So you are creating a translation layer between OEM APIs and thirdparty service and giving the owner of the car to connect those pipes using your service?

Pixels use Qualcomm SoCs up through pixel 5
Zhenya··on Early Access to Chrome OS Flex: The Upgrade PCs and Macs
I am more knowledgeable about the arm / android world.

I do wonder if for the chrome os world there are SoC+BSP vs ChromeOS feature requirements that cause this lack of ability to support (e.g. trust zone etc)

Zhenya··on Early Access to Chrome OS Flex: The Upgrade PCs and Macs
Not defending Google’s actions but it worth noting that not updating devices usually has to do with the SoC supplier ceasing support for the chip by not shipping BSPs which support new OS features. Yes google should have negotiated better support but it’s lack of support has to do more with inability to do so within reasonable means.

They have projects ongoing to decouple OS functionality from the base firmware (project treble and project keystone).

This whole issue is probably one reason that Google went through all the trouble to first develop their own support silicon and then the main SoC (pixel 6).

Zhenya··on Chat control: EU Commission presents mass surveillance plan on May 11
He’s not right.

Lowering penalties makes it more acceptable to society. I think we do agree that allowing child abuse is a net negative for society.

Zhenya··on Chat control: EU Commission presents mass surveillance plan on May 11
If EU really wants to curb risk to children:

  -significantly raise the penalty for sexual child abuse

  -provide clinics and medications for people with this mental disease
However, that’s not really the goal here is it…
Zhenya··on Apple is discontinuing the iPod
I just wish there was a good way to sync Spotify/YTM playlists to these offline devices.

What I have seen is using the 5th gen iPods with new firmware is great.

Zhenya··on The Google incentive mismatch: Problems with promotion-oriented cultures
Maybe instead of promoting, which is a stand in for $ and peer respect, you give those things, and/or provide a track which values being a domain expert+maintenance e.g. professor emeritus.

Building half working shiny things is bad for the company, and erodes user trust.

Tried to check out your site, ‘clicked start for free’ on the homepage but got:

“Bad request”

Can I learn more?

Zhenya··on Why didn’t auto-braking stop these crashes?
Sorry, your hypothesis makes no sense. There are WAY more cars sold by other brands, so more Tesla incidents is even more galling. Using autopilot should only HELP the auto braking not make it worse.

Other systems use radar and camera. They are thoroughly tested by the OEMs and suppliers to strict tolerances.

Meanwhile Tesla is shipping beta software and having people test it. Including removing radar because of “phantom” braking.

Zhenya··on Phony diagnoses hide high rates of drugging at nursing homes
Such a nihilistic viewpoint.

Others consider bearing children a gift of life.
