There's zero MS in the stack on anything with SYNC4 and newer. Your salesperson is wrong. Even development is largely done on Ubuntu. SYNC 4 has two front ends, one's Qt which has some Panasonic outsourcing baggage, the newer one is web based. The latter is what's in the Mach-e. Since about 2017 all of this has moved in house. Ford hired the whole BlackBerry mobile R&D org in late 2016 - people, offices and everything. It's had an honest-to-god software org since then.

Your Flex probably had the older SYNC iteration that was MS developed. BTW I'm not sure if it was Windows based or whether it was QNX with MS devs creating the software stack on top of it.

Jesus fucking Christ. And exactly how are they gonna do that? Condition a ceasefire on an election rigged against Hezbollah-friendly candidates?

Late on Friday night, the Israeli army issued a statement alleging that Hezbollah was using medical vehicles to transport fighters and weapons, warning that it would strike any vehicle it suspected of being used for military purposes.

Let's see how long is this line gonna work.

SYNC 4 is QNX, the next gen units like the one in the new Lincoln Nautilis is QNX + Android with some Linux on other ECUs. MS is firmly gone from Ford vehicles.

Looks straight out of Toronto QEW downtown.

PFAS, microplastics, airborne plasticizers, and more. You are guaranteed to win the chemical lottery. Not that I'm anti-chemical, that's silly, but I'm talking specifically about dangerous chemical pollution of the environment.

This is scarier than the original.

Valve is doing this? Not Android since 2008?

Heck we know people don't give a shit what's under the covers since at least the switch between Windows 98 and 2000/XP, the latter being a very different OS. It could have been BSD or Linux and people wouldn't have bat an eye if the start menu looked the same and Word, Corel Draw, Photoshop and AutoCAD worked.

I haven't seen any report of missiles targeting populated areas. Only military targets. So I think we can scratch that from the equation. Either they let everything that was targeting the base fall or they were defending it and some got through. Doesn't make sense that they intentionally let some hit the hangars and runways if they were defending the base. I doubt they can tell exactly where every projectile is gonna fall. It's possible that they focused more on the other base that was being targeted. But I find it unlikely that they didn't defend this base given they use it for their F35 fleet. At the very least there could have been enough damage to put it out of service for a while.

It's still only a few reps.

 

Researchers have used commercial satellite imagery to identify more than 30 points where Iranian missiles appear to have impacted an air base in southern Israel.

Based on preliminary calculations of what happened at Nevatim, Lewis believes a substantial number of Iranian missiles may have reached their targets.

Lewis notes that although over 30 missiles landed inside the base perimeter, the damage caused was still somewhat limited. That's notable because Iran is believed to have used some of its most advanced Fattah missiles.

 

BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Lebanese army says that a soldier was killed in an Israeli strike on a military post in southern Lebanon, adding that soldiers fired back at the source of the fire.

It is the first time the army has fired back at Israeli forces since the conflict began a year ago, a Lebanese security source tells Reuters.

 

Folks with vaginas, I'm conducting some family comparative analysis and I'd like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.

 

“Get an application and drop it off (at) one of these companies and start working, you need to start working if you’re healthy — bottom line — if you’re unhealthy, I’ll take care of you the rest of my life, your life, we’ll take care of you,” the premier said.

“But if you’re healthy, get off your A-S-S and start working like everyone else is.”

 

The Toronto District School Board is holding a special meeting on Wednesday evening to discuss a field trip to a protest in support of an Indigenous community last week. According to videos on social media, pro-Palestinian slogans were chanted at the protest.

#onpoli #cdnpoli

 

Is that a thing at all? I doubt it but thought I'd check just in case.

in 1986, mountain bikes were making their mark in Canada, as cyclists swapped out their 10-speeds for more rugged rides. This CBC news segment from The National explores the early days of the mountain biking craze, featuring enthusiasts like Ian K., who traded his Volkswagen-like commuter for an $800 mountain bike, likening it to driving a Porsche. While the trend was just beginning, the piece questions whether mountain biking would remain a luxury niche or become a mainstream activity as prices dropped and mass availability rose. Originally aired on May 26, 1986.

In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.

There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.
