Also a Tesla owner. Hate that can not use Car Play. What am I missing? Google maps lets me search by topic, Telsa doesn't. I end up having to pull out my phone to find anything. Then to add insult to injuiry, 50% of the time I pick &qu

a tcp/ip stack was not part of windows in 1993. You'd buy it from a 3rd party company. Was Microsoft adding it "bundling"? Same for mouse drivers. media players. cd writing software. Unzip functionality, and on and on. M

Will Tesla become the Android, vs say BYD? It's starting to feel more like Tesla will be the Nokia/Blackberry of cars.

The whole issue is about defining "default". In the 1950s maybe the food that Safeway/Luckys/Vons carried was "default". It's arguably not in 2024, at least not in 40-50% of LA/OC and SF Bay Area At s

That's a good point. I guess I'd be more likely to pick some library because even if the binary is portable, the OS is not. Understanding where to store user preferences for example. (unix usually puts them in ~/.somefolder b

This so tiring. The issue is not about whether you as a consumer can buy a different phone. The issues is about whether you, as a company, can do business with half the world with one company gating access to those customers. No company sho

The differences are scale and utility. A company that has control of such a large market gets different rules because of the power they weld. Apple's market is 1-2 billion people and affects 100,000+ companies. Nintendo's market i

Not my experience. Everyone I know is not happy to be "othered". Oh, you're not really American. You've got slanted eyes. Oh, you're not really American, you eat rice instead of bread. Oh, you're not really Ame

You just spit on every American that doesn't eat that food. Wow! "American food" is what Americans eat. There are plenty of American's that don't eat the food from "Default grocery stores". You comment can

The number of people this effects seems like it must be pretty small. There's the subset of people that have more than one OS. There's the subset of those that use command line tools (this explicitly doesn't do GUIs). There&#

American culture has Ghost Pepper potato chips, Sriracha potato chips, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Jalepeno chips, etc.. so it's not like spicy stuff isn't already being sold all over the place. I too look forward to more variety. Altho

Taking the downvotes.... It seems like a micro-agression (not sure what word to use) that Safeway, Lucky's, Vons, etc are "grocery stores" but 99 Ranch, K-Mart, Pacific Supermarket are "Asian Grocery stores". Effect

If you're from the USA maybe you're used to effectively a single payment system (or a small number that all use the same card reader) Many countries have far more payment systems. For example, Japan, 7/11 takes Line Pay, PayP

Now we have to argue about "culture". I'd say, movies and net series are culture and well funded and popular with the public. No need for subsidies for unpopular "theater". Also, according to that same episode of f

How did that work? So the "company" pays the "landlord" so it shows zero profit but now the landlord has a profit right?

Seems to me, describing the problem for the person you're going to pay is the exact same amount of work as filing a bug. They can't read your mind so you'll have to detail what you want fixed. Show how to repo the problem so

I don't, in fact I mostly hate serializations systems. IMO they lead to extremely long load times. It might be more work to put the data that actually needs to be saved into some binary blob but it's the difference between a game
