Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

Only now? It’s been two years of this and now they’ve had too much? No partial credit should be given for people that continued to participate when it was clear what was happening.

You missed the part where the latch is deforming, causing it to not close or alert the driver. The software fix is yet another attempt to dodge the fact that they do not have enough repair capacity or financial reserves for a major fleet recall.

You can google for cloudflare issues ranging from providing hosting for actual nazi sites to extorting customers by threatening the exact scenario se saw in this blog post. Feel free to google “cloudflare account suspended” to see many posts about people having not just DDoS mitigation disabled, but everything related to an account deleted and disabled. Many of those people had the audacity to, get this, rely on DDoS protection! The nerve, right?

Not just “this case”, there’s been countless cases like this with CF.

Not a huge surprise, they’ve got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.

Tesla isn’t valued like a car company.

The market being stupid doesn’t change the fact that they are a manufacturing company. The fact that they can convince people to repeat this nonsense is how they keep the market stupid. Keeping the market stupid is how they continue pumping cash to stay afloat.

iPhone actually works. Also, which generation iPhone weighs two tons?

The difference is that “tech” companies can produce more of their software with minimal or no additional cost. This is why their values tend to be higher than traditional companies manufacturing things. Tesla can’t do that. Their revenue is their shitty cars, without them there’s nothing to run their shitty non-working software on.

Except that the manufacture shitty products. Manufacturing something makes them not operate like a tech company, which is why Elon is desperate for people to repeat that they’re a tech company. You’re doing his work for him.

Tesla isn’t a tech company.

They identify people in public that should probably be robbed. So they’re useful for that I suppose.

All scams come to an end when they run out of marks to steal from.

Didn’t overlook it, I simply didn’t comment on it. You also have to be careful about comparing where you personally live and the national average. Because the national average includes a lot of places that are shockingly poor.

$1,731 in today’s USD is $37,392. That new car would be $18k, rent was just over $500. There’s places in the US where average rent is close to that, and I bet if we removed NYC and the Bay area the national average wouldn’t be super far off.

Education and staples are where you’re getting drilled on a daily basis. Harvard costs many times the average national income rather than being a fraction of it.

Whenever a government or government agency announces a successful exploit, I presume they’ve already exhausted it and moved on to another one that won’t be patched or publicly divulged for many years.

It wasn’t sensible, given the short life of DNA. One of those sci-fi ideas that caught media and technophile attention, but wasn’t ever going to go anywhere.

Project Silica appears to be attempting very high density, very long life storage, though.

You’re missing a TON of history here. Like udev being a dependency to all those projects AND systemd, which led to systemd adding it to their project. Really it could be said that udev is the critical component here.

As you mentioned networkmanager, you clearly know that many popular distros use that rather than systemd-networkd.

Grub2 is by far the most popular boot loader, so far ahead that it’s not even worth considering others. Grub has had several major issues, every distro uses it, why not pick on grub as the risk?

Did you have these same concerns about sysvinit? About the various distro network scripts? What about libc? Good god if there’s a problem with libc we’re all in deep trouble.

Yes, code has bugs. But New code has new bugs (ironically an argument previously used against systemd). Whatever you replace these components with will be just as likely to have a critical vulnerability, but far fewer maintainers and resources to fix it. Systemd has simplified and improved features of so many parts of Linux that it’s funny to see how vehemently people argued against it. Feel free to disable any parts you don’t need, but I think you’re missing 20 years of painful history that led us here.

But everyone’s a dog online. I’m the 10th doctor you always wonder about. 😆
