The other commenter is on the right track but the chip controls both USB and PS/2 as well as others;

In the 90s and 2000s, for x86 machines, slower I/O was handled by a chip called the Southbridge which worked in conjunction with a chip called the Northbridge that handled faster I/O like IDE and PCI. Later these were integrated into a single chip and, as of recent processor generations, into the processor itself.

AFAIK ghosting and key rollover are issues when using PS/2 but it can offer some milliseconds off latency when used in high cpu games.

No, I don’t think not being able to make change or not stopping touching a screen no matter how many times you are told that it isn’t a touch screen is cultural momentum. I genuinely think that we the older generations have failed Gen Z at a common sense and problem solving level and I very much hope that we don’t keep failing Gen Alpha. I was in school still when no child left behind went into effect and the difference was stark. It was said then that it was designed to create a generation of Republican voters and based on the most recent election it looks like it might have worked.

I think you are making a bunch of assumptions. I don’t have a problem with China subsidizing its own cars the same way we do. I have a problem with the idea that the current authoritarian governments in the west are either going to let our car industries die or adopt the labor practices to try to compete.

Working at a university I have seen some astounding shit; people just barely 10 years younger than me who can’t read analog clocks or make change let alone use a mouse or move a file to a flash drive.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person on Lemmy worried about the car market in China being subsidized into a global monopoly by the Chinese government and labor practices.

I have a clock that has 0 at the bottom, 6 in the 9 position, 12 at the top, and 18 in the 3 position.

It’s based on Wine/Crossover. EXE compatibility came literally decades before DirectX compatibility.

Because it is…

You have to remember that when Clippy was introduced with Office 97 in Nov. 1996 a lot of people were coming to a PC from a DOS era or older machine, typewriter, or nothing at all. Anthropomorphic assistants were all the rage to teach people how to use a GUI for the first time. Admittedly Microsoft took things too far. But for a lot of people who didn’t know the wizards were there the assistants were genuinely helpful.

I have seen people downvoted to oblivion for bringing up things like this in threads about Chinese EVs.

You are clearly only reading the parts you want to read. Have fun.

I posted it because you claimed none of that happened before 2020.

Breakthroughs are more or less of a myth. Everything is iterative.

You seem to misunderstand the ire;

AI in its current state has existed for over a decade. Watson used ML algorithms to beat Jeopardy by answering natural language questions in 2011. But techbros have gotten ahold of it and decided that copyright rules don’t apply to them and now the cat is out of the bag?!? From the outside it looks like bootlicking for the same bullshit that told us we would be using blockchain to process mortgages in 10 years… 10 years ago. AI isn’t just here to stay it’s been here for 70 years.

The text that became Project 2025 has been published every four years or so since the Regan administration.

That’s step two.

Start with Plex and learn from there.

You may be right about the copyrights in the individual unit, but I was talking about the underlying car OS in response to the commenter who said “most car systems run android”. QNX is a real-time operating system which is required for something like a car. Another for instance would be Microsoft Auto which Ford used before switching to QNX.

In general a modern car will have dozens or hundreds of computers running their own software and communicating in a sort of API fashion usually through something like CAN bus. Most of these systems can’t afford to wait on something to boot when you start your car.

In very general terms we are talking about the main difference between an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi.

I was under the impression that a large portion of cars still ran QNX.

Sesame Street is and always has been owned by Sesame Workshop (formerly Children’s Television Workshop). They had an agreement, that I believe has expired, with HBO to allow 6 months of exclusivity on Max before airing on PBS.
