It sounds like you are speaking from a theoretical perspective. In practice, there is not enough money in radio ads to put any effort in producing material of decent quality. As an objective metric, I found in Germany that the private stations literally broadcast at half the bitrate of the public stations where I tested it.

You say "was" as if it was a thing of the past. But public broadcasting still exists in many countries in Europe, including radio and TV. They have either less or no ads and their quality is much higher than that of purely ad-funded private stations that nowadays are sometimes even completely automated.

Or just some random online tool. I could easily pass the test multiple times with half the time left.

I haven't tried but in principle you only need a Mastodon compatible authentication, there are other services that are not twitter clones. See for example https://fedi.tips/what-other-kinds-of-servers-are-on-the-fed... or more complete https://fediverse.observer/allsoftwares

The correct statement seems to be: raven = vector of hour hand

But maybe that sounded too simple?

Your link does not prove your point. It's about ADAS and even shows that it is not universally safer than human driving.

> However, accidents involving Advanced Driving Systems occur more frequently than Human-Driven Vehicle accidents under dawn/dusk or turning conditions, which is 5.25 and 1.98 times higher, respectively.

I am talking about the fact that the new default email client on Windows will hand over all your email credentials to Microsoft. This has nothing to do with Gmail.

Not just that, the new outlook app makes Microsoft a complete man-in-the-middle for your email account.
