Chances are that, when the GPS satellite is bouncing in the urban canyon, the Galileo one is in the zenit. And if you live in many countries where geopolitics are an aftertought, you can use GPS, Galileo, Glonass, and beidu, all at the same time. what's not to like?

Polish scientists have been doing this since 2018, probably there are even older efforts:

You combine that with cell tower location data, which is cheap, and Robert's your uncle.

Is not like Tesla can renege on the contract with a studio as small as disney, you know?

That would lead to very bad press.

There are local news and weather alerts on pirate sites?!?!

Colour me surprised!

OtA TV (be it ATSC, ISDB-b, DVB or the chinese standard) has its uses, even in 2025...

Imagine a mandate to retrieve these 50 pieces, and you get planetes IRL.

If someone wanted an AI browser, they could take a FOSS browser plus a set of open weight models of their choice, and jerry-rig it for free, or, pay ~ $20 per month for the convenience of having it all pre-packaged.

Sadly, big players will offer AI browsers galore for free, and and this initiative will die.

Is a sad enshittifyed world

I've seen that movie. It was GitS:SAC 2nd Gig. The Tachikoma's brains lived in a satellite.

If Bezos brings Tachikomas to real life, even as delivery vehicles, with the brains in space... count me in!

I see you are a sensible smart person by keeping the OtA service. Many people forget it existas, and also forget that it is a good way to get things like local news, and programs that debut in the big four and get to the streamers the day after.

Their direct competitors also jumped head first in this fad, so, once the fad fades, comparatively speaking, microsoft will not be worse off compared to the competition.

What could REALLY hurt microsoft is that AI ends up NOT being a fad, and Micrsoft NOT being one of the top companies in the space.

Nadella does not need technical chops. What he will do is decide which tech initiatives will go forward, which will not, and how the resources will be allocated among them.

The guy has a decent track record on making those types of decitions.

Is that the CEO will lean more heavily into strategy and external relations, while the COO will lean more heavily into tacticas and, well, operations.

What I read into this is either the workload has become too much for Nadella alone, or, they are preparing some sort of succesion plan.

I came to find ladybird while searching for BSD licensed browsers. Having FOSS license diversity is good IMHO (I do not subscribe the "one lincense to rule them all" school of tought).

Also, aside from rendering engine diversity, ladybird has very interesting, new and stronger security concepts.

Too bad it is not really multiplatform, as windows is a second class citizen, compared to elementaryOS Twhere the project originated), BSD,MacOS and linux

Not that I care, i use MacOS,but stilll...

Looking forward to use and support it. Wish the team the best of luck

Mod parent up!

Couple that with the fact that many entry level CS jobs can be done remotely from lower cost countries, and you get this situation. Smart companies will keep hiring a few juniors as a hedge...

Most companies are not that smart.

that did a "primitive" version of this. Instead of propping them up, even infusing them with Open Weights AI if needed, Mozilla went with google...

I wonder if all the funding Google provided Mozilla had anything to do with it.

Then Again, firefox is still better than the alternatives (Multiplatform unlike Safari, less privacy intrusive unlike Chrome, independent Rendering engines, unlike Chromium based browsers)

Can't wait for LadyBird to arrive.

Why on earth Amazon is using the Linux kernel for a propiertary OS?
Go the Sony and Nintendo route and use *BSD

- If you want to keep the development fully open you can do so.
- If you decided to keep the code and development fully open, but something/someone somewhere along the chain prevented the code from being released, no drama.
- If you want to contribute money and code Upstream but not open your code, you can do so too.
- If you want to be a jackass, take the PR hit, and leach, taking the code, but not opening it AND not contributing money or code upstream, you can do that too...

More flexibility for the comapny.

And is not like you need broad driver and SoC support, as these are propiertary appliances. The subset of SoCs in the market that have adequate *BSD driver support is more than enough for all intents and purposes...
