- carlosjobim 1y agoIt takes thousands of years for the stars to have changed positions in a noticeable way, and my best guess is that the customers will not use their car GPS for so long that this will bother them.
- crazygringo 1y agoVery funny, but in case you're serious, it's not the stars changing... ...it's the software frameworks. A new screen size. A different color depth. A bug when the graphics library is upgraded for antialiasing. Etc.
- carlosjobim 1y agoThat's not going to be an issue with devices already sold. And if developers of future devices can't handle it they should probably be fired from their job.
- crazygringo 1y agoIt's not a question of whether future developers can "handle" it. It's a question of whether the additional time required to maintain it is worth the cost. Maintenance isn't free. It takes time, and every little bit adds up. Also, devices already sold often get updates, so it's not even just about future devices.
