I have personally written code for quantum computers to save time due to algorithmic complexity; I was a college student at the time.
So if their usefulness is stuck in the unknowable future then I'm a time traveler.

I don't understand your reply; I think you misunderstood my comment. OP is from Ireland (Europe), I'm saying that he is the one with Euro-identity bias, not you. From his locality within Europe, American shops appear 'rundown' in presentation, and there's an implied suggestion that this is a uniquely American thing (within the global North-West). With that comes the bias that since he's in Europe, the rest of Europe (or global North-West in general) would share this perspective.
I've had this same bias myself, having grown up in Italy I had assumed that was generally representative of Europe and there were many things I thought of as purely American that were actually common in parts of Europe.
Based on your and the other guy's comment this sounds like European/Old-World identity bias (and a bit of availability bias); Assuming that other countries within one's group-identity are very similar and [non-European country] is a lone standout when it comes to some aspect that one just learned they differ on. It's so common to see these kinds of comments on posts of the form 'why do American's do this one weird thing different than everyone else'.
I always loved the how the line "rise up lights" when pronounced with an American or English accent is 'razor blades' in an Australian accent.
No, this is the media conflating the publics perception of physical security and cybersecurity to make a story. If you ask an average person how hard it is to steal money from a casino they'd say it's next to impossible, but if instead you asked them how hard it was to hack their attached hotel's booking system they'd say they had no idea.
Yep, Mumble is the most common, and there are still a couple groups that use Teamspeak.
Discord caps at 100 people in a call while I've seen good Mumble servers handle over 800.
