Now a multi screwdriver is something you can buy.

You had it, then you lost it. It's for those things you need only once a year or two years or never again.

Oh we've canadianized this too. We have yy-mm-dd. The two digit year makes it really fun. Pretty sure I've seen yy/mm/dd too. And we have yy-mm-dd where the mm is a two letter abbreviation with MA and I have to look it up each time if it's March or May. We also have yy-mmm-dd with the more common letter abbreviations. Those are all government abominations of ISO.

Are you serious? It's spelt out. The other one you can confuse day and month.

How the fuck is it cheaper to software lock than to assemble a smaller battery? Like aren't the batteries expensive? You just put in fewer cells for a smaller battery.

Avoid confusion in dates by saying May 6, 2024. This is the Canadian way because we had dd/mm/yy, but American influence of mm/dd/yy led to mass confusion. Everyone switched to May 6 to avoid it all.

Just write it. US or UK doesn't matter.

Analysts are all about "product differentiation". Everyone was Android, so the way to differentiate themselves was to go with windows.
