The study, which is yet to be peer reviewed
Given the topic, this struck me as an amusing qualifier. Based on the paper's conclusion, said paper should sail through the peer review process with flying colors, given it's probably citing EVERYONE!
a one-time £649 "lifetime" fee that is tied to the car, not you. If you sell it, you have to pay again.
Summary is unclear. The article also notes that Volkswagen did not clarify whether the upgrade is tied to your account or to the car.
If it's to the car, then....*shrug*. If it's to the user...I guess it depends one whether that upgrade is applicable to future cars (seems unlikely).
What I would fear would be treating it like certain console games where you could sell the game disc but certain features (included DLC, content, or w/e) would be tied to a one-time code that came with the game and the purchaser would have to buy a replacement code from the publisher. They can fuck right off with that bullshit.
When you move a file to a non-existent directory in Windows, it renames the file to the destination name instead of moving it.
This is true when the parameters are ambiguous. Assuming the command issued was something along the lines of "move foo bar", an incredibly simple trick is to append a backslash change it to "move foo bar\". The command would return an error about not finding the specified path.
Also, don't force overwrites with "/y" when you aren't planning to overwrite data. Of course, the "AI" could just as easily have been running it interactively and just bulled its way through the unexpected results.
They should have asked the AI to help them design these computers for gaming.
On a somewhat related note, the current state of AMD64 -> ARM64 in Windows 11 seems pretty decent, at least for some basic use cases. I had a client who wanted to run a piece of Windows-only software on their new MacBook M3. Originally, I tried the app a Windows 7 VM using x86 emulation, and it was trash. Not unexpected, but had hoped it wouldn't be quite that bad. Loaded Win11 ARM in a VM, instead, and it ran the x86 app just fine.
In computing, the mean time to failure keeps getting shorter.
