I'm surprised they haven't found a way to make the glasses opaque or to force you to watch ads when not on their subscription tier. When no one wants to pay for new features, the next step to enshittification is to charge them to access the old.

"The market will regulate itself"

Market shifts towards more competitive Chinese offerings

"No, not like that!"

Win stupid prizes

Now do over 16s next.

It's also ridiculously shortsighted. AI tools are great for some things, not so great for others. Most of the issues I would say are now largely process based. Legitimate bug reports/fixes are fine, so long as they have been reviewed by someone and the "bug" actually exists and isn't just hallucinated garbage. Also using LLMs as a targeted coding aid for an existing/competent developer using it as an extension of their own workflow should not really be an issue. Where the big issue and the massive waste of time for everyone comes in is when you have inexperienced/incompetent developers who would normally be submitting 1-line cosmetic fixes to get their name in the release notes are now submitting things they don't understand and are certainly in no place to evaluate. There's a huge difference between "here's a critical bug fix that was discovered and validated" and "here's a random 50k LOC subsystem I've just crapped out and have no idea how it works - evaluate it for me".

Some never grow up either. That baby still tries to sue for royalties all the time.

Even before clicking that link I knew he wasn't going to be white.

Wingdings would be keeping more in line with the current administration anyways

For that sort of wasteful spending I'd make an intentionally bad website that is sure to require additional funding and more billable hours just to bring it back to how it already was. Doing a good job within a reasonable agreed-upon budget is the worst possible way to make money as a consultant.

As a browser, yes. Now it's just a Chinese company trying to push a shit Chromium fork. Though to be fair, they hardly had any meaningful market share before either.

Because it's not so much an issue for the direct suppliers as it is for the rest of their supply chain. GM buys from Tier 1s who integrate components from Tier 2s - finding Tier 2s that are not Chinese is not too complicated, but the problem comes when you want to trace the entire supply chain from Tier 2 to Tier N (down to raw materials) and force the Tier 2s to diversify. IOW, it's not people like Amphenol/Molex/Rosenberger that are the issue, but their respective supply chains. In many cases the Tier 2s don't have end-to-end supply chain traceability at all, in others they are stuck in NDAs with their own suppliers which they can't kick back up to the next Tier, etc. They can certainly lean on the Tier 2s to find non-Chinese sources down to Tier N for better supply chain resiliency, but it will be a slow, iterative, and costly process. It's also not clear what the final BOM delta will look like, and whether this even leaves them with a margin that they can actionably go to market on. Full disclosure: I work for a large Tier 1 that is currently involved in these discussions.

I don't know why they can't just put more money into making a browser that isn't crap. This would seem to be easier than trying to pay people to use a garbage browser.

I only knew of Bixby as the Oracle interconnect. I wonder how Samsung has avoided getting sued, as the Nice classifications in their trademark filing do overlap to some extent.

"How can we make shipping slower, more expensive, and less reliable?"

Well, hopefully they've built in a grill or something so you can violently marinade and cook up some lovely sea creatures.
