Comment Re:Arduino "commitment to open-source is unwaverin (Score 1) 45

The point is that history is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if he was the sole creator of Arduino and the one who sold it to Qualcom. The only thing that matters is that Qualcom owns it now which means the only people with insider knowledge of qhat happens next are Qualcom employees, all absolutely definitely under NDA.

Baffling "defense here". None of what you knew or said matters: the point of the story is they have been bought by Qualcom, a company with a well earned reputation and history of what they do to acquisitions. Do you have some relevant and timely information to contribute or just irrelevant history?

Comment Gen Z grew up using content consumption devices (Score 1) 97

80 year olds didn't grow up with computers, and a lot of them never adapted. We know this, easy answer. Gen Z also did not really "grow up with computers" in the way most of us here did: they grew up using content consumption devices like phones. Gen Z by and large don't even know how a filesystem works because of this. It's worse for them than the 80s year olds because at least the old people remember the thing a file system is based on and know how drawers and folders work.

So it's really not a surprise that there is yet another way in which they aren't very good with "computers". They also don't care, likely beause most of these account aren't something to care about.

They wouldn't have needed to renegotiate because they would have had equity if the lending standards weren't so lax. Remeber: the securitization turned into it's own business that required more inputs (mortgages) so the lending stnadards were reduced. If the lending standard weren't reduced the houses would have mostly been worth more than what was owed on them or these low/no down payment products wouldn't have gone to people to who were "judgement proof".

This is another post from someone who doesn't know what's happening in China.

They are in the midst of an accounting scandal and financal fraud by EV manufacturers that are overproducing and claiming "sales" of vehicles that are not sold, but merely delivered to dealers who then sell these new cars as "used". If you're paying attention you've seen these tactics before.

Stop laundering your feelings and ideology as facts when they clearly aren't.

They are absolutely dumping cars. Try reading more news from China before commenting on what they are or are not doing (hint: it's heading towards and accounting scandal where EV manufacturers are climing "sales" as they ship undols cars to dealerships which are then being sold as "used" with 0 miles on them - this is typical Chinese corruption that we've all seen before). The rest of your post is completely irrelevant to the story at hand.
