Either way the artists usually get fucked. They get roughly dick from album sales too.

If you want them to get money, download their music, then go see them in concert. If you can find a show at a venue where Ticketmaster isn't eating it all, that is.

OK, but what about the authentically shoddy Cisco equipment?

You think your kids are going to care for you when you're old? I doubt they can stand to be around you at any age.

It makes you think that intelligent people like intelligent birds?

Vulkan works fine on Windows 7 with Nvidia, up to a certain version anyway when they stopped support. There is no technological reason why it couldn't continue working, only logistical.

That isn't what's happening. They're deciding what purposes the software is fit for. They aren't doing anything to actually prevent them doing it — They're not Apple — but they are stating that doing so is a violation of the license and therefore they can wash their hands of the liability.

China shined on WTO rules in nationalistically anticompetitive ways from day one. If you won't stand for it from Apple, why would you support it from China?

My first thought at the headline was "They're developing some licensing scheme for law enforcement that will be *MUCH* more expensive."

Agreed. That was my first thought too. My second thought was that they're saying, "Don't use the public interface! It logs everything. Here, use this special LEO interface that doesn't leave a paper trail."

Careful, if you can't spell then your salary may be reduced below fifty cents.

Both things are converging on the same point, an inadequately cooled shiny slab with ARM cores that are crippled by a case design that doesn't adequately radiate heat and a battery that doesn't last the useful life of the device.

" This is outside Microsoft's decision making IMHO"

It isn't.

Dollars to doughnuts that this is however just a ploy to get more money.

reducing harmful outputs and promoting safety

But why would I want to use a hamstrung AI?

Facts could upset me if they were upsetting facts, but you're not working with any so the question is irrelevant.

Making the radio easily replaceable means requiring a specific form factor. But the trend has been towards devices with big screens and little depth, freeing up a considerable space behind the dash front and center. This makes it much easier to design the HVAC system.

"Consider the $10,000 deposit laws.. If you deposit $10,000 in cash, the bank has to report it to the IRS. Try depositing $9,999..... You think the IRS is going to remain blind to this?"

The law also explicitly calls out "structuring" transactions to avoid these transactions that will go over the reporting amounts.
