I wouldn't, but I can imagine people willingly pay for OnStar.

It doesn't feel as dirty since it isn't just all sitting there. It reaches out to the cellular network. I can imagine people getting decent value for remote start that works in parking garages, and the accident help (people worry).

It doesn't feel like a subscription for a seat heater or super cruise which are both already there.

Hopefully, MS will keep giving W10ers ESU past 2027. I doubt it though.

Or something more powerful: Electrical shocks, release angry bees and ants, etc. /s

I'm not sure why lane keeping requires and automatic, it seems to me turning the wheel would be fine.

My manual does fine for emergency braking (though it's a little touchy when someone in front of me is turning or if I'm accelerating to speeding under 20mph). I feel like if the emergency brake slows me down so much I need to shift the problem is me, not the manual (it hasn't over the last 10k miles I've had the car).

It'll certainly never self drive, and is useless for stop and go traffic cruise control (20-60mph heavy traffic is fine).

The higher end performance is shifting towards dual clutch since it's objectively better for performance.

The economy cars are getting automatics to simplify production lines now that automatics are basically the same cost to make and essentially as efficient as manuals.

So the only manuals getting made are in the budget low tech sportscar market where people aren't going for performance, but fun on a budget.

Not just MS' servers. ANYWHERE online.

we're about to buy a $2400 m4 pro mac mini to grind away at a useful but low-medium priority task in perpetuity using one of the qwen 3.6 models. The ROI vs haiku api cost is less than 5 months. SOTA models are cool but a quantized 30B class model can do most any batched work if structured carefully, and you have a fairly flexible failure budget

The big issue is GDDR6 memory which is pretty new and there's not a ton of capacity already, and it's all been bought out through the end of 2028. Plants take 3 years to come online and are expensive (Read: risky) to build if the demand falls off
 
I would love to be able to buy a 4TB GDDR7 machine and never have to use cloud services again, but it's not happening before 2035

What does Afghanistan have to do with any of the "Gulf War"s?

The first two were Iraq, the third is Iran.

I may want to use the code modified and not share my modifications. The GPL prevents this.

Aside from the corner case of libraries incrementing proposed standards I think this is a plus, but it certainly is a restriction that a copy left license has and a BSD/MIT one doesn't.

You're right. It's the BSD part of the name that is the clue, not the Free part.

At least in the past "Free" was the copy lefted part of OSS software, with many OSS puriwta believing a BSD type licence was more Free as others thought it was less so.

Wasn't the advertising clause determined to be non free and long since removed?

Move further south, I guess. The rest of the country is much warmer, more livable, and doesn't freeze solid for three months out of the year. The fact that you have to change your clocks twice a year to cope with it isn't my problem.
