Nope. If you want control over what’s getting done to your software, you’ve got to take ownership of it, or you might get changes in your fixes you’re not happy with.

Not a lot of options there. You either go with an old pre-computer car or get an open source car (which isn’t really an option).
I’m not talking about the infotainment system, just to be clear. I’m talking about the software that controls the functions of the drive and safety systems. If you want an infotainment system that you have complete control over, I’d suggest putting an open source tablet on your dash

Sadly, it looks like most of the FOSS car infotainment projects died a few years ago.
I don’t think y’all understand. Software is never done, it just becomes abandoned. You have been a “tester” for every piece of software you’ve ever used. And that’s a good thing, because the alternative is you get stuck with whatever the first version is. No one wants dead software.
Well, it’s because it’s an old car company doing software, something they’re universally bad at. Legacy car companies being bad at software is why Apple Carplay and Android Auto exist.
US Gov: Israel, We most definitely do not condone a bombing of these exact sites, here, here and… yeah here and here too, which may or may not contain nuclear weapons. Definitely do not use this cartoonishly large crate of missiles to do that. Also, let us know when you’ve not done that, we might have followup questions and info on other sites you definitely shouldn’t bomb.
Software that never gets updated isn’t a good thing. Even the Voyager probes still get software updates.
A Tesla always updates over the air (I suppose unless that’s the part that’s broken). It’s arguably the most important safety feature on a car mostly defined by its software. I have a ten year old chevy that needs a software update, but like you said I’ll need to make an appointment to have someone else download it and manually install that software for me, which sounds super archaic and dumb when it’s spelled out like that.
It took me a year but I broke my team of this habit. The trick was to remind them that the parking lot shouldn’t be scheduled. The whole point is that you continue conversations organically so that it’s more like the beginning of a working session instead of the end of a meeting.
They should name the dogs “Terror Nexus”
Really has a strong “testing in production” vibe
Exactly, yes! The LHC is so much more (larger isn’t the right word, maybe massive?). If it was on the surface instead of being buried, and the earth was perfectly spherical, you wouldn’t be able to see it standing in the middle of it, because the ring would be on the other side of the horizon all around you.
I think someone needs to update that old “if programming languages were weapons”. JavaScript is a cursed hammer.
Seriously, we started building things so massive that you literally can’t see all of it at the same time unless you’re in the air, riding in a magical skychair.
Ok I believe I can state that is objectively the grumpiest bag I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
I’m going to need you to provide examples so that I can replicate your experiment and verify your findings. Please feel free to post adorable grumpy bad and shocked teapot at your earliest convenience.
Texas: Hold my beer.

Apple is a strange beast. I was at their space ship HQ getting interviewed, and the guy kept pointing random facts about it. Like, this particular wood was harvested in the winter so that made it better, or that entire segments can be siloed off, or that the full height glass walls of the cafeteria can be opened on pivots, and there was just so much effort in making sure things worked just right.
Meanwhile [this team] had to test software fixes for their product by provisioning ancient Mac mini’s in a closet lab because they wanted to test the “full experience” and so every patch and update they had to do was painful and horribly tested. They all hated each other (which was obvious to me just from my time in their interviews, so it must have gotten really bad during the workday I imagine). Everyone seemed on edge all the time. Even the people in the hallways. But they were all super excited that they could order lattes from the iPads tethered to the break room countertops. And they had an apple orchard I guess. The idea of changing how they do what they do was completely unentertainable.
The whole experience felt surreal, like I had stepped into the world according to The Onion.
In space everything is a hexagon, so the correct word would be “hextares”
