    Having used DEX quite a bit over the years, they’re going to have major software issues if they don’t get developers to make their apps desktop friendly.

    • Many apps hate resizing.
    • Sub-par keyboard and mouse support in lots of apps.
    • UIs concieved to get by on small screens but don’t work well.
    • Lightweight mobile versions that don’t hold up to their desktop counterparts

    This could be good for a lot of casual users if they put the effort in to execute it well. It could also grow android tablet and phone sales. The idea of a single unified platform for desktop and mobile could be helpful for a lot of users. Especially if one device can do both.

    I haven’t read the DOT code in a while, so I genuinely don’t recall if they’re mandated, but I recall that all my trucks had them.

    This is of absolutely no use in preventing people from a close merge on the passenger side where the driver definitely cannot see. Often the driver’s first indication that this has occurred is the crunch. I’ve never seen one of these accidents that wasn’t completely avoidable.

    It’s not most Americans. It’s about a third (which is still huge) and less than half of the population living in a gun owning household.

    Then there’s a spectrum of how “important” guns are culturally. There are in my experience 3 categories of gun owners.

    1. People who own a gun or two. They may take it to the range or hunt, but mostly it’s tucked securely away and they don’t think about it or use it.

    2)Then there are collectors and enthusiasts. They enjoy firearms as a hobby. They have multiple. They watch firearms videos on social media. They go to gun shows and might join a club related to the hobby.

    3)Then there are the paranoid psychopaths for whom gun ownership and the insistence that they could have to defend themselves at any time is constantly at the forefront of their mind. They wish they had a reason to shoot someone and may end up shooting someone anyway.
