    This is a a business operating to target children to deliver them content they know is inappropriate for them.

    This behaviour is predatory. It shouldn’t be tolerated against children. The content is promoted for children, so it’s reasonable for a parent to assume the content is appropriate for them.





  • It’s difficult to get anything to work on android tv when you don’t sign and don’t enable all the google shit. Even then the privacy statement is still bend over or your tv doesn’t boot past this screen.

    The Apple TV much better.

    It may be better than current android tv because the shield is so old and not been updated in so long.

    Apple TV doesn’t have ads only what’s on when you have the app icon selected. Except inside apps that have ads.

    It’s worse than that, people will argue shipping good code is impossible. Good testing is hard, so it’s avoided for things like unit tests. Something that’s only equivalent to basic QA in manufacturing. Every software functions is a design change and the system needs to be fully validated and tested. That’s means driving the car, and not shipping the code and using the users cars to prove your design.

    Broken software shouldn’t be accepted as much as it is. Especially in safety critical systems like cars, especially when they remove manual controls for things like steering, brakes, hand brakes and door handles. Fly/drive by wire is more dangerous when the software is unreliable. Mechanical linkages fail immediately or take a long time. Bad software fails in uncertain and potentially chaotic ways.





  • Extra components mean more specific hardware to complete each task. This more specific hardware can process the same data often faster and with less power consumption. The drawback is cost, complexity and these compose are only good for that one task.

    CPUs are great because they are multipurpose and can do anything, given infinite time and storage. This flexibility means it isn’t as optimised.

    People are not creating custom code to solve their own problems. They are running very common applications, using very common libraries for similar functions. So for the general user specific hardware for encryption, video codecs, networking etc will reduce power consumption and increase processing speed in a practical way.
