If apple made cars

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

they would automatically crash into cars that weren't apple. with apple cars on the road they behave perfectly. you'd have to buy a new one every time they repainted the lines on the road. they're so shiny they'd blind other drivers you can only fit in them if you're exactly 180cm tall, and if you complain to apple they tell you to be a different height.

There is an amusing science fiction short story from many years ago that describes a world where cars are limited by design to the roads built by the car company. So many problems like buying a car that will work on the roads between your house and job. And cross company agreements that allow more expensive cars to travel down other companies roads. I think there was a discussion of after market addons to allow cross road travel as well. I think the story was told from the perspective of a car dealer and how he was trying to show how his car was the best to a reluctant customer.

I hate all operating systems with the possible exception of QNX, but Apple hardware in particular is hateful. And considering how many problems I've had with several different people's Apple products in the past week, 1 dodgy update from a mid cyber security firm hardly rates, even if the blast radius was stupid. That's not windows' fault. That's "imma put all my software eggs in one basket, what could happen?" fault.

Only a little OT. Around the millenium I helped administer some QNX based systems (VISA VAPs). Absolutely loved it. But they had their own Y2K bug! The standard c library definition of year in the time struct was "CE year minus 1900", not "CE year % 100", and the
lsfile dates reported year 100. Cosmetic issue only, but amusing. Probably occurred in a bunch of other *nixes too.Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

I'd be interested in hearing why you hate all operating systems with the possible exception of QNX.

Turns out it wasn't a Microsoft issue. It was a kernel component installed by CloudStrike that was causing this issue. Not sure why CloudStrike is even using kernel level components.

Yes. Instead of a real knob, there would be a picture of a knob on a touch screen that behaves nothing like a real knob!
Which you would slide back and forth.

Early in my career, Serge, a middle management guy whom I also respected for his technical knowledge, told me that he sometimes had to deal with this kind of thing: Serge: I want 2+2=4 on the screen. Developers: We can do it, but it won't be elegant. We have to rewrite the operating system. Is that what you're talking about? :-D

Someone could easily adapt that story to try to convince people that it's a good idea to have bicycles sharing the same streets that were initially designed for car use. Oh wait. There's already such a group of people.
The pedestrians were there first. In some areas here, signs say that bicycle can use the whole lane.

One of the very few software adjustments I had to make for Y2K was to have our UI show the year as 00 rather than 100 -- DEC (ANSI) C on OpenVMS. And the DBAs had to alter some Oracle reports, if I recall correctly, to use RR rather than YY for the date.

Surely not OpenVMS. :)
