Fallout 3 has that great bit in the vault tec exhibit with scruffy bloodstained walls and flickering lights. Great environmental story telling. You expect an ambush to occur but it never does.

but they could have just as easily put the logo and the user's name on the right and the chip on the left

Extensions written for one should work in the other as well after some minor repackaging.

The population density argument really doesn't hold up.

Australia has a lower density and much much better plans.

SK, 6th in population density within Canada has the best rates because they have a crown-owned telecom provider SaskTel

I also started seeing much slower performance in Google Maps and street view in the last few weeks.

This was a good product by Google, and I really wished it was available as a web app to make trip planning easier, but i don't see why we can't have both a web version as well as an offline app.

Doesn't this also lock in users to Apple? Will I still be able to use these apps on other devices?

What are your thoughts about accounts such as u/mvea consistently hitting the front page on a daily basis, often with links that were posted by other accounts earlier but only gained traction when posted by this account?

Not the guy you replied to but here's my take on this. Users like gallowboob and mvea have been known to post and repost the same content multiple times. If it doesn't get traction within the first few minutes, they delete that and try again. On some other subreddits like EvilBuildings, the mods frequently prune the subreddit's front page which lets posts with a lower number of upvotes hit /r/all more easily. This kind of manipulation was also being done by some other subreddits which led the admins to step in and stop them from showing up on the front page

There are browser extensions like Stylus which allow you to force dark mode on websites

How about extensions on the Android app, container tabs, better ui, no google integration, built in tracking protection etc

Do they still have invulnerable couriers or was that restriction removed?

Usually when you're working on the scale of operating systems, you have people focusing on particular areas e.g. kernel teams, networking teams, graphics teams etc and you also have their corresponding test teams. So no one person usually even has understanding of the entire source code.

and you can leave it running in the background all day long

and basic javascript upgrades like the ability to select multiple emails at the same time, keyboard shortcuts to delete emails/reply etc.
