Sure, but there is a prioritization system involved where the highest payer gets pushed first. So the AI may detemine you like X, but if the buyer only showing Y, you'll get to see ads for Y and no X.

It is different. Rules and laws are supposed to make sense, but the one with 10 mph is not. There are limita to 250 kph in Europe and I dont see car dealers going down. Also, for years there are emissions regulators that make life hard for

They are including Eth, not switching to it completely. They will keep the CAN buss there as long as it makes sense. Instrument clusters with graphical display output do use the Eth more and more because the amount of data beats the capacit

SecOC is based on symmetric key cryptography. If an ECU is replaced and has a new key, this key will have to be taught to all other ECU's in the vehicle communicating with it.

Yes they do. First, they normally buy complete electronics (functional devices with or without software), not just chips. Second, they do have strong contracts, spreading for 3, 4, 5+ years, specifying the volumes for each contracted year a

I still feel more connected to the world when I tune into some FM station than when I am listening to some Spotify playlist. Same with TV: even if I watch movies or series on streaming services, I still watch the news almost every day at 7P

Here(1) you have a tracker with (most) fines due to breaking GDPR. In my country there is a local office (all EU states must have one) and all citizens can file online complaints. In 2-3 weeks we get feedback. Real feedback. I have seen ele

Are your really sure this is how it works even for atutomotive electronics? I am involved in the automotive industry, more in tech aspects than in comercial ones, but what I know is: - car makers don't make their electronics. I don&#x2

And more importantly above all, in my opinion, is the profit. A portion of the revenue generate by an employee becomes profit. Lower the revenue (since lower hours) means lower net profit. Giving up net profit is not somthing a business own

For your example's sake, if the work for one job is just a tenth, then it means that for a 5 men job, a manager would need to hire 50 people. The manager would be overwhelmed and add cost to the company by asking for a colleague. It&#x

Maybe your child will be a part of a generation who can have a realm impact over the climate, in a positive way, or maybe just a path to it. And creating more humans is not only a purpose, it is also the means of existence.

In the original article they are talking about Ultrawide single monitor setup. In practice, all ultrawides don't have the same aspect ratio as normal wide minitors (16/9 or 16/10). I have seen ultrawides from 21/9 to eve

Cars kill people in accidents[1]. Guns are used for this on purpose. By your logic, we should also ban food because it feeds the people using the cars and the guns. Guns can still be used in the military, nobody ever argued that (vis-a-vis

Agree. Intel has as much of a problem as VW had after diesel-gate: none. Same will be valid for Apple's throttling scandal. Big corps like this may experience some little storms here and there, but there is no iceberg big enough for th

China is just China even for what car making is. They copy and they have troubles doing that too. They are struggling to implement new emission regulations. They tried to copy something from both US and EU regulations and ended up with an e
