Right. Good salespeople listen to customers, not try to sell them something they a) don’t need or b) won’t work as advertised.

They were on the path of self driving cars till Musk pulled the plug on the LiDAR and opted for cameras (cost less). He is directly responsible for why autopilot isn’t so auto.

Hate to break it to you Indonesia but you have zero clout in this relationship. I don’t think Google nor Apple care.

So Lada quality. Got it.

In many industries hiring for attitude over aptitude is the key to true success. Just wished that was what most did.

I mean, there are all kinds of creatures in the soil, why not under the sea floor? We’ve known about fish, etc hiding in it as it is. This isn’t that much of a stretch. Very cool to actually see it though.

It completely ignores them in the first stage (drawbridge is stationary instead of going up to close).

That article is just plain hard to read with all the bold text.

This definitely smells of Qualcomm being cheap. It’s got to be so bad that Arm has finally had enough. Wild.

I’ve never thought of APFS as slow. Didn’t realize it was.

About $22 currently plus shipping.

That’s why it’s still being used. Not a major reason to move on for MS.

Sad to see APFS not on the list (I know why, just wanted to compare).

I don’t count ME, that was basically 98SE as a hot garbage patch. I’ll concede on 98SE, that was the best of that kernel and I do have found memories of it in the good old Unreal (not engine) days.

Also realize that I HATE Windows. Too much legacy that no one allows them to dump and then complains that it’s got a bad UI. Personally, my favorite is 11. I’m a macOS/*nix lover but I’m forced to use 11 at work. I appreciate Microsoft unifying the UI into something that doesn’t look and work like a decade old system. But then it still has problems like system search being abysmal, the registry still getting clogged with garbage, wake from sleep being 10 seconds or more long (even on high end equipment). It’s just, ancient at this point. There’s no good reason our personal devices give a much better experience these days.

From Oxford Languages (what Google uses):

late 19th century: coined in German from dys- ‘difficult’ + Greek lexis ‘speech’ (apparently by confusion of Greek legein ‘to speak’ and Latin legere ‘to read’).

Anything past 98 was/is NT. My point is NT’s kernel is actually quite good, it’s the rest that people complain about.

The connectivity doesn’t work that well anyway. I don’t give a crap about remote start and climate control but my wife uses it when it’s super cold out and only at work. Not worth paying for at all, even from her POV. The car (CX-90 PHEV) is still fantastic to drive.

Anyone who says NT was ever bad is out of their mind. That was the thing that saved Windows since 95’s kernel wasn’t modern. Anything that crashed took the entire system down. Yeah, that was fun times kiddos.

I start having pleasant auditory hallucinations. I’m also very susceptible to delta waves like white noise putting me to sleep. Might go together. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oof.
