Ah ok, that is rather annoying, I have a couple usbc to usb 3.0 cables that have that issue. I also drive a lot of rentals, have never had the issue with a usbc to usbc.
I would assume by electricity they mean current and it quite literally does not follow the path of least resistance it is just split inversly proportionally based on the resistance of paths.
I think your point to boycotting makes sense every other point only applies if I work for one of those major companies, I dont, my company respects the labor they have and provides us great compensation and stability, definitely not the norm within my the sector. So sure I'll be stopping using Google services as much but I can't withhold their labor and anything I do at my workplace will have zero effect on those companies.
But why? If you had the choice of getting stabbed with a pin or stabbed with a knife why would you ever abstain or not choose the pin? It just doesn't make sense.
You're also making assumptions in that the volatile memory lost power and thus must have been cleared at some point. I dont think there is a right or a wrong based on the knowledge i have I just am throwing out a random guess.
If the data is temporarily stored until it is transmitted and then is not considered to be needed anymore I see no reason as to why that would need to be stored locally forever.
It is possible that the data is just never saved in non-volatile memory meaning that once power is lost that the values are also lost. In which case its not really deleting the information but rather just that information is just never intentionally saved.
P.S. I am not a tesla fan boy just wanted to give this tiny insight.
My guess would be that some may not be viable because of certain drugs but that doesn't mean all of them are. You probably wouldn't want the liver of a heavy drinker but thier lungs are probably fine?
