...in Chicago ... pre-heating the car is a must 3 months of the year.
I don't believe you've lived anywhere cold for very long. Cold places existed long before remote start. The car warms up while you finish shoveling and brushing off the car. You're warm from shoveling, and the car is ready to go. If it's just cold and you're late to whatever, you sit your shivering ass down behind the wheel and drive away anyways...
I hate headlines like these. It feels like they're intentionally ambiguous.
Didn't they give out refunds? That seems like the right thing to do when a massively multiplayer game is dead on arrival.

There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery.
Martin Fowler has a pretty good collection of these.
Momentum. And it's likely most people won't be about to tell, or regularly run comparisons to find out for themselves. Theres enough value added to Chrome that people kind of assume it's "the best" ... It took me years to convince my boss to switch, but the one thing that did it for him was just that the PDF viewer is better in Firefox.
People have weird preferences that don't always line up with what software developers expect.
I switched to Duck Duck Go and Firefox and have never looked back.
Brave always seemed kinda scummy to me, like they're robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Or, you know, wake up at the same literal time, no matter what the clock says. Listen to your circadian rhythms, not some number on the wall. The time shift doesn't magically give people an extra hour. That's all marketing. DST stands for Daylight Stealing Time, as far as I'm concerned.
