Oh, I stand corrected

People are just now acknowledging it. Execs tend to have a disdain for the minutiae. They’re like kids that only want to do the exciting bits. As a result things get fucked because they don’t really understand what they’re doing. As Muskrat would say “move fast and break things.” It’s a terrible mindset.

I’m pretty sure no part of this is a good thing

Sounds more like Project Insight to me

Subscription to a cell carrier maybe? I’ve used Android Auto in particular a bunch. It connects to my phone and uses Google maps, which is non subscription. Admittedly it’s been a bit, I suppose Google could have crippled it since I last used it, but I have my doubts. My mother uses it regularly and I guarantee she’d be throwing a fit if she needed to pay to do so.

Car makers don’t give you that option.

Except they do if you have Android Auto. Literally none of that has any bearing whatsoever on subscriptions for cruise control though.

Is this whole issue just “we told an algorithm to do a thing and we’re shocked that it did it?” The ‘prompt’ is basically telling it to do this behaviour, including giving it the new name but the article treats it as if it’s spontaneous.

Razer has entered the chat

Razer Synapse is hands down the worst piece of software I’ve ever used. Their drivers can’t find their own ass with both hands and a map. If I had a dime for every time my Razer mouse or keyboard fucked up during a game and screwed me over I’d have enough money to buy an actually good mouse and keyboard.
