As much as I like to live in your fantasy world, the reality is pointing to singular incidents doesn't help. If what you said was remotely relevant the war would have been over as soon as we hoped. Unfortunately in the real world it seems Russia is perfectly capable of manufacturing.

Sorry, I really really want to get behind your delusion. I too would love to think that Russia only exists because of the brilliance of the people they are attacking, but there's just zero evidence to back that up, and plenty of evidence against it.

Oh yeah this debunked bullshit. Sorry but literally everyone was doing "unsafe and insecure things" because that is how modern highly optimised CPUs are designed. AMD, Intel, and ARM have all been hit with a variety of these lab-only "exploits".

The fact that you need to dig back to that ol' chestnut shows you've really not paid any attention in the industry for the past decade. Intel has done so much shit, and the only thing you fall back on is the one thing they actually didn't do badly / differently from anyone else.

CEOs don't engineer (nor do you want them to). Their job is to fund engineering and put in place management to ensure engineers are able to work at their best. Under Geisinger's time Intel massively increased it's engineering workforce, restructured the entire management chain, and ultimately looks like he brought the company on plan to deliver 18A.

I'm really not sure what you're complaining about here.

Intel wasn't asking for a bail-out, never has. Intel was asking for a hand-out. There's a difference. It's a CEO's job to source money. If the government is willing to provide it then it's your job to lobby for it.

Intel's staff count increased by close to 10% in 2021 and 10% again in 2022. They went on a massive hiring spree. Gee, maybe you should have done a quick Google before looking like an idiot.

It would be if your firmware update addressed a safety issue on your phone or laptop.

E.g. The Google Pixel 4a was very much subject to a "recall" for a firmware update.
Here's the UK government on that phone: https://www.gov.uk/product-saf...
Here's the Australian government on that phone: https://www.productsafety.gov....
Apparently the CPSC didn't give a shit in the USA, but Google still sent out a recall notice to all Pixel 4a owners.

A recall is pretty easy to execute when for the most part it is a 15min job by a ground technician while the cleaning crew is on the plane. Also most of the world wasn't on holiday this week.

That's not context. That's a conspiracy spurred by a coincidence. Airbus has addressed multiple hardware issues since 2009 for a variety of issues. There's zero evidence that this is out of the ordinary, especially since for the most part it was a simple software update for the majority of their produced fleet that is quick and easy to apply meaning it doesn't make sense not to do it under any context.

The only person who will get a message is you, one from the police and the courts for sabotage / damage of property.

I'm not sure why you think vigilante justice will work out in anyone's favour other than the group being targeted. Are you new to planet earth?

Who said law? Just because the city votes to consider you a public nuisance doesn't mean you've broken the law, especially when your activity was originally granted a permit for operation.

All the city has done is sent a letter. Waymo is free not to comply. If they don't the city will need to actually take legal action and convince a judge that their opinion is worth more than the permit granted for them to operate before any "law" is in effect.

Sure, when you live in a parallel dimension you may think they are louder than a regular car. Unfortunately not at all on planet earth.

Except they objectively do make sense and improve safety. The fact that there's unintended consequences at a heavily congested charging station doesn't change that. Though this is America we're talking about, I'm surprised pedestrian safety ranks anywhere at all on the Fucks-To-Give scale.

This isn't from their lower tier plans. This is from all their plans. Just like the inability to download content using the Windows app. It's a steaming turd regardless of how much you want to pay.

That's fine, they'll be blocked after a week for not being the primary owner's address... assuming you successfully sign in on a device not on your network in the first place.

The QA/QC team are probably like me legitimately asking "there's a button"?

No I'm serious... I haven't seen a logon button since Windows XP. I mean I'm sure it's there, but who doesn't just type in their password / pin and then hit enter?

Yes that is a perfectly sane assumption. Assume that just because only one factor built something 50 years ago that that is still the case now. Yep. Makes perfect sense. Which company's strategy team do you work for? Asking for someone who likes shorting stock...
