It was the Czech person who first combined the Czech/Latin prefix, the Latin stem and the Czech/Slavic suffix in a decidedly Czech sentence.

You said one yourself. Nobody would say it because there's already a better way to say that, but everybody would understand the meaning and the grammar is fine.

The prefix de- is not used only in loanwords, you can construct new words with it just fine. It doesn't sound right in your example but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.

But the Samsung Galaxy S22 is a comparable phone to iPhone.

The prefix de- is used in Czech normally since forever and to this day (originally Latin though), the stem fenestra is Latin (not normally used in Czech), and the suffix -ace is Czech (Slavic origin).
BTW the quote you posted says the first usage in English language was in reference to the Czech text which actually coined it (thus the English text adopted it), not that it's English in origin.

It also takes much more time even in the perfect case. And since trains are frequently delayed, and trains of different companies don't wait for each other, sometimes you sleep in front of the railway station (the police will expell you from the building if you sleep there, and they close it for the night...).
I really like trains - I mean the physical thing itself. I also like the concept of train travel in theory. But I fucking hate everything about trains in actual reality.
I tried to go carless for 2 years, but it's impossible even at the place with supposedly best public transit infrastructure of the world. It's kinda doable if you have a lot of time to waste, don't need to be somewhere on time, have a lot of money to spare, don't travel a lot and only travel between major cities or inside a small region. It was okay-ish when I was a student. Any other case, like 2 working adults with no time to spare trying to visit family and then go back to work - impossible.

> but at least it means that I have a recourse if something goes wrong
Have you actually tried it out? I lost several domains through no fault of mine (2 times fault of registrar, 1 time fault of national TLD manager) and absolutely nobody helped me. Even tried suing - in 2 cases (the registrar fault) I got small monetary compensation for lost profit (so good luck with personal domains) but the domain was always lost forever. And when it was the TLD's fault I got nothing whatsoever.

Sure, it's not on the most visited homepages of the world - but it hardly went away. Even on the most visited homepage it's just few clicks away.

And there's a lot of system around here in EU. Applies to healthcare, social care/security and of course police as well.
