The game pass app was genuinely a dumpster fire for years. These days it's fine.

MikeJF posted:They wouldn't do anything as passively as deny an update, they'll let things continue as normal, letting updates through, until the moment they pull the app and then release statements weeks in the crafting. Someone in one of the other Elon threads pegged it: all Apple has to do is say that because Twitter gutted its CSAM team to a single person, they don't feel safe keeping them in the app store. That'd instantly deflate any of Elon's whining about censorship or Tim Cook.

Google's gotta be quietly getting ready to move too, I expect they're probably getting all their ducks in a row with justifications and everything to be able to 'come to the same conclusions' as Apple in a matter of hours if Apple pulls it. Or go first, but if Apple pulls, Google won't want to be too far behind.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:Though it’s not surefire. I had a real idiot boss and my strategy was to let him burn his own rear end. “Don’t let anyone see us working against him.” Alas, I underestimated upper management’s ability to listen to idiots when they blame an entire team for their incompetence. I expect the same to some level with Musk too, the right will buy his woeful tale of activists and leftists destroying his beautiful company. I worked at a drycleaner that had the business of all the low- and high-level politicians in NM along with a bunch of rich, rich, rich people cuz they were $2.25/item (eventually $2.50), plus $1.25 launder and starch on shirts. Volume. People kept whining about using credit cards. I told them to get a Square and use it on their phone. "Oh but we've been talking with the bank and it's just too much to install the system and buy the hardware and pay them their cut, it's too much!" "Yeah just get a Square" "Oh but we've been talking with the bank and it's just too much to install the system and buy the hardware and pay them their cut, it's too much!" "Yeah just get a Square" ad nauseam. Once I left for a new job, I went back to clean a suit and they had credit card machines, and I asked my old coworker what happened, and she told me they went ahead and signed that lovely contract Wells Fargo wouldn't budge on. A year later they shut down the factory and got divorced. Real dipshit Toby Keith loving cowboy.

Wasn't there a whole thing about the company not qualifying as having its headquarters internationally any longer, which could potentially open it up to massive taxes?

MikeJF posted:Reminder that Google and their waymo research chose not to release any level 3 semi-self-driving products like autopilot because their studies made them decide it would be unethical to do so. Because the idea of 'the car is doing most of the work but the driver stays alert to intervene if necessary' turned out to be impossible in the real world. It's been about 2 years since I've talked to him about it, but I know a guy whose SE firm works/worked with google and I think Ford for awhile on their self driving software/hardware. It sounds like most companies have the ability to do self-driving that's a big improvement on Tesla (if only because they're not irrationally against LIDAR), but nobody's solved the problems of poorly maintained/documented roads occasionally loving up the AI, the fact that people around you aren't going to be in self driving cars and thus can drive irrationally, and poor weather loving up the systems hard (I heard this one was closest to being solved). Basically it can work wonders in a perfect scenario, or if users can be relied upon to actually be paying attention in autonomous mode, but poo poo happens and thus true adoption of autonomous vehicles on a large scale won't happen until things are drat near as close to perfect as possible.

Jelly posted:Yeah, PC Gamepass is fine. The person was complaining about Minecraft on Gamepass. Minecraft is the most hosed up piece of software to exist in decades. It's migrated through three distribution systems and required the user to jump through hoops each time. It's a loving mess. They've largely consolidated a lot of it now, so its mostly Bedrock and Java versions now aligned with Microsoft's SSO.

Whether that means they start becoming involved together will have to remain an Act 3 twist.

Think about the automation in your life and consider how any of the self-driving cars being called so makes any sense in the context of, say, your dishwasher. It'd be like standing at a sink and watching as the water swishes around in a basin but if you take your eyes off there's a significant chance that it'll jam on something and start hurling your fine china into the walls at mach 3. You'd not call that "automated" in any real sense, particularly if you keep having to reach in to flick off specks of ramen noodle the machine didn't get, while it's washing.

These days it's fine. the MS Store is fine until it isn't. when it isn't fine, there is almost nothing short of reset/reinstall of the whole drat OS to make it work. it's like, the improvement since years ago is that it works for most people now instead of being hosed up for most people. but the process for solving problems is the same dead-chicken-waving as always.

The autopilot tends to be jerky and it hugs the inside of the lane towards the double yellow line, which is scary on twisty country roads. Probably sees the double-yellow as a single line. I work with vision systems every day, screenprinters, chipmounters and AOIs. They are incredibly helpful and automate *a fuckload* of stuff when used correctly, but the first thing my boss told me when I started working with vision systems is to never trust them and once-over everything visually. I work SMD and I catch stuff vision doesn't catch with my naked eye looking at a panel with 20 boards and ~5000 parts on it, or clogged apertures in screens on panels I happen to notice about to go into the CM, etc. Vision systems are helpers and will never be a solution to any kind of full automation. I have an AOI that, no matter how many times it's trained, takes pictures of a diode in the correct configuration as wrong polarity. it has two lines across the package as the polarity marker MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Nov 30, 2022 |

I'm no businessman, but why don't companies just increase their prices 30% in the App Store? Like "if you buy on our website, you save 30%, but if you wanna pay now, go for it (5 more bux)" also lol at Elon going "Chess? hm. a caveman's game. mobile Simcity, a genius design"

One thing to note is that all this is coming from Elon. Apple hasn't said a word publicly, and while he's been all over the map on what Apple's doing to Twitter, we've got no confirmation of anything. Apple might be kicking Twitter off the store! Apple might be withdrawing its ad money from Twitter! Both might be occurring, neither might be occurring, maybe someone at Apple in a polite but strained memo asked what the actual gently caress Musk is talking about and it's being made public because he's the whiniest baby on Earth.

rotinaj posted:Elon fired everybody at twitter and then started his plans to charge to use twitter Worth adding this isn't a new or surprise fee. It's well known and hated thing Apple does to everything in their store. Also, there were signals Apple had issues with his new approach to moderation/business relationships besides that, pulling their ads, so he's conflating two things and as rotinaj said, Post Through It.

Yeah this is significant because the entire collective right is in full-on attack mode over this, including Fox doing segments and DeSantis demanding congressional hearings, and yet absolutely nothing has actually happened, or even been confirmed by anyone other than Elon. Actually surprised we haven't seen videos of chuds destorying their iphones yet. Though I did notice some prominent right wing talking heads have finally figured out not to send tweets attacking Apple from their iPhone

From what I understand, experts believe that the next step will be self-driving semitrucks doing long distance trips on highways between highway rest stops. The technology is ready for this, it's likely profitable and there is a huge driver shortage that is only going to get worse. We will probably see this happening by 2030 already. Private autonomous cars zooming around busy street traffic? Yeah, lol, that's still just a pipe dream. Also, the self-driving trucks will of course use a real real sensor package including lidar. Doing self-driving with a couple of lovely off the shelf cameras like Tesla is trying is not gonna ever happen.
