I don't disagree with the short memory idea, but one of the main reasons is that most people just buy tickets to where they need to go + when they need to get there and the plane they get is the plane they get.

Last month I flew commercially for the first time since the mid '90's (went to LA to see the Rams kick my Seahawks ass). So I had a location and schedule that was pretty much set, and I had no idea what planes I would be sitting in, and to your point, didn't really care. There's probably a way to find out which type of plane you'll be riding in when you're booking your trip but I don't know what it is. As far as I know it was right on the ticket, which these days is just an image on your phone.

There is a long range 5g mode, but it is essentially 4g anyways. Has the same data rates and frequencies. That was logic behind the silly 'label 4g as 5g' that some privider did recently.

Smart people will ultimately figure that out and let the general public know. The media outlets will pick that up and report it. Boeing is in even more trouble. The 737 Max is a no-win situation. The only solution is to scrap the line and begin from scratch with safety as the primary consideration.

10 is actually a pretty decent OS. It just has a lot of crap bundled with it. If you want to really dig all that stuff out let me know and I could point you in the right direction. For most people though, just do not use a Microsoft sign when you setup your user. You can have a local login. Say no to all telemetry options, don't use Edge.

After all that, it is relatively benign. That will still leave forced updates on. If you are pro you can just turn this off, enterprise you can disable it with rules, on Home etc you can still do it, but it requires reg-work.

Huawei is half the cost of everybody else.
That makes them the obvious choice.

A better question to ask: "Is the 737 Max brand damaged goods?" I believe most people know the answer, so it doesn't matter if the plane is safe.

Well, I guess I'll be getting a NvMe drive...

Be aware that some M.2 drives are sata speed.

LTSC is the best option. Too bad they're so hard to come by, or by sailing the high seas.

As long as you're buying a new SSD, does your current system support Nvme types? I'd not really gotten into it before my recent upgrades but I was surprised to learn that Nvme SSD's are 5 to 7 times faster than SATA versions.
