Sounds like the guy I want to be running emergency management!

Xitter. Xitter xitter xitter.

(pronounced shitter)

They have an “attack flow” diagram that seems to indicate a hacker installing it directly through a known vulnerability.

Good point! If vehicles are communicating like that, which I’ve always thought would be the ultimate for efficiency, you’d have to protect against poison pills. That would be even more difficult with disparate systems cooperating.

Reminds me of the car “chase” scene in I, Robot.

I wonder if this could be a step in the direction of forcing manufacturers to allow custom/open source/audited software in all vehicles. If it can be done in some foreign-made vehicles, it can be done in domestically made ones too.

Also note that it says “connected and autonomous vehicles”. If that means two categories, “connected vehicles” and “autonomous vehicles”, it could be quite broadly applied to vehicles that download updates over the air. If it means “autonomous vehicles that are connected” it could be somewhat narrow and an easy work around is to leave the autonomous vehicles disconnected from the internet. I’m not sure how much self-driving abilities are run on servers?

Top level comment is talking about using it for learning. Saying that AI is just regurgitating text doesn’t address that fact at all. In fact it sounds like you were putting down the commentor for using it for learning.

The bulk of your comment was about how poorly it writes code which isn’t what that comment was talking about. At all. So yes, I agree, you should have separated your two thoughts and probably focused the second thought on a different thread within this post. Perhaps at the top level to say it to the OP.

That isn’t what the comment you replied to was talking about so that’s why you’re getting downvoted even though some of what you said is right.

Tiktok is probably used 10 times as much though (users x time on the app) and Temu isn’t spreading messages in quite the same way. Comparing apples and gerbils, whataboutism, etc.

Perhaps, but the point was to indicate OP’s odd assumptions about this community vs the videos one.

Maybe you need flair for the technology community?

Do you actually use their “recommended” view?

Yes, it lists shows I’m currently watching and takes me directly to the next episode.

Do you primarily watch Plex live TV or their other ad supported movies?

No, never.

I would not want my settings affected by the servers I connect to. That would piss me off.

Where do you imagine setting the default?

My biggest complaint is that it defaults to “recommended” instead of “library”… it doesn’t save that view as default unless you go into settings and change it to remember changes.

That’s a pretty minor gripe considering there is a setting for it. Also, given that it’s a you-get-it-one-way-or-the-other kind of setting, they’re always going to be upsetting someone.

I left a lot of options open for improving the article from my original comment, but if you want some more details:

1. Describe the issue and what forms it comes in to clarify the issue.
2. Do a thorough analysis of posts and comments on Reddit (and maybe some other forums, just a thought) to try to get some numbers to indicate how often it happens and what the different causes are.
3. Maybe create a survey to try to ascertain some numbers. Reach out to a statistician for some help on how to do that.
4. This is a “Senior Editor” at Android Central and they don’t have a single connection to an expert in phone technology. They exhausted all the possible experts out there and didn’t get any responses? Honestly, this means they either don’t know how to write a letter to get an answer from experts, don’t have any compelling data to interest an expert enough to expend their time, or didn’t actually try very hard, or all of the above.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ indeed.

This article is not very helpful. It doesn’t clarify what is meant by the term “green line of death”. Does it brick the phone? Does it make the phone unusable? Is it just annoying? Does it include red lines? Blue lines, black lines, rainbows?

It presents anectdotal evidence of it having happened a lot, but doesn’t give any real numbers. There’s no analysis of the information they do have to say if it’s more often a hardware issue, a software bug, or caused by damage. There’s no indication if there was an attempt to ascertain how often it happens within the warranty period, or if occurrences increase with phone age.

Interviewing a couple friends and a “quick reddit search” is not investigative journalism. The writer didn’t hear back from manufacturers or industry experts, and gave up. So they interviewed a couple more “nerd” friends. Ouch.

I’ll just quietly leave this here: https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/crowdstrike-google-cloud-expand-strategic-partnership/

I didn’t say I confused it with something else. I didn’t imply anyone would confuse it with something else. Congratulations to everyone who already knew what it was.

Fuck this article for never saying what AOSP stands for.
