Sure QNX is more flexible. And certainly more suited to motor control.
But my point is Android is more powerfull, and "cheap enough" for infotaintment. Paying something like $10[1] for Android (including HW) is cheaper than developing a simple UI, unless the car is assumed to sell tens of millions.

Last time I checked a commercial RTOS prices they were really huge and every single extra (audio, video, bluetooth, wifi, TCP/IP, ...) would cost more. Even then, if you would like something like wifi-hotspot it seemed you'd have to buy it from 3rd party or develop it.

[1] For example AliExpress has RK3066 sticks for around $20 - single quantity. Although it is low end and a bit outdated, it is capable of HD video.

I wonder if it is really true. I'd assume that full fledged OS with all the stuff included would be better infotaintment system than QNX.
As I do not know which version of "Windows" they use, suppose they used Android. Now they would get, for free without any development costs or time, bluetooth, wifi, 3G, UI, development tools, etc. The system would work as a bluetooth handsfree[1]. The system would, with a SIM, work as a wifi-hotspot. You would get Google Maps, i.e. navigation. Games from Play store. Etc, for free (or the price of Android if they want maps&play).

With QNX, what do they get?

[1] I assume Android can work as a bluetooth "device", not only as a "host".

Show one news article where some airport security has caught a terrorist. You calling it "bullshit" won't make it so.

First, it is a matter of definition whether Palestinians are terrorist or freedom fighters, after all Israel does occupy, illegally, Palestinian land.
Second, airport security ("TSA") has not caught any. Or name one.

WTF?

All the "TSA's" of the world have cought exactly zero terrorists.
Can you make same claim about sprinklers, smoke detectors, insurances, airbags? Even USA wide? Even in your city? Your block?

Yes there is. The record company has "producers".
The producers ensure that the music does not annoy anyone[1], is de-s'd, autotuned, limited, compressed, and what not to sound exactly same as everybody else.

Imagine what music would be without aforementioned professionals! It might sound interesting, for god's sake!

[1] The worst that can happen to a radio station is listeners to change the station. Sounding annoying or being (too) different is sure way to do it.

In essense, good managers work for the engineers, bad managers work for upper management.

Vaccinations ... Finland is in trouble. One (Pig Flu 2009) vaccination provably caused several cases (more than ten) of narcolepsia.
Now, understandably, people are frightened to get any vaccinations, especially for Pig flu. Unfortunately totally unrelated vaccinations (MMR, HPV) are also opposed.

Yes.

Still no alternative gives virtual screen bigger than real screen (scroll when mouse hits edge). Or windows occupying more than one desktop (e.g. top left part in "1", bottom right in "4").
Unfortunatelu tvtwm, last time I checked, was lacking too much.

And what would be the "government" in Somalia? Not that I believe you at all.

In my previous job I had quite a nice laptop. Except one thing ... I quite often needed to process multigigabyte files (situation was made worse by an anti-virus). So I asked for an upgrade, an SSD. They proposed to replace the whole machine with a new one, without SSD. I, of course, declined, it would not help at all.

One size does fit all, albeit sometimes very badly. Besides, they do not care, they just provide what is decided (by those who do not understand my problems).

Hey give me a break! Yuo can pre-propose pretty much anything! Thera are huge amont on idiotic pre-proposals!
They always die before getting near "to be voted" stage.

This is a good thing (that you can try to get different things to be voted on)!

Define "OO techniques". In C you just cannot use inheritance in any usefull way. IMHO inheritance is the most important aspect of OO.

Even if we do, whan on earth makes you think Wayland is even a bit better?

I do not believe that (things are getting better).
I would be really surprised if the real number of holes is going down significantly, the developers are making holes at the same time as these guys are finding them. Perhaps this temporarily gets the hole count down, but after five years the situation will be the same.

The OSS "mind" has been, for 20 years, "a fixed hole is a good thing". Why on earth would it suddenly change to "do not make new holes"?
