There are two parts to that diagram. The second part being the the number of patients the NHS can treat at any one time. Volunteering helps raise increase NHS capacity.
Or take the iOS approach. The phone is either in a low power mode or not.
The benefit is that the user doesn't need an additional setting for each potential web app to set the threshold for a low power mode, it's all done once at the OS level.
The reason for all this cloud stuff is simplicity! Why have two services when Google/Apple/Other combines all your stuff into one.
Almost no one will frequently use multiple services like iTunes and Google Play, e.g. you aren't going to buy a movie from iTunes then buy the same one from Google Play just in case Apple pull the rug out from under you.
Same with email: I have a few addresses but my primary one (99% of the time) is tied to outlook.com.
We have allowed it to happen: We own nothing these days, we just rent stuff.

Open a Gmail account and get it to collect all your email from outlook.com. Also, set up mail forwarding so all your outlook.com email goes to Gmail. (Third backup: a desktop email client.)
I do this the other way round: I use Gmail as my main email address (with my own domain name) with everything forwarded to outlook.com, where sweep makes it really easy to clean up.
It takes a small amount of effort, but it stops me from worrying quite so much about the catastrophic effect of having more than a decade of Gmail deleted...
Sounds fairly straightforward... for guys like us!
My mum or my sister couldn't do any of that stuff as they wouldn't know where to start.
As it happens, I use Outlook client on my laptop and desktop machines so I have a local copy of my emails should it all go to hell but I could still lose my primary email address.
As for Gmail... I would rather swallow my tongue than let them near my emails (not saying much considering I use Microsoft at the moment, I know) :)

Understood. I was one of the first adopters for Google Search and then Gmail, but my impression of Google was a lot different from what it is today.
The best I can do at the moment is distribute my eggs over many baskets, but I agree, that's not as simple as going all-in with one of the big cloud ecosystems.
It's flying off the shelves, had to vist three news outlets to find one! I got a spare one for a family member too, but if they change their mind I'll gladly post to a UK address.
The magazine is £5.99 every issue to buy so yes the included PI is free. Not only are you getting a PI but you're getting a magazine full of advice and tutorials for the computer they've included.
I used this site for a short time. It's a great idea but it was let down by the fact that most music videos have absurd rights restrictions which disallow embedding on third party sites. Never understood why music publishers would purposely limit the free marketing available to them.
"But two Democratic senators, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, have introduced a bill that would force the industry to seal off critical computers and add technology to stop hackers in real time."
Why do governments feel the need to dictate the little details? Instead of forcing all car manufacturers to secure cars in the exact same way how about just holding them liable for the consequences if a car is hacked? Car makers can then decide how best to secure the car which would lead to a more diverse and hopefully innovative security measures.
I fear the AI arms race may be inevitable. Even if all the nations could agree to place limits on AI research there will always be a huge incentive to develop something in secret.
