For now, the concrete supercapacitor can store a little under 300 watt-hours per cubic metre
OK then, so this is incredibly far from being near any real world application

Mini PCs have the same level of software and driver support as any desktop PC, so probably even better than raspi.
Not sure what a pi4 uses, but my NUC (16gb ram, 1tb NVME, quad core i3 up to 2.4ghz) running my smart home (HA in a VM) and a few other small services in LXCs uses ~7W on average. Loads more compute power if I need it at half the price. Even if a pi4 draws half the power, that's only $8 saving per year.
Fuck, this is seriously bad news
Think of how well people treat public transport they all depend on...now that place is your car and people are alone and unsupervised. You're going to spend a large amount of time and money keeping the car from being a trashed mess.
The IT department are the morons enforcing that shit.
In many cases there simply isn't an alternative to windows. I work in industrial automation, and the software and tools we need only run on windows and there is no change to that in sight. We unfortunately just have to cope with this. What I think is, that enterprise OS versions will be able to disable this stuff entirely because it's a major issue WRT things like customer sensitive solutions.
Yeah most could probably make the switch with no hassle. But their laptop shipped with windows, and it's still working for them, so why would they bother to make that switch? Unless someone forces it on them, they're not going anywhere.
Windows will continue as always. The "normies" as you call them don't give a shit about this. They want things they use on a day-to-day basis to work with no interference from them, they really don't care how.
I think 3.5" are usually priced better per tb than 2.5" drives and performance is usually better too. So unless you feel like burning money for an inferior solution, are have some space constraints that doesn't allow 3.5" drives, I wouldn't go with 2.5" drives. They're more energy efficient though, but you'd need a fuckton of drives for that to make a worthwhile difference in your power bill.
Calling taxes a fine is about the most american thing ever...
A cubic meter is just a whole lot of volume for incredibly little power. A regular 80Ah car battery has almost 4 times the power capapcity as a cubic meter of this.
