And Apple aren't that much better. They make a lot of privacy claims, but are still pushing hard for their online services like iCloud, and their hardware is designed to hide what it's doing from the user. Apple is still collecting user data. They might be sharing less with third parties, but they are still collecting it.

Mounting in general is a system call, loop mounting is the particular case that is required for features like snap to work

It also lacked a lot of system calls, like ability to loop mount.

What about the passengers? You can't expect them to read the manual of every vehicle they go into. In an accident the driver could be incapacitated.

You can also do it with a sharp rock, or a key...

I use copilot at work all the time and it's incredibly useful. However, it needs careful supervision to produce good quality. And obviously, you need to understand code and what quality means to be able to guide it, otherwise it's just the blind guiding the blind.

Personally I think the problem is the culture which doesn't promote quality, but speed and the wow factor. You don't get promoted for releasing a bug free product, you get promoted for making yourself noticed among the upper management.

Mine have hinges that open, you can remove them by pushing up to remove from the hinges. My parents have one with magnets, but i don't recommend it. The magnets get rusty, and they aren't that well attached, some screens fell and broke with stronger wind.

No, bluetooth is not better. Bluetooth has latency which is bad for anything that needs realtime audio, like video games or any kind of live performance. It also runs on 2.4 like every other electronic Wireless devices making it prone to interference. And it's yet another device to keep charged all the time.

USB C is also inferior because you need dongles which increase complexity of your setup, it's more prone to failures. Like audio cutting off every x minutes because connection is just slightly loose or other electronic gremlins. I'm saying this having just had a gig and the MD's phone we relied on for the metronome started acting up during the performance not recognizing the dongle until a reboot.

Audio jacks were simple, analog, worked perfectly fine and delivered high quality audio. What we have now is overengineered slop that is less reliable and more expensive.
