The video only shows the personal drone portion of this "Flying Car". Also, the headline states production and then the article immediately shifts to trial production. Technology headlines are so full of this type of bait and switch. It just reminds me of the $500 a month humanoid robot that turns out to be remotely controlled.

He hasn't figured out that the company is pricing him out because they don't want him as a customer. If the schools are public shouldn't they use public software?

This is what you should be paying attention to. Thank you

I guess I never realized how different Xubuntu is from Ubuntu. I switched over around 18.04, maybe earlier. There are some programs I have tried out as Snaps but nothing that I ever leave installed. I've heard people complain about them but just never used them long enough for their "suck" to effect me. A few years back I installed NextCloud from a snap just to play around with it. The admin for the MakerSpace here warned me about doing so but I don't remember it being a problem other then it being behind the release cycle. It didn't get used so that might be the only reason it wasn't a problem.

I am with KGill on this one. As a general rule I try to do a clean install for any new OS version but especially with Ubuntu 20.04 over 18.04. The fact that Canonical sticks to their release and support schedule makes it the most convenient option for me. I am using Fedora as a video editing machine only because I wanted to try DaVinci Resolve and that install process looked easier on Fedora. I had trouble getting the free license Resolve to recognize my video files and ended up using Kdenlive instead.

So they want to make tge software open source to help the custmer. That is great. However, I dont understand why they cant make that update a torrent before their servers go offline.

Why aren't medical device companies required to open source their devices in the event of bankruptcy?

If you have ever seen an aircraft cockpit you know how many electronic systems they have. That is because everything has a backup, often more than one. Why is it that CloudStrike didn't give their customers a backup kernel? This is not a weird concept to anyone using a Linux distribution. Why is it unheard of for Microsoft and Apple customers? A choice of kernels is presented as part of the boot process on all of my personal computers. Because of CloudStrike's role in this failure, I think that company should have been the one creating a backup option for their customers of a kernel option. A simple Linux boot disk would have made any of the effected Windows computers usable until the software fix for Windows was complete. If I were their customer I would be demanding that they create a custom boot disk that can be used as a backup and be capable of preforming at least 80% of the tasks done in Windows.

They should really come up with a different term to talk about unaproved sharing.

Is open source the app code so the owners can create their own backend.

Just buy an older car that doesn't have that non-sense.

So, apparently auto braking is a thing but why isn't there something less intrusive like an automatic indicator that would display the appropriate following distance for different speeds and conditions? Lasers and sensors are not that expensive and aggressive drivers are easy to find. I would love to have a way to politely show other drivers the proper following distance. Of course for people that ignore polite suggestions, using methods that are less polite are understandable.
