This doesn't seem like particularly new tech, just a tweak on what the automotive industry has been using for several dacades.
I can tell you were desperate to comment without actually looking at the video. There are no rails. This is the exact opposite of the automotive industry where the part being worked on goes to the robot, not the other way around.
Please do everyone a favour and every so often educate yourself before posting.
This has literally been the case now for 40 years, and yet the open source movement is stronger than ever. So why now? Also charging for access? Stallman will rip your balls off.
They run as a rectangular banner at the bottom â" part of a widget that also shows news, the weather and a calendar.
Don't care. If your shit shows me ads, it's not getting into my kitchen. Note to self: Don't buy appliances from Samsung anymore.
Yes, I am vocal in how much I hate ads. I believe the CEOs of advertising companies should get one hit with a stick for every time their ad bothered someone even in the slightest.
Exactly what I'm saying.
The fact that users and enterprise customers are not demanding better software from Microsoft with the same fervor their ancestors demanded that the witch be burnt speaks volumes.
And I'm specifically talking about operating systems here. Software can crash for all I care. I'm fine software quality being all over the place, the market can sort that out. But operating systems are natural monopolies and the foundation for everything else. We should not accept shoddy quality there.
He came to see innovation arising not from like-minded or similarly trained people conversing with each other, but from a friction of ideas and approaches. It meant hiring researchers who had different personalities and favored a range of experimental angles.
Intellectual diversity makes for better teams.
Why should this be surprising?
It's not. There's nothing about news which requires it to be a surprise. Why do you think anyone finds it surprising? TFS and TFA don't. The only surprise was the cancellation of SORA which very much came out of nowhere.
Altman and co. are dealing in investments of 10s and 100s of billions of dollars. Disney comes to the table with $1B and expects what, exactly? That OpenAI will be the firewall that protects Disney from AI predation? LOL. Disney will need to 10x or 100x that number at least, and they're still going to lose.
This isn't just AI. Since launch $100 would be accounted for due to inflation alone. Add to that Trump's tariff war which would have added over $100, and then add AI on top of that, and AI looks like the least of the actual contribution to price rise (it's not, to be clear AI = bad and hardware prices are out of control).
Also reminder that there's no connection between hardware price, and time in the console war. Consoles have never been priced according to hardware prices as (other than Nintendo) everyone else produced them as a loss leader to sell games. The idea that console prices go down over time caught COVID and died.
In the current politico-economic environment in the US Valve has committed as recently as 2 weeks ago that it will be brought to the market this year.
At this point though it's a matter of faith, I agree it is at risk, but right now Valve has shown they are still committed.
He clearly meant morally
If he clearly meant morally he would have used the word morally. He didn't clearly mean anything. He wrote an ambiguous statement to be interpreted in a number of ways. If that wasn't the intention then he fucked up.
Frankly, you are a coward for avoiding his meaning.
Frankly you're an idiot for making assumptions, and an arsehole for labelling those who disagree with your assumptions. Be a better person.
This isn't subservience. Subservience is the end user adopting something optional. It's no different than seeing two different downloads on websites in the early 00s when encryption was export controlled. The GP fundamentally screwed up due to not understanding how and why something was failed. The optional inclusion of something in a software does not help support nor defeat any legislation. That is up to adoption of the end users.
I pride myself on downloading the "US version" of software back in the day. Stick it to the man, showing that despite legal avenues I am in fact a rebel. The same applies here. Adopt Systemd with all it's age verification goodness and then demonstrate to the world how you give it the middle finger ignoring the field.
You know why encryption is legal despite Bush and Clinton's best attempts to prevent it?
Because Gen-X kids risked a decade in jail for breaking Federal law to ensure the code got out there and everyone had it.
There's a very big difference in approach here and specifically about *who* was responsible for doing something. Encryption wasn't illegal, it was subject to export controls. The onus was exclusively on those exporting a product, and that fundamentally fails in the world of the internet.
It's fun to think that some open source coders standing their ground ended this, but the reality is it was big corporations. Those who offered "US version" and "International version" downloads on the same website. The "Here's a complaint one, pretty please use it" approach to adopting the law. This change here in Systemd is very much along the same lines: An entirely optional field. You want to be a rebel end user, don't use it. You want to be a large corporation who actually has legal departments that would otherwise ban the product from being used internally? Do use it.
These have always been about maximising availability while minimising risk. Gen-X rebels didn't kill the encryption debate. The entire concept of an internet which knows no borders did.
there would be some kind of source available so you could compile your own fridgeos and avoid their spy/ad ware.
Someone else already pointed out the fridge is running Linux but you missed some other crucial fact. No the fact that something is open source doesn't not impart you magic powers to do what you want with ease. This is not a computer that you slot an SSD into, change some UEFI settings and watch it boot to a FDE (Fridge Desktop Environment). You can't just throw a memory stick in to boot from your fancy custom distro and click an install button.
This is an embedded system. Changing the OS on an embedded system will require you to either be blessed to have a vendor management interface exposed (and hope it's non proprietary and not password protected), or required probing and accessing certain areas of a circuit board. End users won't do that.
My TV runs Linux as well, yet I have ZERO way to install something custom on it without completely disassembling it and getting out a soldering iron since the initial firmware was baked in during production.
Yeah Android could do that in theory, but in order to do that you'd need some very deep integration with Android Auto and the car system so that the interface is unified. I'm not sure anyone would go to the effort of doing so since 99% of that effort is the same as implementing Android Automotive, which at that point... why would they make their own system and implement their own API when they can outsource it?
WRT controls I agree. Buttons need to exist (and they do on my car too). But my demand here is to have functional options. Fun fact the small space in the car means that a HVAC system is fundamentally able to control the environment to a tighter tolerance. There's less lag time, etc. The reason I prefer voice control for my HVAC system is that I probably change a setting maybe once every few months and as such haven't even bothered committing to memory where those buttons on the dash are. The system just regulates the temperature that well that summer / winter the car is just comfortable. The only time I touch it is if I do something weird like have thermals on when I get in the car and can't cope with the temperature it's set at all the time.
For functions used very infrequently, voice control is superior. I can do things without taking my eyes off the road.
Science may someday discover what faith has always known.
