Imo, the only solution is every device with an antenna must be legally required to put a manual off switch.
Cell service, wifi, Bluetooth, any future service. If it broadcasts it needs a physical off switch.
If I sold my car to a government official and they found out I had hidden a camera, microphone and GPS in the car, I’d get a visit from the FBI. Yet companies do it with impunity. Does the CEO of Subaru have recordings of Bernie Sanders driving in his car?
“Why” is a valid question until and only until you get to the edge of knowledge. At that point it’s “physical laws”.
For example, “Why is the sky blue?” is a valid question and has answers.
"Even seemingly impossible questions like, “Why is there magnetism.” can be answered by applying special relativity to electric fields. (Feynman answered this question poorly in the Horizon interview which might be where you got the idea that why is a bad question.)
You end up at, “Why are there photons?” which can’t be answered. (Or maybe can’t be answered yet.)
My interpretation of the question was why so many elements in the periodic table are metal and that does have an answer. It relates to the number of electrons on the outer shell that are mobile because the more electrons in an atom, the “farther” away they are and therefore are mobile. That electron mobility gives the element properties that we call “metal”.

It’s not a show to get new audiences into Trek like Prodigy. Lower Decks is written by fans for existing fans of TNG era Trek. It is non stop obscure Trek jokes.
Yet they and their descendants would go on to transform Europe and much of Asia genetically, culturally and linguistically. Among the many innovations that these steppe migrants ushered in, scientists believe, are the Indo-European languages that are dominant in Europe today, and which are spoken by nearly half of humanity....
The only thing I really hate is they did the prequel nonsense again. Disney doesn’t trust that they can do anything original. So instead of a new character, they take a well received character from a previous movie and make a prequel which itself was a prequel. At this rate, they’ll take a character from Andor like Sirkis and make the next series a prequel for his character.
It diminishes the story if you’ve already seen the ending.
I mow the lawn myself but I outsourced the design and manufacturing of my mower. Same with string trimmer and leaf blower. I also buy my gasoline instead of making it myself.
I’m just being nitpicky because you are using CRT interchangeably with Television. CRT’s are used in TV’s but aren’t interlaced unless the circuitry around them sends interlaced. So no, interlacing is not native on CRT’s when receiving an interlaced signal. If I plugged a Nintendo into my old ViewSonic CRT, I wouldn’t get a signal because it didn’t support NTSC interlaced input.
It’s like saying interlacing is native on LCDs. LCD TVs are interlaced, not LCDs.
If people didn’t want cheap cookie cutter suburbs they would spend more for something else.
Yeah, it’s the best they can afford. Like Campbell’s soup. If they had more money the homes would be larger and more unique. But that wouldn’t change suburban sprawl at all.
Suburban sprawl exists because people do not want to live that close to others. It doesn’t matter how nice you make apartments when a large percentage of the population are introverts and will pay as much as they can afford to have space.
The problem isn’t politics or laws. The problem is people.
