>secure attestation

And web attestation, which almost became a thing about a year ago. It is gone for now, but it will only be a matter of time before it decides to rear its ugly head again.

>At the moment, anyone can use Linux; it's better and easier than ever. Will the laws of your country make it harder or more difficult to avoid? Will major vendors lock you out of basic functions?

Somewhat related, but if x86 loses dominance it will be even more difficult if not impossible to install Linux or other alternate OS's on ARM devices. The majority of consumer ARM electronics make it hard enough, and normally requires you to run a specific patched (and most likely outdated) Linux kernel in order to boot.

There are ARM devices which meet the ARM System Ready standard which allows you to boot whatever OS you want, but they are mostly enterprise devices such as servers. Cheapest one I've seen which your average consumer might buy was an ARM workstation with a starting price of about $1500

I've always wondered if increasing everybody's lifespan would result in more people caring more about the long term future. Our lives are so short in the grand scheme of things that we never bother to really thing about the grand scheme of things.

At the very least the is how it should be done. Having to download and install an app, then login, then connect payment info, etc... Sounds like such a pain I wouldn't even bother.

Agreed, that is the same way I view things. There is also the great feeling of satisfaction when you finish repairing your own stuff.

Just curious, is the company NCR?

I've noticed these little wheeled drones running around in the bicycle lanes in the east valley, usually with a biker following it not too far behind. I kind of figured they were going to be using them to roll out an autonomous delivery service at some point.

You explain the limitations in learning and long term memory (for lack of a better word) regarding current models in a much more knowledgeable and insightful way than I ever could. I am going to save these comments for later in case I need to better the current limitations we face to others in the future.

>They used advanced fingerprint-shifting browsers

I'm guessing this would be Firefox, possibly using in house extensions or userscripts designed to help further avoid fingerprinting?

This is what MISRA C and AUTOSAR C++ is for. However I think those only apply to automotive components like the ECU, not the infotainment systems.

Great insights into what goes one when developing firmware and updating it! I've never worked on that side of things so I was always curious what the development and testing process looked like.

This is going to end up the same way when Russia fined Google 20 decillion dollars. They won't receive a cent.

My first thought as well lol

> I'm sure you're aware of the major turbo QC problems Toyota has with the 3.4L twin turbo in the Tundra and Sequoia models.

That's why I got a Tacoma with a plain V6 and no turbo's to worry about :)

>This is particularly bad for Ford, since they currently lead the industry in recalls and warranty spend

Can confirm this. Just Traded in my Escape for a Toyota. I was tired of spending time and money on repairs on a mid range car with less than 65k miles.

I just built this set yesterday and was thinking to myself 'I wonder how hard it would be to turn this into a functioning gameboy?' Looks like I have my answer!

Good, there is a reason why just about every other country outlaws these.

Thanks for the alternatives, I'll check them out!

It seems to be through their own storefront in the app. Thankfully it doesn't automatically subscribe you at the end of the free trial.

This. I want to know which places to avoid at all costs.

It keeps nagging me to upgrade to the family plan or plus or whatever. And if I ignore it enough it enrolls me in a free trial of the family plan without me even asking every once it a while. The amount of up-selling they try to push on you now is so annoying.

If anyone has any recommended alternatives where I can learn Japanese I'm interested. Despite all the crap Duolingo has, it has been very convenient when it comes to spending 30 minutes at the end of the day doing some Japanese lessons.

I would love to see that, the Valve index was pretty good. Also, in terms of companies which actually care about their customers, Valve is also one of the top.

I don't think that is mentioned anywhere in the bible.

> Windows is probably one of the most egregious with copilot being jammed into every app.

Seeing copilot shoved into Notepad of all things was probably the worst

I remember creating a chatbot for my minecraft server over a decade ago that used Markov chains. It was funny seeing the crazy things it spat out and the other players enjoyed it.

Living in the middle of the Sonora Desert, I unfortunately don't get to experience the wonderful fall weather of the midwest anymore. I hope to someday move to a place where I can enjoy it again, it was always my favorite time of year when I was a kid.

One of the reasons why my next laptop will probably be a Framework. I got lucky with my current one which has worked flawlessly so far, but who knows if I would be lucky with the next one I buy?

Off topic, but I'm guessing your username references the M4 Sherman tank? Kinda clever and funny.

Having a keyboard with tactile feedback is much easier to use than a touch screen keyboard, an you're way less likely to make mistakes. The main reason you don't see them on phone anymore is because having a keyboard on a phone takes up space, makes the phone cost more, and in the case of sliding keyboards adds more points of failure as well. For phone, a touch keyboard is good enough.

Seems like things have changed since Google Glass was released. When they were first released, I remember there was a huge pushback against them because of the cameras they had. Some businesses would even ban you from entering if you were wearing them
