I like how the horn is listed there. As if someone was going to make a car where you had to scroll through a menu and tap a screen to honk.

I mostly hit my horn with my fist, so a touchscreen would be less than ideal.

Money. Think about the money. That infotainment system is expensive. It's expensive to fix. Anything added to a car is a new thing that can break, and cost too much to fix.

Most of them probably do. What other OS are they going to use on a lightweight embedded computer?

My wife drives a 2012 Audi. It has a 2g cell modem built in. Guess how well that works.

You're right, that really doesn't add up. Nor did the last story about this where (I think) Dell said they'd have to raise prices 5-10%, when their cost increase was considerably less.

Because Congress decided it's safer that way. Can't have a backup camera without a big display. Even though mirrors worked perfectly well for a hundred damn years, now you need to pay a couple extra grand to look down at a monitor instead of up to your rearview. Which you still need to have, for safety.

I don't want a big display. I don't need a small one. My 2012 Altima doesn't have one, and I like it. My wife's 2012 A6 has one, and while it and the backup camera are convenient, they aren't necessary for anything other than managing all the other computerized crap a car doesn't actually need (no touch though, all knobs and buttons). But that's a pipe dream since Congress, in its infinite wisdom, deemed expensive backup cameras a necessity. It's not possible to buy a new car that doesn't have a dozen computers, because Congress keeps insisting they have more.

Thanks Congress, you found a way to make new cars infinitely safer. By ensuring nobody could afford to drive one.

Not necessarily. I can turn off my radio really fast without looking, I'm used to where the button is. Plus, it's a big fat button in the middle of the volume knob, within my peripheral vision. I can silence it before four notes of the !#@#%!~$~$@#$#@ K4K song can play.

Oh, and task manager does show GPU memory usage. You have to enable the column in the Details view, but it can show dedicated and shared GPU and NPU memory use.

Really? Mine shows all that. Are you sure you're having it display the correct columns?

It's made my job easier. Ever have to parse a log file for a piece of software you aren't familiar with?

I suspect it's because procexp64 counts as a debugging tool. I've had DRM/anticheat protected games refuse to launch because it was running. I was PISSED! Spent a lot of time yelling at whichever vendor it was.

But 100% yes, I agree. I love Sysinternals.

I don't see it that way at all. Task manager on my laptop with an NPU now has a graph for NPU usage next to the graph for GPU usage. And it took them a long time to add that GPU graph. Task manager isn't doing anything new, it's still just showing resource use for each application.

And no, Task Manager is not for OS performance, that's Performance Monitor (perfmon.msc).

No, editors... edit. Comments aren't editing, changing the text is. An editor may approach that through comments, but they're telling the author to rewrite when they do so.

But this isn't about students using AI, it's about students getting into college level math classes without being able to handle fractions. California's high schools aren't graduating students unqualified to leave middle-school because of AI, they're doing it because that's the official policy.

The Guardian is part of the political movement that created that policy, so they want to shift the focus of the debate.
