Thank you for sharing that last paragraph. It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there who feels let down by the trajectory Microsoft has taken. I've likewise got a lifetime of experience on the Windows / MS stack,

Is there any information about precisely what vehicle telemetry they capture and retain? I know the laws are far from perfect, but isn't there some legislation compelling them to disclose what they collect? What specifically would be t

Way better. I hate it when updates, migrations or cosmic radiation break fidelity.

It's because BigCo's tend toward decisions with dumb outcomes, while SmallCo's still benefit from the strategic direction of their founders. Although not a hard and fast rule, if you take a good look at where innovation occu

Hard Disk Sentinel is really good for this type of thing. The developer is awesome and some years ago after I asked for some new features added code to better support my RAID adapter.

Neat! Can anyone who's worked with the stuff give us some more detail? How strong is it in practice? At 245psi tensile strength that seems about half as strong as 3M 4200 (which is not bad!). How compatible is it with various substr

This is a terrible idea, and I'm far from convinced it will improve clarity. The solution is to hire people who can be understood, and empower them with the authority to be effective. Elaborate and misleading schemes to mask the probl

One alternative is to make simple, efficient, and where appropriate even static sites that can scale to meet the demand. The HIBP hashes distribution is a great example.

One stupid button would solve all that. I'm of similar age as you and really miss buttons. In my car, on my devices, on appliances, etc. There are applications where capacitive touchscreen buttons make sense but by and large all the

Sadly didn't work for me without the Instagram app. "Continue on web" led to a "Something went wrong" error, and trying to click Play just opens a link to their Play Store app. Would love to watch the video if you

Did the car have a built-in navigation feature? I presume after you removed the GPS connection it broke, and you instead use CarPlay for navigation?

For my business and that of everyone else who stops forking over their money in these one-sided, despicable agreements.

Thank you. There's a lot of criticism and skepticism here, and it's nice to see an optimistic comment. I've no idea if the proponents of this plan are reputable, but the concept reminds me of the early years of WestJet, when

It has only tried to kill me a couple times in 6 years of driving I understand your pragmatism, but it still boggles my mind how this metric could be considered satisfactory.

The acceptable loss of crew risk for Artemis is 1 in 30 (3.3%), and I gather figures like that feed into the engineering constraints dictating the design (level of redundancy, materials selection, etc).

This article feels like it was written by a child and decorated (with ads) by an over-eager marketing major. Anyone have a guess what they really were?

Cool! Honestly though, just hitting the "right arrow" button on my keyboard it was a blast. Such a great mix of photos and short vids, several clearly impromptu and unvarnished, felt real.

Unrelated but genuine question: When did it become vogue to use the word "litigate" in a casual context like you just did, outside of any legal proceedings or the like? Why prefer it over, for example, "debate"? (I firs

Could the person who drafted that have been contemplating something like a Dead Man's Switch? Even if so, not sure how it would have much teeth in terms of consequences after you're dead. Or some weird scenario where an individua

...do dealers have any way to update control modules besides OTA? Of course they do. It would be absolutely silly not to. And in the case of safety recalls, their duty to inform you would entail a more traditional and substantiated disc

Neat, dumb question - are the tokens you prepay for good forever, or do they expire? And do they provide any assurances or SLA's about speed? (i.e. that in a year they won't decide to dole out response tokens to you at a snail&#

Interesting observation about power use. How close do you think we are to it being practical to wire your whole home with fiber instead of CAT6 or whatever? If you're providing all your own equipment, are willing to purchase a high-e

Indeed - one of my biggest pet peeves is when organizations chronically avoid budgeting the time and resources to deal with their technical debt. Or when they lack leadership that is confident and bold enough to make the hard decisions to

We also haven't really seen how large volumes of generated sourcecode will stand up over time (like, decades) in terms of maintainability. My prediction is you'll encounter a lot more disposable software. That's fine for ma
