What do you expect them to do? Not actively helping your competition is not remotely the same thing as being anticompetitive.

it’s that there are very good reasons to not have these in my car
There’s also very good reason TO have them, as I’ve already explained.
the loud alarm and policeman on the road searching for the stolen car has worked well for decades
LOL no. It hasn’t.
haven’t heard of car theft in… a pretty long time
Right, my mistake. If you haven’t heard of it happening, it must not have happened.
think these tings do exist, in the form of little devices thay you can connect to your car’s OBD port, and they have a GPS receiver and a SIM slot to do it’s job.
…yes, that’s what we’re discussing…
I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.
How exactly does that work with a keyfob…?
I’d like to see a Sankey graph of where Valve’s money goes before I praise them that much for helping out a Linux distribution a bit.
I’d say it’s a lot more than “a bit”. It’s an enormous amount of help that pretty much everyone in the Linux (professional) community can, has, and will attest to.
I don’t agree that they’re a monopoly, because they’ve done absolutely nothing to prevent competition. Other stores do it to themselves.
I do agree though that their fees are exorbitant and their contributions to Linux are a teeny tiny fraction of their wealth, but I appreciate it regardless.
and a way to tell Windows that they could go without them if they don’t collaborate.
Ehhhh it’s a step in that direction. But as long as 96% or whatever of their users run Windows, it’s hardly much of a bargaining tool.
I do think that’s what they’re working for. After all Windows could flip a switch at any time and royally fuck them.
Ah, that makes more sense, thanks.
Because the vast majority of the time it’s correct and often extremely useful.
For example, I spent 20 minutes looking for a solution yesterday with no luck and CGPT spit it out in 3 seconds, and it worked.
Yes, AI will give bad outputs, but if you’re not dumb enough to put glue on your pizza, or not actually verify important information, you’ll be fine.
They can overhaul it and resecure it all they want but it doesn’t matter because no one trusts them, because they’ve been giving you a plethora of reasons not to for decades. And it would take them decades to earn it back, if they actually tried.
I’m so confused. I thought this was illegal?
The OpenAI non-profit will continue to exist and own a minority stake in the for-profit company
Wait what? Are they restructuring to a for-profit or not? They already have a separate for-profit company.
Ai is ruining the internet.
It won’t kill you
It literally will.
Man, I’ll never understand this “car is too hot for me to sit in” to be honest.
Probably because you don’t live in a hot climate?
The interior of a car here can get up to 150 degrees. And the bits and bobs inside can get even hotter. I’ve gotten second degree burns from the seatbelt.
Now imagine you’re out exercising for 3 hours in 107 degree heat. Or working for 6-8 hours in it. Getting in that car might literally kill you.
“Not good enough” = not important to you
“no good reason” = the benefits dont exist.
These are not the same.
Lol, okay. Which one?
LOL literally all of them, unless you’re standing near the car.
Remember that car manufacturers have the ability to put a SIM card in cars.
…and they do. That SIM card is useless without internet…
LOL okay, maybe you’d like to share with the class how any of this works without internet while you’re not near the car?
Or would you just like to insist over and over that it doesn’t while refusing to explain?
what the fuck you do with that information?
I don’t know what “the first bunch” is so I can’t answer that but these are all definitely use while away from the car.
the remaining about the alarm and it being stolen, what are you going to do with this?
Is that a real question? You’re going to figure out why your alarm is going off, and if it’s stolen you’re going to give it to the police so they can recover it…
if you absolutely cannot live without these, you should by an extension that does this
I dunno what an “extension” is but pretty sure it doesn’t exist or can’t do these things.
I think the point is that there isn’t a good enough reason
OK but that’s not what they said.
None of those features require the Internet to work
Yes? They do?
It isn’t. And they don’t.
