It doesn't sound like you know much about or work on cars. You've dunning-kruger'd your way into demonstrating that.

There have been increasingly more updates for vehicles for powertrain and safety systems for years and it accelerated with connected services because they can now be pushed without bring a car into a dealership. It's very clear to everyone working in and around modern cars and has been confirmed by automotive sofware engineers that this is intentional and they are simply doing the bay area "we'll test it in prod and send otu updates" thing.

Thanks for demonstrating your vast ignorance on the topic though, it's such typical slashdot.

So do you or do you not understand that allowing tons of obscure code to be loaded dynamically (hint: modules) that you certainly don't need or want is a security risk? Meaning TFA solution, which addresses modeules, is a good methodology for many systems, especially servers?

Now I know this sounds crazy, but stick with me for a moment: How about we require car manufacturers to deliver finished products to customers? And how about we also require them to provide meaninful service and repair data along with the vehicles? No more connected services unless they are non-essential to the car and trivially switched off, removed or replaceable. So that means no more repeated software updates will be required.

This is comedy, right?

That is an incredibly simple problem domain. It's search engine level, not "AI" or AI.

Stop falling for hype.

I think you're thinking about the wrong decade. I have seen little of consequences or shame in the last 10 years.

Yeah, I'm gonna guess it's a lot more than double. My company's enterprise agreement with MS has Claude Opus 4.7 now at 15x token consumption. I bet that's approaching what it actually costs but still not quite it.

That just means our security was good. You little anecdote isn't actual data.

When has legality of actions stopped this administration in the past, specifically on creation of unpopular, protectionist (very communist market control) policies?

That's never how this works out. Water is cheaper than electricity for cooling so the more water you use the less you spend, whether that's literally just dumping water back into the sanitary sewer system or through evaporative chillers. In nearly every circumstance these facilities are doing the calculations to figure out which is cheapest and what they can get away with.

Trusing what comes out of Blackstone publicity persons mouth is painfully naieve in any context, bur especially so in light of the history of how these facilities operate.

I think it's a LOT less than zero sum in favor of the market makers who are close enough to the house in this context that it's a difference without a distinction.

You're replying to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. The platforms and other large trading houses are market making on these platforms. So that's how the first bet is made and it's very much not zero sum.

It is not zero sum. The usual suspects are market making as well at the platforms themselves. This is a critically important fact to know if you're trying to reason about how this all works.

No, they won't. The small percentage of people losing the most money are credulous morons and gambling addicts who think they have "a system" or some other kind of edge and just need one more to hit the big one.

That's comepletely unnecessary. Before theorycrafting perhaps learn the problem domain.

You can print directly to these printers, even using bambu software, if you have the right firmware level and software, all from Bambu. Because they're not trustworthy you can ditch the Bambu slicer and use their proxy software to print directly to the printer from another slicer. But that's still their junk software that may autoupdate and stop allowing you to do that. So those of us who bought these things before they went off the deep end are running custom firmware with the printer blocked from accessing the internet and printing directly to them using orcaslicer.

The problem is not "no cloud".
