Eh? Persians gave the name "Hindus" to the people living in that area. But they had their own religion, Zoroastrianism. They didn't bring Hinduism because they didn't have Hinduism.
There are people for whom that would be a value proposition. If that’s not you, well, you still get to keep the features you want for free.
On a slightly different note, this sort of thing is what makes me question whether we can have an orderly progression from the current Level 2 self-driving in cars to Level 5. When a plane does most of its flying by itself, if it can cause this much chaos by handing control back to a trained pilot without much warning, how much worse would it be when a car hands control back to a inexperienced, distracted driver in tricky driving conditions... especially considering that reaction times need to be much faster on the road?

starting up instances for new conversations and shutting them down once the
conversations are complete.BotManD bots are simple standalone executables which read input on...
Yeah, agree, for a lot of people, social status will be always the primary driver. But if ever achieve a society where everybody has all necessities taken care of without needing to work for them, and people (the ones who choose to) only struggle for social status, that, for all practical purposes, is utopia.
Leaving aside the question of whether touchscreens make sense inside a car at all, I’m not sure how a control to open the glove box which is not situated on the actual glove box help? I mean, you probably opened the glove box to put something in or take something out. Once it is open, you would almost certainly physically reach inside it.

You could argue that display ads in general are a positive. (I personally disagree, but that I can see how reasonable people might see it differently.) But tracking is not close to being ethical.
The difference is between someone handing out pamphlets for a new baby care product because you are walking into a baby clothing store, and one handing you the same pamphlet because he has gone through your trash and found your pregnancy test results.
That's what I did when the same happened to me. Enable iCloud Keychain on the iPad and the Mac, wait for the passwords to sync (might take a few minutes) and then open Keychain Access on the Mac and find the password on it.
