They do not make a profit. They operate on a loss to create a market and to capture it.

Only history or does it really allow for roaming across devices? Including OTR?

Have they resolved the issue of switching devices mid-conversation yet?

After today's massive outage of Dutch defence and governmental networks, I feel this clip from Yes Prime Minister is painfully accurate https://youtu.be/IKQlQlQ6_pk

Het hele gedoe rond het vastlopende stelsel van innamepunten voor blikjes en flesjes met statiegeld legt vooral op pijnlijke wijze bloot dat voor een deel van Nederland dat statiegeld niets uitmaakt en tegelijkertijd voor mensen aan de onderkant het inleveren van die flesjes genoeg verschil maakt dat het voor hen de moeite waard is om vuilnisbak na vuilnisbak na te speuren op wat het welvarende deel van Nederland gedachteloos weggooit..

Would you have pointers to sources of those figures? And/or the figures for natural gas and coal, because that is the relevant baseline here.

It helps for grid congestion. There are multiple challenges in the energy transition. The seasonal issue is separate from the daily fluctuations, the latter will be very much diminished once four to eight hour battery backup becomes normal. The seasonal issue will have regional solutions and requires a regional energy mix that fits the regional seasonal changes.

Interesting data point: China is now requiring new solar farms to install battery capacity to the tune of 10% of their maximum output.

Hard disagree, some of the best presentations I have witnessed had their slide decks thrown together in the back of a taxi on the way from the airport to the conference venue. Conversely, some of the worst had been rehearsed over and over beforehand. A good presentation comes from the presenter being on top of their game, both on substance and on presentation skills. A true expert can talk for an hour on their topic when you wake them up in the middle of the night.
