I think the product is good. But, I won't buy one until Elon either admits to and apologizes for all of his past bad acts, or has no control over the company anymore. Unfortunately, I think neither is likely.
Wayland+sway switch from x11+i3 is so simple and works so well.
Only minor annoying thing not working for me are right-click context menus on some applets like Blueman and Steam.
Nvidia's official drivers have supported Wayland quite well since the 550-series. If you haven't tried it in a few years, now is a great time to give it a spin.
I've been using YouTube.com/tv with a Samsung agent for years. Although I did have to recently switch from abp to ubo because abp stopped playing videos for me.
Imagining that the software will be shipped with hardware, that has no internet access and therefore cumbersome firmware upgrades, might be helpful. Avoiding shipping critical bugs is actually critical so bricking the hardware is undesirable.
This type of testing is incredibly expensive and you'll have a startup run circles around you, assuming a startup could even exist when the YC investment needs to stretch 4x as far for the same product.
The real solution is to have individual software developers be licensed and personally liable for the damage their work does. Write horrible bugs? A licencing board will review your work. Make a calculated risk that damages someone? Company sued by the user, developer sued by the company. This correctly balances incentives between software quality and productivity, and has the added benefit of culling low quality workers.
The kind of relates to proper Engineering titles, unfortunely many countries don't have a legal system in place for those that decide to call themselves engineers without going through the exam, and related Order of the Engineer.
I don't think titles are for anything besides establishing blame. If a company hires someone in a local where the engineer can't be held responsible, the executives and major investors should be held liable. That way things will naturally sort themselves out. Need something unimportant done? Offshore. Have some critical system? Hire someone that can take responsibility.
You don't need formal licensing for this to work, passthrough liability would do plenty. The real sign of success is whether an insurance industry sprouts up to protect software engineers, just like doctors.
Well, I was just listing those as possible tests which could better illustrate the limitations of the model.
I don't have the hardware to run models locally so I can't test these personally. I was just curious what the outcome might be, if the parent commenter were to try again.
Also similar to what Temu, Wish, and other similar sites offer. Picture and specs might look good but it will likely be disappointing in the end.
