This ruined my experience using chrome on my phone. Done with it.

Not just commonplace, required by law.

Seems like these articles and the subsequent top replies saying

"use a token from the device so the ID never leaves, this is way better right!"

This is the true objective. They actually want DEVICE based ID.

I want LESS things that are tied to me financially and legally to be stolen when(not if) these services and my device are compromised.

it only loosely takes into account the total BTU of energy produced not all the byproducts and equipment that needs energy to be replaced. 5 million homes heat with heating oil 70 million homes heat with NG. 26 million tons of bitumen for asphalt roads You can assume 13 million tons of shingles going to the dump each year are replaced with shingles using again bitumen. ~10% of fossil fuels consumed per year go to making plastics

Again when you refine or produce OIL you don't just get one or the other. Most of the power generation in Mexico (over 50%) is literally just the waste NG from producing oil from the shale in western USA. (We were previously just burning this off at the wells btw)

Many of the resources consumed to make electricity at the scale we are talking replacing the production of those resources create the other resources used to for various other things

e.g. diesel(heating oil), jet fuel, gasoline, plastics, asphalt, etc

There is a balance of these.

This also doesn't take into account the extra electricity needed to replace the alternative heating methods in the home that utilize these other materials we're abandoning

There was already a million vehicle recall for a vulnerability that allowed remote control of safety features (steering/breaking/acceleration control) that could be abused by anyone with a sprint mobile sim.

Iowa has over 68,000 miles of gravel roads, something like 60% of the state's roads.

"Offroad" is 60% of the state 50+% of the year

This could be said anywhere with snow, by time the DOT repairs the frost heave after winter its winter again.
