Unfortunately you're in the minority these days, at least in the eyes of manufacturers. It appears that dual cabs are what sell so they're what get made.

The lack of useful tray sizes in utes is one reason I ended up going for a van for something to put my dirt bike in - unlike most of the utes I was finding within my budget it actually has a load space long enough to fit the bike with room to spare and low enough to roll it in easily.

You can't fit a full sheet in a dual cab Hilux, Ranger, or DMAX (etc etc) either but these utes sell in vast quantities. To get a dual cab in something not ridiculously large (and not a cab over design) the tray size will inherently be compromised, it seems however that people still go for the extra seats much more than single cabs with more useful tray sizes.

ZenFone 10, because it's one of the now rare phones where you can still reach the whole screen with one hand.

I would be reasonably confident in offline games running in 20 years if you bought the cartridges, if you bought the estore versions I would be significantly less confident.

Say that to start off with then rather than "there's no way to drive safely above the speed limit on a public road", because there clearly are roads where it can be safe to drive above the speed limit.

GPS tech is definitely decades old, I could dig out a couple of handheld units I have in a box that would qualify for that distinction (circa 2000) and those were a few models into what was available to consumers let alone unis and governments.

Using that specific application for decades is more of a stretch, but technically possible if you count all Mapfactor navigation and they first used it on a PC (released 2002 apparently). Even on mobile devices it's not that far off qualifying as possible though (released 2007 on Windows CE so 16 years).

That seems a common sentiment in camera design, so I'm not surprised to find such issues elsewhere too.

Yes, microwaves are a poor substitute for an oven but they work fine for vegetables that you might otherwise use a steamer to cook. Stuff like broccoli, beans, carrot pieces etc. Corn on the cob works well too, just give it a few minutes in the microwave with the husk still on.

Bing gave me this for 'Going off like a frog in a sock'.

Edit: Also this one for 'Flat out like a lizard drinking'.

OP is either worried about ghosts or the serial killer(s) whom he nicked a few bodies from.

What do you mean electric motors have no transmissions?

They do though, it's just that most are single speed reduction boxes (unless you've got a Taycan).

How the heck are you getting gunk in your USB C ports? 🤨

How are you not getting lint and dust in your USB C ports? Not really a problem with computers due to the cleaner usage environment but I have to clean out the port on my phone every few months or the cable will start losing connection at the slightest bump.

I wouldn't expect Lightning is immune from this either but it likely is less of an issue there due to having less narrow gaps for lint to get caught in the port.
