I wonder what money they make from Apple and Google, because Android Auto works fine in my MX-30.
As for the rest of the controls, I don't mind using the control knob instead of touchscreen. One less screen to keep clean from smudges I guess.
I disagree. Are you ready to make a real difference and
Euthanise those over 50 (me!) and move on to Star Trek utopia/UBI.
are also a Schengen member giving them another 24 countries they could move to.
Travel to without a visa - yes.
Move to - I don't think so!
Microsoft has Copilot, Waymo has Backseat Driver.
They can over supply electricity, have excess capacity for building stuff, can reallocate resources as they deem fit. If one part fails or falls short, some other part will offer redundancy.
This article will end up having a long thread about whether China is more Communist, Socialist or Capitalist and nobody will admit that the effectiveness of their planned economy is more relevant that such distinctions.
For office 365 you have exactly one source
I'll disagree with that, not out of typical Slashdot pedantry, but because MS appears to have a different business setup in China, likely to be related to sovereignty.
Their Azure presence is linked to a Chinese company that is NOT Microsoft. This suggests to me that if the customer base required it, MS could have a fully EU-based operation disconnected from the other Azure regions.

This is humour beyond of the creative capabilities of modern AI!
And so long as your subsequent health problems are not a burden on anyone else?
Then you have US Army generals making appeals on Ted Talks because they are concerned with the diminished pool of healthy recruits.
This was in 2012, do we think the situation has improved?
Interesting! Thank you.
Are we talking tiny satellites here and you can pack hundreds into one launch?
I hope so! Imagine if so many of us drive Teslas to avoid car exhaust emissions looking at the exhaust from hundreds of rocket launches.
It's different here: they're talking about anchoring a menu bar to the top, like it was with Mac OS System 9 and earlier, or OS/2. In other words, that will keep changing depending on what the active window is at any given instant
User will just type a prompt for copilot to move the toolbar.
It's not fun to live under D-M-C-A
When I look at the list of regions that Azure has for delivering MS SAAS, there are some sovereign clouds that stand out. The one in China was not even Microsoft, instead they have
What is Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet?
Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet (Azure in China) is a physically separated instance of cloud services located in China. It's independently operated and transacted by Shanghai Blue Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. ("21Vianet"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing 21Vianet Broadband Data Center Co., Ltd..
Easy to imagine that if the USA politics does not change course, then Microsoft is perfectly capable of finding ways to accommodate complicated demands from their overseas customer base.
Unlike the "I told you so" who have been dismissive of this grand project, I'm genuinely sad that even with the considerable resources that KSA has, they are not going ahead with the NEOM vision.
This youtuber made some interesting and very watchable TV about how the failure of the projects still helped push ahead with some progressive thinking. The central claim is that the influence of traditional voices and clergy was diminished as more and more people got involved in this vision.
Nobody will become poor because of the cancellation of The Line, nor the change from ski resort to luxury hotel on a hill - At least they got something done.
