When shopping for phones to buy outright, I remember seeing that you can buy phones locked to specific carriers. Supposedly different carriers use some different bands and so the carrier specific version has the corresponding antenna/receiver.

Ah yes I forgot Joe Biden was president in 1990.

Here's the image in the article that has the 25:

In April, Alfa Romeo, which is another Italian brand under Stellantis, decided to rename its new, Poland-made Milano model as Junior following pressure from authorities.

This seems like they are going too far. Plenty of cars are named after places and it has never once occurred to me that they were literally made there.

I think that's true for Stone Henge, the Mona Lisa, gluing themselves to roads, etc.

I think targeting high profile extremely wealthy people is different and will be much more effective. I guess time will tell.

I don't think the general public cares about Taylor Swift needing to get her jet re-painted. Only Swifties will care.

No don't worry. You're the normal one.

Ironic last name for someone trying to start a race war.

I don't think the wider population would accept the compromises necessary for a million miles vehicle. There is always a balance between component longevity, cost, performance, features, and safety.

They can exist but I don't forsee wide adoption due to it being wildly expensive and/or bare bones in terms of contemporary features.

It's not in South Beach. It's 70 miles north of South Beach. It's in an expensive areas but not South Beach.

I use binder clips for a really secure hold.
