Can confirm, done this exact thing with tasker in the past. Don’t have the script anymore though.

I use Gboard because I can’t find another keyboard with good japanese 9 key flick typing.

Good point, in the countryside there’s not as much apartment living so it would probably be easier to install a charging station.

The big cities are walkable / have good transport, but the countryside is inaccessible without a car for the most part.

How is Japan going to do that by 2035? Almost nobody has a garage, and there are no charging spaces at the parking spots most people are forced to rent (you need one within 2km of your residence). I haven’t heard of any mandate to get charging spots installed at these rental parking areas, and then there’s the issue of how electricity would be billed. Electric cars are for the very wealthy right now ( in Japan ).

Especially considering the news on poor adoption rates for windows 11, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case. It could also be an explanation as to why we are only seeing these ads added to w11 right now.

The US seems to primarily still use sms. I’ve heard it’s tied to having unlimited messaging phone plans being the norm, so people weren’t as drawn to other platforms.
