I can imagine they would be interested in creating features to generate 3d models.

Oh yes, I think this part is easy to see and perhaps even logical. But I also don't think this part is the problem. After all, generating 3d models is primarily a technical consideration. I don't think the technical prowess of software is an issue in this here.

Opencore legacy patcher would be to differ.

Wasn't that said of Benito Mussolini?

Maybe? I wouldn't think that changes the point much.

RFK is absolutely right on a few things, but that doesn't make him an automatic force for good.

Every sapphire (3) I have had has failed. I luckily got one rmaed but that starting freezing my computer after a year.

Switched to XFX Merc 319 6950xt. I hope this serves me better.

Technically you are correct. In practice this is difficult to implement though. If you disagree, please provide a PoC?

It's almost certainly easier than making an ad-blocker-blocker that works for a reasonable amount of time.

For a start, once you do it, it's done.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the most probable and there is no wide spread conspiracy.

Youtube does experiments based on user-agents. I think this is well known and if not, a former Googler just let you know.

In any case, for those who are complaining, it's their website. Either pay or stop using it?

In addition, Google is still run disorganized-bag-of-cats management style and YouTube is so indpendent from the mothership they're almost their own company.

Conspiracy is unlikely purely because Neal Mohan is empowered to tell the Chrome team to pound sand and will do so if he thinks they'd make a call that would damage YouTube's numbers.

Instead of just "stop using it" (pay isn't actually an option here, people who are paying are still getting the delay), let's force them to comply with reasonable antitrust regulation under threat of fines. Or preferably, break them up, youtube shouldn't be part of google and neither should chrome.

Not to mention, if performance with YouTube is slow, there's no clue for users that Firefox is the problem. There's no banner telling you "for faster YouTube performance use Chrome". And it's extremely unlikely that your average user is going to try to compare with Chrome, or even the thought occurs to them. They probably think their ISP just got worse or something.

If this were an actual mechanism to try to get users to switch, it would be an idiotic one.

Seems like @mdasen provided a simple explanation: Money.

I think it's in part that they don't want to seem to compete with Samsung so they have to define themselves as mid tier.

So Waymo/Google winning here in your opinion?

Waymo will have challenges scaling rapidly, but they may be able to get some sort of favorable unit economics and expand more slowly.

Tesla has the scale and for some reason regulators give them a pass. I wouldn't bet against Elon, but we aren't there yet...

Writing off lidar that early is killing Tesla's chances imho. The exec who took that decision should hate himself.

Teslas have no redundancy for their sensors and depend upon unreliable GPS. They have some level of redundant processing, but I've seen FSD disengage because of software faults without anything taking over.

They should never be allowed to run a rideshare service just due to this even if they do miraculously solve camera-only perception and not relying on HD maps.

Could be one about WW2 actually!

Just an FYI here: Google's community support forums aren't well named as their intended purpose is for users to answer other user's questions. For the community to support each other.

For actual support you need a paid account to reach out to.

You could argue that it's badly named and should just be called Google's community forum instead, which is what it really is.

Outside of google employees, who even posts to these community support forums? Simps for Google?

Have you seen answers.Microsoft.com, the most useless support community on the internet full of „independent advisors“ aka Microsoft simps just sending links to irrelevant documentation?

While we're at it, have you seen the Apple ones? 3 year old threads with 100 messages of people saying 'I have this same issue' and zero response from Apple.

Some examples of the subjects of these threads:

- SD Card readers in original M1 Macbook Pro not working

- Bluetooth headphones balance getting messed up randomly (so old someone created an application to automatically center balance)

- Specific Intel Macbooks crashing after using a Thunderbolt dock exactly twice.

All of them with no response from Apple at all and no fixes in sight.

Very fair replies. I didn't mean to call out Google + fans of Google in particular, but rather "Bigco"s and fans thereof in general.

Out of all of them I guess I'm more disappointed in Apple because they have cultivated this aura of superior UX (so that emphasis on UX should extend to when people have problems).. but then again it's largely just an aura.

That's pretty funny and makes sense. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything more from Google. Thanks for the clarification.
