I think you'll come to realize that it isn't your attention span but rather the amount of mental energy you have left after working a 9 to 5 for 5 days a week
There are ways to calculate a batteries remaining life, usually you'd have a chip dedicated to tracking all of that. They can tell you a battery's history, health, estimated charge capacity etc. So if the station detects a batteries life is low or it's marked as chaged but it's charged significantly below it's initial capacity it can be taken out of rotation and inspected and fixed/disposed of if need be.
Personally I wonder, once we have interchangeable batteries, if it will be more common to have several smaller, shorter life span batteries that add up to a certain range. That way the recharge station only has to change out the batteries with a lower charge, and even if the battery system trips up and you get a borked battery your range would be slightly reduced not completely gone or halved
No they never forced them but they said "hey here's this really awesome sandboxed platform that runs on almost any os, and it's a modern browser!" That's really enticing to a platform like steam where most of their app is web based. Steam isn't a desktop application, it's a hybrid application that needs a web browser. Do you know how hard it is to upkeep a modern browser? There's a reason it's pretty much only chromium and Mozilla making browsers. It's not laziness, it made sense, and Google was the only one making anything like that at the time for developers to use.
Once Google had the market share, they started making changes that they knew would affect everyone using their platform, and that's how they wanted it.
Not really Steam's fault, their app is built in a chromium browser, which stopped supporting those OSes a few years ago. A perfect example of Google having too much control over the Internet. This is what happens when big companies are allowed to purchase their competitors.
Edit: people in this thread are either really forgetting how much trust google used to have with basically the entire Internet. They were seen as the "good guys" for a long time.
Or they're forgetting how unique and revolutionary chromium based desktop apps were when they first came out. It is a colossal pain in the ass to create a modern browser, if you have a web page in your desktop app like steam does, it quickly became a very difficult, time consuming, and virtually fruitless endeavor to develop a headless browser just to sit within your desktop app when you could just go with chromium.
For EVs, these batteries are better for the environment to produce and to dispose of, and if you're able to replace them every time you go to a recharge station you'll never have a battery die because it won't be in your car long enough. The batteries keep rotating until they die and then they get taken out of rotation and disposed of.
UPS has dropped my box off so say, only for there to be nothing, twice. The second time they provided "proof." It was a form that said delivered with no image.
Yes, the majority of the population in the US is in the northeast, that's why people hate the electoral college system. It gives a significant amount of power to a majority voting minority. A better way to represent a minority would be a ranked choice system.
