Meanwhile Sweeney is being litigious instead of inventive.

Not that the lawsuits don’t have merit, just very interesting to see the vast difference in focus between the two companies.

This feels like something a C-suite came up with to carve out extra profit and had some bean counters crunch the numbers on, fluffed them up a bit and then had the company roll with it on his idea.

I’m usually disappointed by consumer apathy, but from everyone I talk to who has a car with a screen, if they have CarPlay/Android Auto they couldn’t do without it, and if they don’t have it it’s the biggest thing they wish they had.

I’d agree with your first statement if they were getting the boot in the place of a company with honesty, value, integrity, quality and security.

GM is none of those things, and it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever be any of those things.

This is bad news.

His problem was he didn’t speak the incantations just right.

These sov cits are so close with their spells, they just haven’t gotten the words just right yet.

Keep trying.

lol exactly.

I want to show up, do work, get paid, be left alone.

I’ll do really good work, and take pride it in because that’s just who I am, but I don’t want to do overtime, I don’t want to go above and beyond for the company, I don’t want to play office politics, I don’t want to jockey for higher roles. None of it.

Show up, get paid.

This is it right here.

If I want to watch something, can I do it within 2 minutes?

Now? If it’s not in the current app I’m in and featured, unlikely.

Piracy? Through a handful of services, local or remote, I can be watching that movie in one place in 30 seconds in the highest quality.

What service was once decent has been ruined by capitalism again.

Amplitube is great, I really like BIAS as well.

I’m commenting on this again because I actually tried this tonight. The info is pretty sparse. I know it’s an alternate install method, but in bottles there’s a lot of variables.

Even just knowing which runner was used in testing would help a ton, as there are quite a few, and each has tons of versions.

They’re counting on people being complacent and just whitelisting.

The problem is, they’re probably right to try the tactic too. People need those dopamine hits.

The Linux install method link on that page leads to a page not found

The cost of vanity for narcissists.
