So what next? Wheelchair ramps? Seats for the elderly and the pregnant? Accessibility features don't displace or even inconvenience the majority in any manner. They only make facilities accessible to an additional crowd, who should be

Here is my take on your question. > I'm curious why your perspective on Rust as a HW engineer. C, C++ and Rust requires you to know at least the basics of the C memory model. Register variables, heap, stack, stack frame, frame inval

Okay. That sounds like a reasonable explanation. Thanks!

That's a rather pessimistic take compared to what's actually happening. What you say should apply to the big players like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc the most, because they arguably have massive C codebases. Yet, they're a

This one is apparently a genuine mistake from the author. But I think we should leave it as it is. The confusion and the argument about it is interesting in itself.

Honestly, that doesn't sound so bad, compared to what social media does to children. The combination of feed manipulation and content poisoning has devastating effects on the emotional wellbeing even adults. I hope that they get preocc

In that case, a lot of software is going to raise their subscription prices. I don't think any AI provider is making profits with these integrations.

Don't you think that a lot more improvement in variability and integration can be achieved with better optics? (for the photolithography, of course. I don't remember what they used for plasma etching and ion implantation.) I don&#

Those OEMs are responsible for the Android lock-in situation, and they do profit off it. They have the power to break that dependency easily with any alternative platform of choice. Consider a GNU flavored Linux distro (includes busybox+mus

Now you're just shifting the goal posts. Locking down the full root and the firmware from even the owner, while retaining an exclusive remote exception for yourself (the OEM) at the same time is worthwhile, but adding or swapping user

Irrelevant and misleading. Three reasons: 1. We had serviceable devices and vehicles for ages. There was an equally tiny group of people who knew how to service them. However, everyone used to benefit because they paid those tiny group to d

Developing a restrictive feature at significant cost and imposing it upon the consumers isn't nearly what a reasonable person would consider as inherent or default. You can argue otherwise based on technicalities or arbitrary definitio

How is that inherent? That's something they added to the device to restrict our options. Now even if we accept the argument that this is necessary for security, why is there no provision for the owner to add their own keys, or bypass i

I disagree. The answer to your counter is in the same comment that you're countering. It's easier to let the owner alone unlock it, rather than lock it to everyone and then control it remotely (at least for updates). At the minimu

Being able to install a new OS is not an 'additional feature'. It's the downgrade of a capability that's inherent to the device. It's the same as making a carseat heating a subscriptions service. Whether the users u

They're saying that the laser at that wavelength is absorbed by the liquid in the eyeball (either aqueous humour or viterous humour). It doesn't reach the retina to burn your eye.
