Yes, anyone can steal a car, including a car company. It was not legal for them to do so.

Uh, there is not any car that the manufacturer can take away from you at-will, only in-car "services".

All my code (that isn't owned by a business, contractually) is free (well, technically I have a couple of private repos, but they're not paid access, they're just not available). So are all of the translation and commission

I don't think there's any evidence of that, it's just supposition based on them being unable to locate them.

I was arguing against what seemed in your comment like you were saying that touchscreen keyboards were a progression from physical ones, and then from touchscreen ones a progression to AR/VR. I agree that pane-of-glass, non-reactiv

Not everything presented as a problem is, in fact, a problem. A solution for something that is not broken, may even induce breakage. Some not-problems, presented as though they are: "How can we prevent the untimely eradication of Polio

Ok, but ads aren't going to fundamentally shift away from being a method to induce people to consume unnecessarily in 300 years. That's just what they are.

That's the thing, the stuff you described isn't a phone replacement; we don't use our phones to do that right now. I do think that AR and holographic projection (which is also advancing very nicely, and having some very cool

Personally, I use Nextcloud, running on one of my home servers. For SaaS storage, I honestly dont' know. I don't use Nextcloud to have instant access, I use it for redundancy for critical data that I don't want only living on

See, the only one there that actually sounds useful to me and not a clumsier version of something I can already do, is the breadboard. But I'd much rather have that as a holo table-like system than AR glasses: https://newatl

You've actually got it backwards. There's a reason that mice and keyboards are faster and more accurate than touchscreens, and it's that there is a physical+visual feedback occurring that our brains are used to processing whe
