Thank you for this response. I can agree with this perspective.

My comments were, “hey, let’s be a little more level headed about this” and less “this company should die and heads should roll”.

If I have offended you, that wasn’t my intent. You seem defensive about what I said but I wasn’t trying to upset you.

I said broken monitors don’t necessarily affect the rest of the system. Just like, you know, broken infotainment systems don’t necessarily affect the rest of the car. Can happen sometimes, doesn’t seem to have happened this time. So yes what you are implying is that magic is happening when it clearly didn’t and to sit here and say it will definitely affect other systems misleading.

People make mistakes, it’s unavoidable but the fact that they are willing to admit it was their fault, shows an attitude of learning and growth and is a welcome change from norm, where companies sweep it under the rug and it costs people lives.

Will they probably grow to a point where they are too big to give a shit, probably. At least for now they are being open and honest instead of blaming the user or a third party.

We don’t live in a vacuum, the world isn’t black and white. Come live in the grey and cut people some slack.

So if I’m understanding this correctly. If anyone ever rolls out a software update that causes a failure like this it is instantly a sign that the company has a culture that leads to problems. Hard and fast? No exceptions? No one makes a huge mistake, that’s just a mistake that slipped through the cracks?

As for it being connected to the CAN bus, so what? It isn’t some sort of magical system where if something fails all the rest of the connected systems do too. That’s like saying if the monitor on my computer fails and it’s connected to the rest of my computer via the PCIe lanes on my graphics card, then everything else is going to be affected. It doesn’t work like that.

I don’t even have an opinion on the company I just don’t think it’s the end of times because the wrong build rolled out. They fucked up, they owned up to it and based on the response they will learn from it.

Ok, calm down. Seems like a bit of an overreaction to link a bad software update for an infotainment system to “countless unknown dangers”

They screwed up, it happens to the best of us. There isn’t a company on the planet that hasn’t made a mistake and rolled out something that is broken.

What’s important here is that they said “yep, we fucked up, we are prioritizing fixing this problem for customers” instead of trying to hide it or blaming the customer for the problem.

If anything Rivian should be applauded for how they handled it and if this kind of thing continues to happen, then maybe we get the pitch forks out.

I have used Macs for the last 15 years, so this is from someone who is deep into the ecosystem.

Apple can fuck right off with their pricing, Mac sales aren’t down because the market is challenging, Mac sales are down because they cost too much.

Give me an affordable Mac and I would have bought two or three in the past few years. Instead I keep holding out.

Are you a wizard? How did you know? It’s like you peered into my soul.

Coleslaw is fucking awesome you godless piece of shit.

They’ll find some way to make it cumbersome and difficult to use so that no one bothers.

I don’t get why more people don’t understand this. There is literally no way Apple is going to ditch iMessage or open it up voluntarily.

I love being objectified, it’s so hot. Treat me like a filthy object

I’m confused as to what PHP has to do with JavaScript front-end frameworks.

Was it just for a quick laugh and a jab at PHP because it’s an easy target or have I misunderstood that these all use JavaScript

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

The same AFP that has a history of being useless with tech? Like when they did this or this?

This won’t go horribly wrong. There is zero chance they will make false arrests. AI is infallible.

Ok that makes sense

Do we still like signal? I remember reading something about why you should stop using signal but this seems contrary to that

The ducks at the park are free. Like you can just take them.

Only way to be sure is when the phone is actually released but from what I understood from the keynote. Long hold is mute button and pressing the button is programmable.

Inside the apple ecosystem the iPhone can also be used as a flash drive. Between airdrop, connecting it directly to my mac and iCloud Drive I have never once not been able to get files on or off my device (with no need for third party apps I might add)

You mentioned side loading. What are you side loading? Give me examples of what you’re installing? I want a compelling reason to ditch my iPhone so I’m not paying what amounts to the cost of a computer every few years.
