Bringing CI/CD mindset to cars is probably not a great idea. Software updates to commuter vehicles should have a high bar for operational standards, and a simple thing such as an expired certificate should have never been deployed. Having isolated networks in vehicles helps but doesn't prevent broken updates from, eventually, bricking the cars.

Innovation means more duds than hits and it should be encouraged at every level. For business critical applications, yes, there should be a well defined path, and in this case, I am sure there is.

People lose their head every time Google sun sets service. In some cases the criticism is well deserved but not in all. In this case, I am sure there is a path forward for the customers. Heck, they even refunded all costs for Stadia. Google goes well above and beyond what is expected in most cases.

It's a shame this is closing. I love this program and more importantly, our local school PTO is a beneficiary and will feel the loss of this program.

Having said that, I am sure there are people misusing this and its a burden on Amazon to make sure they are not funding / supporting malicious users. I get it but closing it is not a solution.

Have you considered switching to a non-profit? I am not saying for-profit is bad but you may have more avenues for fund raising as a non-profit.

Alternatively, gofundme for this would be very successful I would assume. You could also think of a some sort of corporate sponsorship. Corporates can write off for supporting program like this. Again, non-profit here would help a lot.

> better off without it

Umm ... No. This blanket statement is certifiably false that it only applies to a company running maybe 1 or 10, or at most 100 physical machines. My work needs across the world presence, networking, fault tolerance and a boat load of storage and compute. I cant shift all those to on-prem or a cheaper, alternative provider.

I was there when this happened. So many short term decisions to boost stock price, company objectives focussed on market cap than innovation etc. It was very painful to see in from the inside, first hand.

CGI should be a tool to tell a well crafted and well narrated story. Unfortunately, CGI has become the driver for how a movie should be made. Once it becomes the only tool for telling the story, everything else falters. CGI should absolutely be used to support making a good movie but a movie should not be defining the scenes and the movie.

I want one for my desk, its sold out.

More fluff from Intel - over promise and cancel after 2 years with nothing to show for that investment. They should focus on rebuilding their core capabilities - manufacturing and design. Let others sell the integrated systems, you focus on improving and innovating the components.

Just in time manufacturing contributes a lot to this shortage. We rely so much on integrated supply chain logistics, the pandemic clearly brought in to focus the "optimizations" of JIT manufacturing. The lack of local supply pools as buffer is so short sighted.

They did try replacing faulty cells and modules before the full recall, even though other manufacturers using the same LG cells were doing a full recall and replace. They also tried software fixes. I dont know enough to understand why it did not work.

You cannot have choice without fragmentation, you cannot complain about lock-in without wanting choice. Choice and fragmentation go hand in hand, and customers get to decide who wins and who loses.

More choice is always a win for the customers. Customer can get to decide who is providing a better quality of service and go with them instead of the current situation of having one choice forced down their throats because the vendor decides that is whats best for the customer.
