How much of that do you need to assess whether driving into a brick wall at 100 mph is a bad idea. How did this person even stay alive until 18?

You don't need a fully developed brain to understand that intentionally driving into a brick wall at 100 mph will have severe consequences.

Disney+ does the same as far as I remember.

Electron is a framework for building desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. By embedding Chromium and Node.js into its binary, Electron allows you to maintain one JavaScript codebase and create cross-platform apps that work on Windows, macOS, and Linux — no native development experience required.

Electron docs

Electron is so much more than "just a web engine with a full set of OS xalls hooked in". Ultralight and Sciter are frameworks that actually just happen to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript for UI development. They aren't fully-fledged web browsers without a search box, they are tailor-made for app development.

Electron is an unholy fusion of Chromium and Node.JS. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't 'just happen' to use HTML and CSS. It's literally just a browser with most of the default browser UI being hidden. Something like React Native would better fit your definition.

The thing is, what Apple is doing with memory actually does make sense from a performance and efficiency standpoint. Modern CPUs and GPUs have become so fast that the time signals take to travel between components (like memory and CPU) has become critical (especially in their new M1 products as memory is being shared between the CPU and GPU). That being said, the same definitely isn't true for storage. Apple soldering SSDs to the motherboard is just them trying to rip their customers off.

Notice the may.

Eating animal foods is also linked to increased risk of certain types of cancer, stroke, etc. It's totally possible to avoid malnutrition even on a vegan diet. It just requires some consideration.

Huh? No, I am not. Find me an inexpensive laser printer that does color at the same level of quality as a basic inkjet printer.

Color laser printers are very expensive and still don't achieve the same picture quality as an inkjet printer. And I have read once that dust from laser printers might cause cancer but not sure how much there really is to that.

They have. OnePlus was great until the OnePlus 5. Now they have become just another premium smartphone brand. Same thing will happen to Nothing eventually.
