There are giant swaths of area with no coverage, especially in the mountains of arizona, including the freeways and especially highways. The entire western US can be spotty with signal out in the great wide open. It isn't until the Midwest and more east that one should largely not worry about signal coverage anymore.

What is a non-mechanical mechanical part?

Google Maps is always dead on for me. I regularly drive very long distances across the US. The time estimates are within minutes of accurate even when there are sudden or extreme backups like in Los Angeles. There's plenty to criticize Google for, but it isn't Google maps for me.

Despite autopilot's flaws, this is already true, if we are speaking statistically.

Ash is the only one I'm aware of, but that's primarily going to be found and used on stuff like routers or other embedded devices. Any modern shell can support history. That said, many users will disable it or wipe it on logout for security reasons.

Well, yes. I wasn't really intending to make a comparison. I was just explaining the meme. There was a time when getting your wifi/network card going in Linux was somewhat of a hassle for many.

This is true today. Had you tried that back in 2005, you'd very likely be fiddling with drivers. I specifically remember making a disk that contained all the drivers I'd need if I had to reinstall for any reason. Without it and without a network, you'd have to have another computer available to grab drivers from the internet.

I'm not going to entertain your buffoonery.

Point it out and share it with everyone. That's what FOSS is all about. I bet you won't.

What is why it is not being "downloaded"? It seems you don't actually understand how it works. You realize we are talking on a federated network right now, yeah? You must be trolling.

Have you at all attempted to look? It's open source.
