• You can run Oregon trail in the palm of your hand, and many much more sophisticated games offline using emulation. Not just that, there are thousands of people making offline-friendly indie games.
• Visicalc was not cloud-based. You can run LibreOffice Write completely offline now.
• Wordstar didn't have to deal with the threat landscape of the internet as we know it today. If you want you can turn off updates in your office suite of choice and manually update as you need.
• Apple basic can still be run, emulated, on a machine that runs a whole day off a battery. So can Sinclair basic and gw basic and logo. Python and perl run natively on my phone and tablet that work as all day servers that I carry everywhere.
• I use Renoise. It doesn't either. OpenMPT is available if you don't want to pay. There are tons of open source options. Sunvox is available for mobile devices. I make music professionally and neither Cubase nor Reaper force me to use AI. If there are plugins like that they are uninteresting to me and I ignore them. And I started making computer music on screamtracker. I love the tech we have for music now.

What people take away for themselves is a function of their already-existing bias. I watched south park during a formative period of my life and the lesson I took away is that everything can be laughed at, and how ridiculous some of the things we take for granted are.

For some context, it's because Indian movies were conventionally much longer in length (2.5 to 3 hours). Movies are written to have a cliffhanger at the interval, so much so that it's sometimes referred to as a meta joke.

Hadn't heard of it. I'll check it out, thanks!

and recently made an album using mostly Android,

What did you use? Cubasis? G stomper? Flstudio?

And what part did you give up doing on Android?

I can answer that as an Indian casually in the market for an EV. The infrastructure isn't really as good as western countries. Charging stations aren't easy to find outside of major highways, and they aren't as visible.

For intra-city users:

EVs are considerably more expensive than ICEs and India is a very price-sensitive market. The biggest successes for EVs here are Tata Nexons, for example. The ICE version starts at almost half the price of the EV.

Buyers will compare and run the numbers and unless you use it a lot, it can go either way. That combined with the iffy infrastructure is enough to make many people just go for ICE right now, in the hope that their next car will be an EV, when prices come down and tech is next-gen.

It is bound to happen. Prices are falling and more EVs are on the road, but it hasn't reached critical mass yet.

Also, BYDs are actually quite expensive here compared to home grown solutions. Check the Tata EV range out.

Another factor that you're overlooking is that India has a huge market of 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and mini trucks. That's a space where EVs make a lot of sense. They pay for themselves the more you use them.

So in food delivery, logistics, courier services etc., there's already a very noticeable shift in motion, and that's promising.

That's only for vehicles. It isn't the same thing.

SD cards don't perform wear leveling while ssds do. This is why there are specific SD cards meant for surveillance cameras. They have additional wear levelling circuitry at the expense of speed.

So photographers who fill up their sd cards end up writing over the same spots repeatedly and wear them out.

Glad I could help!

Edit: I see now that you had already ordered. I was glad to be part of this journey nonetheless.
