I was on a plane next to an auto qc/electronics (?) specialist once. He told me there are over something like 65 distinct processor units in a car - probably a lot more now with the in-vehicle entertainment systems in place. Effin crazy! A single window does not need its own dedicated processor.* I believe he said they all communicated with each other as well.
* - There is a case to be made for a simple processor controlling some windows, as modern cars have to slightly lower the windows when doors open if there is no top windowframe, which many cars now use. But 1 for each? And intercommunication? No.
He also said he was aware of a big name (Ford?) once ostracizing an engineer because they designed something like the the handle too well, so it would never break. They modified the design to one less rugged.

I suppose they have seen how many things would get broken... and someone had a lucid moment and recommended to stop?

Couldn't be - they've pretty much proven there are no lucid people there.

That's why it was not an affirmation but a question

In a wide-ranging conversation with Verizon open-source officer Dirk Hohndel, 'plodding engineer' Linus Torvalds discussed where Linux is today and where it may go tomorrow. "All these words, I don't just say"
And I leave it to your mind to (possibly) fill in the next line.
Also, anyone shocked it's taking them longer than expected to Rustify the kernel?

The change was spotted in the latest Windows 10 preview builds from the Beta and Release Preview Channels. That'll get them to upgrade!

Maybe if they gave the hardware for free that is compatible with windows 11... that would really make a point.

Microsoft has provided a workaround to temporarily fix a known issue that is blocking Linux from booting on dual-boot systems with Secure Boot enabled. Is it, "Don't do that"?

"Alex" is using the brain-computer interface to shoot people in a video game and design improvements to his setup in Fusion 360. "Train him for the games, let him hope for a while, then blow him away."

I do not give a crap if a guy is using a brain interface to play computer... I am more worried if the computer is learning how we think in a "military" situation due to his brain
Although being voluntary for that... not sure if the brain is the best model to learn from.
