My phone and Linux PC's now all do this. Primary partition in use. Updates apply to secondary partition. At next reboot, load the updated partition.

It's so much better that the alternative, I can't wait for Windows 14 to adopt it.

    Anacdotaly I suspect most car software bugs aren't hunted or patched at all, unless an exec at the company happens to run into the bug in their personal vehicle and flags it for the development team to fix.

    I've heard too many stories of car software issues where the dealer gives it back with a note "reset the battery and tested good" but the bug is still easily reproduced.

    Not android, actually it's WebOS which Palm developed first on their Pré line of smartphones before being bought out and then subsequently destroyed by HP. HP sold the OS to LG who has been putting on their TVs ever since.

    WebOS was way ahead of it's time and actually did a lot of things that both Android and iOS later copied years later.

    Can't. He owns an huge majority of the shares, and got some crazy stipulation that his shares are worth 10x votes.

    The board has no power, and neither do shareholders. One of many reasons to steer clear of the stock as well as the NASDAQ 100 fund.

    Seems unlikely unless the bubble survives another 5+ years. My guess is power companies are taking AI contracts and cash now, promising to add capacity later, and then when the bubble pops they will shrug, say no more capacity is needed, and give the CEOs a huge bonus.

    Linux only needs to hit a "small but not insignificant size market" for the large publishers to start supporting it. They won't support it if they lose money doing so, but if it continues to grow eventually they will lose money by not supporting it.

    Steam machine should provide another bump, just like steam deck.
