Considering how Apple has been been progressing this seems like a desperate move by Intel. They are throwing out FUD in hopes that Apple will cave. However, if TSMC goes dark then everyone is fucked. Trump isn't going to be in power much longer, so that's a not a winning argument either. I'm telling you, this smacks of desperation.
Everything depends on balance. If things become too unbalanced then not even a militarized police force can save you from an angry mob.
Besides, violence is stupid when there are such better ways to approach the problem.
This is a problem that solves itself. If VMware isn't in your price range then STOP USING IT. Problem solved.
As a result, the district's migration from VMware is taking IT resources from other projects
THEN STOP USING IT!
It could be a chokehold, essentially, to where they're going to be basically forced into switching platforms
Why would you wait to be forced when you can simply make the transition on your own terms right now? STOP USING IT!
The funny thing is that companies expect IT admins to be super flexible and learn new systems as needed but it seems these people who are teaching it are unwilling to adapt.
Nobody's benefiting from the higher prices on the education side.
THEN STOP USING IT!
What the hell is wrong with this guy?! He knows the answer but he seems to be fighting tooth an nail to keep from recognizing that the school district should stop using VMware products!
These people want to be trillionaires and you're in their way.
Well, I hope they are as delicious as they are greedy because not everyone going to simply starve to death to enable their greed.
Most of europe and the middle east would find you unnecessarily cold and weird.
So... no change, eh?
That's only if you see the main cast as the good guys...
Yeah, I'm sure Libertarians see the Goa'uld as merely minding their own business when a group of "law breakers" started messing up their operations. A very "what business is it of Earth's to disrupt their societies" approach, while completely disregards the fact that they were all genocidal tyrants that enslaved people as they saw fit.
Wasn't [Stargate] about false gods?
As I recall, it was about killing false gods.
Seriously, what is the point of this?
I came up with the following hypotheses:
If it's none of these then I'm also at a loss.
The CPU and the wireless chip are probably soldered to the PCB and not replaceable, so easiest thing will be to just replace the whole computer.
You would think companies would learn to make electronics that are more modular but they can't seem to help themselves and keep over-optimizing for cost. Yes, this does improve mechanical reliability but PC/104 connectors are so reliable that it's used for satellites.
Tesla had that with early model computers, where excessive logging would wear the flash memory out in a few years and brick the car.
Ha! I remember that. If I recall correctly, they left on some (kernel?) debugging and it basically turned the computer into an eMMC flash memory wear tester, another simple but expensive mistake.
The problems are not just software. They have some actual hardware problems as well with reports of screens randomly dying and needing to be replaced.
OK, that explains it a bit more because I know it's easier/cheaper to make a single platform than make two. However, the summary makes it seem like this is a total redesign (with a new software stack) rather than merely fixing what was broken. New hardware is good, entirely new bugs is less good.
What behaviour? At no point are they dropping support. In fact this is the opposite, they are upgrading hardware and continuing to support and making support easier for them without expense to you.
This is my fault, I misread "replace the central computer of every 2025 EX90 with the new one from the 2026 EX90" as "replace the central computer of every 2025 EX90 with the new one in the 2026 EX90" which implies they simply moved on.
I've grown far too accustomed to seeing hardware manufacturers abandoning products the moment they've sold them and it's good to see Volvo actually making it right. However, I hope Volvo provided the option to disable anything that wasn't part of the original purchase as it may be undesirable/buggy.
Well, as a computer scientist, I tell you plainly that there is nothing to forgive because you are technically correct, the best kind of correct. I will take note of this to avoid the same error in the future.
It's a tacit admission [...] that it's easier to replace the original computer than to build bug-free software for it.
How the hell is replacing the computer going to do anything to fix anything at all?
I see it as simply dropping 100% of software support and then moving onto the next model. This is exactly the kind of shitty corporate behavior that made me avoid getting an over-engineered and under-tested computer car.
How long until a publisher starts allowing AI submissions and then this marketplace gets flooded?
For just $2/month you can use Private Internet Access (PIA) as a VPN and not have to worry about nastygrams from your ISP. It's use OpenVPN or WireGuard and has even has an open source client. https://www.privateinternetacc...
Liquid cooling has been around forever but what matters a lot is how often it fails and how. If this was a silver bullet then MS wouldn't be spilling the beans but rather, promoting that the benefits of their secret technology and that you should invest in them. There is no benefit to them sharing this information which leads me to believe it's another pipe dream.
