Keep in mind there's a distict possibility that the Android you see as a driver is running as a guest on a QNX Hypervisor system ;)

That is such a trip to learn that QNX might be a the hypervisor to the android OS running on my car.

I've seen my car's infotainment fail and restart, but i didn't thinking what is handling it underneath.

is there a chance that QNX has a podman-type application to run containers?

A death notice... with a link to a GoFundMe for a cancer treatment. Just another poignant reminder on the state of American healthcare.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the GoFundMe and felt such disdain for American's inability to provide for itself.

Is it just me, but PIF owning EA is the next (and gigantic) step in the middle east's sport washing strategy?

My made up history of EA is that EA was acquired because a Saudi princling's Dad got mad at him for becoming a whale for EA. So in order to cut costs at home, he just told PIF to buy EA so he can defraud his money back.

This reads like "How to follow orders and resignate". Only shows that companies are dictatorships where workers don't have a say

The article says in many more words, "pick your battles". You can't manage when you aren't the manager. Getting fired/laid off won't get you the results.

Pressure is being exerted from above, you bend (lax enforcement) and bounce back (suggest to higher ups better policies) when the time is appropriate.

I have an iPhone 13 mini, just replaced the battery. If you want my money, give me an iPhone 17 mini with small width and height, I don't care about it being thinner like the Air. Also, no AI ruining the image quality of the expensive camera. I saw examples of a consumer-grade digital camera vs an iPhone 16 and the latter introduced "hotdog skin" effect and other effects that made the photos look over-processed.

I know that the iPhone Mini users are few but vocal. Instead of a yearly refresh of the mini, they should do a run every 5 years or so. Make a bunch, sell out of inventory by year 3, make a new one year 5 with updates matching the spec/price de jour.

It's like a LTR (Long term release) iPhone.

I know there are Apple Engineers lurking here, start the whisper campaign!

I am not against google but apple should get the same treatment.
eumenides1 · 4 months ago
I was looking for an explanation of why apple and google received such a difference in outcomes.

1. Apple had to post a link that said Epic's product could be purchased at elsewhere 2. Google has to do a lot more. Like actual anti-trust punishment things

IMHO, these two should be both punished because the duopoly is pretty self-evident.

From what i could grep (and it's dumb): The problem lies in the structures of both monopolists. Apple has never ever let any one else make smartphones, and it's walled garden is completed, so the court can't compel it to open up and let others (like epic) play. So a link is all they have to do. Android smartphones do allow other app stores, but Google makes it hard to install them, highly discourage them, and google pays developers to not release on other app stores. So google has an "open" market but behaves like a monopoly. So the judge is trying to "level" the market and punish google for acting like a monopolist.

I think apple should get the same treatment, but how?

I echo this sentiment. One of my favorite periods of my life was college, actually getting to learn about some advanced topics in CS. Then I graduated and got a job and now I struggle so hard to learn new things (despite lecture videos and textbooks and LLMs existing) without a professor grading assignments/giving exams/that you can talk to, or classmates.

I’m thinking about enrolling in an online college just for fun. Though the problem I have is that I think the Venn diagram of colleges that are online, aren’t expensive, have advanced CS/ML courses, have an experienced professor that you get to interact with is pretty much zero. If anyone has suggestions, do let me know.

Try not to beat yourself up too much about it, I certainly have and it hasn't been very useful to do so.

You have a finite amount of energy in a day and learning takes a lot of energy. It's why a kid's job is the learn.

You could try front running the learning, but it will impact your energy levels at work. It still takes a monumental amounts of discipline, but you may have the energy to make it work.

> where we are now (tabs on top, no wasted space)

Tabs at the top is wasted space, I much prefer my tabs on the side instead, as most web content is taller than it is wide, and I have a widescreen monitor. I understand the choice of tabs on top when 640x480 was the most common resolution, but for desktop usage today? Tabs on top seems like an outdated layout choice.

Getting sick is a very stressful period, physically and mentally. It absolutely ages you.

We're sick far less often nowadays. Common illnesses were more common in previous generations. Back in the day "everyone got measles".

While people fear being "too clean" there is also a downside to being "too exposed".

The hygiene hypothesis does not suggest that having more infections during childhood would be an overall benefit
