The only area I know well is the NW corner of the USA, but there is indeed public transit. I can’t say how it compares to even other parts of the US, let alone other countries, but I can say that in the urban and suburban areas it’s generally possible to walk or bike to a bus stop and with some transfers, get within a walkable or bicycle-able distance of where you are going. Some rural areas have a system called “dial-a-ride” which are basically on-demand small buses if I understand correctly. Similar systems exist for people with disabilities in the urban areas also.

Besides buses there are also ferries, and local train systems (light rail) which connect neighborhoods and cities in the same major metropolitan area. Trains between major metros (such as between states) also exist, but typically it’s just not worth it: If you aren’t going to just drive it by car, then flying is both faster and cheaper than the train, and flying isn’t cheap.

There are also commuter trains between the downtowns of major (nearby) cities separate from the light rail, but I’ve never actually tried that myself.

Yes, better batteries that don’t spontaneously combust, and last for far more charge cycles

I don’t expect it so quickly, but hopefully lithium ion batteries (and variants like Li-poly, LiFePO4, etc)

Looks good actually.

But how does it handle the door opening early? Does it still leave unused time sitting on the time dial?

I would agree with you, but I still want to own a microwave. There are none with reasonable UI behavior as far as I can tell.

(Edit) For example: Opening the door a few seconds early always leaves time on the display which should just automatically clear after a minute or two. Obviously if the user doesn’t use that leftover time immediately then they aren’t going to.

I’ve had good success with small pieces of electrical tape cut so that a very small part of the LED is still exposed.

Very little, around 60k.

A 1.44 “MB” floppy is 1440k, or about 1.406 real MB, and of that the space used by the FAT file system reduces it to around 1.38 free space.
For some reason I couldn’t find the exact number and don’t have any handy to check it myself.

In that case it’s actually the twentieth (or more likely twenty first) minor version though, it’s not actually a decimal

Had to look this up.

It’s a quote from Steve Jobs saying he thought computers would enhance minds the way bicycles enhance efficiency of travel.

(One of the search results.)

In at least some of the cases, it’s actually unclear which happened.

Depends on how common songs about pancakes and bacon are.

Is it really though…

We do, but OP wants the correct answer.
