  • Because it’s basically a non-standardized percentage.

    Something like per-capita would be more accurate, since that factors in each individual there is in the population.

    The other issues are: how often the cars are used / are they in use, how much public transportation exists, and percentage of the population using public transportation vs private vehicle. Italy for example was one of the earliest automaker countries, so it’s likely a significant amount of people there have legacy vehicles that aren’t allowed in public roads - essentially museum pieces. Legacy vehicles can make a country look like it’s doing worse in public transportation than it actually is as well.

    That’s why the best measurement for progress in this would be percentage use of public transportation / non-automobile use, maybe in combination with population living in rural zones as well (so that more rural countries don’t look worse than they are).












  • Should clarify: I meant the IoT LTSC version of Windows. It gets support for much longer too, since it sounded like you reinstalled Windows anyway. Plus games and RAM heavy software work snappier on those cleaner, more minimal versions of Windows. It made a difference even on my 7.5k water cooled desktop. You’d think 128gb of DDR5 RAM, 7900x3D, 3090 computer wouldn’t have any slow down, but base Windows is REALLY bloated - enough that even at those specs you can notice a difference on a gen 5 m.2 ssd. I still use Windows for some modded games and a specific audio program. Oh, and CAD software.

    Same with my girlfriend’s 2k gaming laptop. Startup and such is way faster now.

    Plus no telemetry or ads as a bonus of course.
