Anacdotaly I suspect most car software bugs aren’t hunted or patched at all, unless an exec at the company happens to run into the bug in their personal vehicle and flags it for the development team to fix.

I’ve heard too many stories of car software issues where the dealer gives it back with a note “reset the battery and tested good” but the bug is still easily reproduced.

Could have named it GroceryList.xls and would probably still be working there 😂

No matter how you shake and dance, the last few drops fall on your pants.

Seems unlikely unless the bubble survives another 5+ years. My guess is power companies are taking AI contracts and cash now, promising to add capacity later, and then when the bubble pops they will shrug, say no more capacity is needed, and give the CEOs a huge bonus.

Agreed. And truly developers don’t need to actually “support” Linux; mostly they just need to not intentionally block games from working.

Linux only needs to hit a “small but not insignificant size market” for the large publishers to start supporting it. They won’t support it if they lose money doing so, but if it continues to grow eventually they will lose money by not supporting it.

Steam machine should provide another bump, just like steam deck.

Rockstar marketing exec: “It must be at least 1TB”

All true. But a few years ago Fire TV had a big update that put full screen video ads that you must navigate off of every time you wake up the fire stick. It’s so bad we stopped using it.

Roku has WAY LESS ads than Fire TV. Yes I get one on the home screen, off to the side, easily ignored.

It’s true they might add more later. It is pretty much the only corporate strategy these days.

Idk if Apple TV is still no ads. It is usually suggested as the best home streamer.
