I doubt connected cars will go away. It is very practical. Allowing to root the vehicle and providing documentation might be compatible with modern consumer expectations.

There are many suppliers of parts. The easiest solution is to replace the engine with an electric motor and the weight won in gutting the motor and tank by batteries. The gearbox is often kept for simplicity. Kits are available from sites such as https://eveurope.eu/

The biggest challenge for me has been local regulations. Check those.

The CR-Z is a historic piece imo. Kudos on keeping it on the road. You'd have to replace both engines in your case but perhaps the driving dynamics can be kept.

Dacia Spring, VW e-up, Tesla Roadster (first gen) and compliance vehicles such as e-golf.

I use OSM& which is horrid to set up but it allows me to take the most energy efficient route.

OrganicMaps is FOSS and is much easier. There's some fuss about it though.

MagicEarth is included. Not FOSS but seemed to work well.

Turn by turn navigation works well in all of these. No Android Auto to my knowledge and no traffic information to my knowledge.

This was a really good suggestion. I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you.

TIL. Thanks.

Looks like there's a difference in using it with or without a capital (scanning some online sources). https://www.languagehumanities.org/what-is-the-difference-between-a-state-nation-and-country.htm indicates it should be written with a capital but even then I would not have known. That might be an LLM hallucination, if it is not then my comment could be correct.

Why not use the only accepted country though? As a non-native speaker coming from an EU country it feels derogative.

It's about France, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Greece. These are countries, not states.

That helps to kill the animals if I understand you correctly. Your last point was to find them. It may surprise you, but I did not research the suggestions you made and don't know their alternate uses. You could get rid of a nest after finding it without also killing the bees in your area (at least, public services handle that and I didn't hear otherwise).

You can find them and get them removed all without shouting :-)

Wasps fly a rather straight pattern back to their nest. Find the nest by using some food they like, such as a sugar drink, and see where they fly to when they leave. Move the container closer until you find the nest.

Bought a Slimbook Laptop because Apple's repair would take too long. Slimbook is a Spanish company. We generally buy laptops from smaller suppliers at our company since.

We have been running on European providers for our rented servers for over a decade and are happy there too.

jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure.

Looks like they wanted Clojure to have a smaller runtime.

We have a few Tuxedo computers and some other Linux brands at our company and are generally happy about them. Cheaper devices have a less than perfect keyboard (though I liked the one on the slimbook) a worse camera and microphone (though some are very ok).

I'm very happy with these Linux devices. The few makes for which we needed parts also supplied them but sending the device their way for repair took longer than we'd have wanted.
