Maybe if they used their brakes all the time, but they don't. (Regen braking uses no brakes). That's why EVs, while heaver, require fewer brake pad replacements than ICE cars.

Interesting.

But what about the use and abuse and shredding of tyres?

But don’t they cause higher pm2.5 and pm10 pollution from braking due to the fact that EVs are heavier than vehicles powered by internal combustion ?

Everything is a platform for ads these days.

This says a lot about our world, doesn’t it?

Linux runs on billions of devices, including billions of phones, Internet routers, 100% of the world's Top 500 supercomputers, etc.

This post makes lots of sense: Windows is and has always been (but it's getting worse now, as TFA notes) a turd whose level of turdiness cannot be understated.

At some point they may just throw the towel in and use an OS that powers tens of billions of devices (which is where Linux is headed).

I think it’s going to happen in 10 years, not in 15.

The one thing I'll want is what we'll never get which is just making it easier to delete e-mails in bulk. And less crap spam filtering. And less sharing my e-mails with third parties.

You need Tuta or Proton or Hey for that.
