A rear camera is mandatory on new cars in the US these days, and it's honestly a good idea to have them either way. This makes a screen a necessity more or less no matter what (I can't see it being implemented with a bring-your-ow

Yikes. That doesn't sound right. It works fine in my Kia, so this sounds like BMW's implementation is really bad (how did they even do that‽).

They still suck (modulo Tesla and maybe a few other very recent models).

This would not fly in Europe. You would be able to return the car for having lost crucial functionality, at least within 2 years of the sale (in some jurisdictions, 5 years). They could do it after that, but functionally forcing a subscript

You can control Carplay the most relevant parts with buttons. Next-previous track, volume, voice commands, probably more I can't think of. Not to mention that yes, a bigger screen probably is better. Bigger target = easier to hit. The

I don't think this is a useful stance to take for more or less any reason (any reason you can point to will have a different underlying issue). Cars functionally have to have microprocessors, if nothing else but to control emissions, a

The customers want to be able to control the infotainment system, by functionally replacing it with something completely different, since the defaults are garbage across the industry. Both Apple and Google have outdone every single carmaker

Even if they can do better, will it be better than Carplay in 10 years? Or 20? Will I get free GPS map updates for that long? Some brands don't even do OTA updates, so you'd have to get your car in for a service if there's a

I've never seen a normal car infotainment system I liked (at least beyond 'put in a CD, then use next and previous track'), and Carplay is such a massive improvement over that. It's good, it's consistent, it's

Language is very personal. It's very reasonable to want to write in a way that feels natural to you, without constantly having to rephrase or simplify. Surely most turns of phrase and references are easily googleable these days anyway,

I can't see how. Or, well, I can see how, but those options are so radical compared to what console gaming is today that nobody would even dare suggest it in a boardroom. Things like: * Allowing resale of digital games * Transferring g

Blu-ray is lossy too. All video codecs of note that aren't for professionals are lossy, so the point mostly still stands. Lossless compression doesn't go very far when it comes to video. An uncompressed 24 bit 1080p image is just

Uncompressed 24-bit 1080p running at 24 FPS requires 1.192 Gbit/s, or 0.149 GByte/s. So a 25 GB (single-layer) blu-ray has enough space for a whopping 167.8 seconds of uncompressed 1080p video running at 24 FPS. You can double tha

Sony won a whole console generation on not being knobheads (as much as MS).

It's from a 2016 essay. I'm not sure it was ever only a joke. I didn't even perceive it as a joke back then (unless you wanted to joke about companies being knobheads). It was already clear by then that that was the direction

Given enough time, I'm sure it will happen, if only because they're not going to get security updates until the end of time. And even if true, there's always emulation (also a pain though).

The store's been buggy for a while, and I guess Sony doesn't feel like putting in the effort to keep it up (the return on investment isn't there). We should have seen this coming back in 2006. I'm sure someone did.

Even if Sony keeps a token factory or two open to produce blu-rays, I'd imagine we'll see fewer and fewer new releases. Maybe we'll only see them as part of collector's sets that have enough margin to afford a cut of the
