My EV sits in the driveway and soaks up excess production from my PV setup.
My main problem is it’s never really empty enough.
If I’m on the road, a high voltage DC charger gets me from 10% to 50% in about 10 minutes. Barely enough time for a coffee and a leak, then it’s another 2 hours of driving. Rinse, repeat.
Sure, you can’t barrel down the Autobahn for 10 hours straight without stopping but who wants that?
Sounds quite similar to Markov chains which made me think of this story:

Still gets a snort out of me every time Markov chains are mentioned.
Depending on your level of caffeine tolerance/dependency actual coffee might be even better.

IF you already have an email domain you control.
Calling “acquiring and setting up an email domain and configuring the mail server for wildcards” “basically no extra effort” is a bit disingenuous compared to “solve a captcha for a Gmail account”
Yeah, inductive charging is basically a must.
Especially because it eliminates the guesswork if the watch is correctly seated to charge
Oh, they’re putting a lot of thought into it I’m sure.
That thought being “Money, Money, Money, Profit, Profit” of course.
No actual technical solution here, but it smells slightly of XY-Problems.
From what you described it seems the main issues are
Maybe you could look into solutions like setting a custom ringtone for important callers or having the phone announce caller names so your mother can decide if she wants to make the effort to get her phone.
I’m speculating a bit here but I can imagine that getting up and answering the phone is exhausting for your mother. Also if her mindset is " a ringing phone means it’s important" that could make it even more stressful.
Maybe you could find a way to let her silence all calls except caregivers and ICE contacts. (On Android DND exceptions could work for that)
That way she doesn’t feel pressured to answer the phone every time it rings and stays reachable.
If it’s actually just the physical issue of reaching the phone in time, does she have a convenient way to carry the phone indoors like a lanyard?
Hope some of this helps you
There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.
Should easily kill a week.
Ah, you “work” in “marketing”?
It doesn’t. It carries you by having a module for absolutely everything even shooting yourself in the foot.

They should not be worried, they should be educated.
If you worry a new user enough they’ll go back to Windows or Apple because there’s less scary warnings there.
We need to make the transition as pain free as possible. Learning about the joys of kernel compilation and SELinux can come later.
The first step is "Hey, this is as usable as Windows, without stupid ads in the start menu.
