If you are looking at it from a business perspective, there is little value to fixing a bug that is not impacting your revenue.
Of course, the developers should be determining if the bug may have a greater impact that will or does cause a problem that impacts revenue before closing it - not doing that is negligent.
My experience with AI-driven and AI-assisted development so far is that it has actually enhanced my workflow despite how much I dislike it.
With a caveat.
If you were to compare my workflow to a decade ago, you wouldn’t see much difference other than my natural skill growth.
The rub is that the tools, communities and services I learned to rely on over my career as a developer have been slowly getting worse and worse, and I have found that I can leverage AI tools to make up for where those resources now fall short.
That doesn't work very well on a humid day outside in the summer.
And the payphones in the city I grew up in didn't operate using ground-start signalling, so the paper clip/safety pin/pull-tab/static trick didn't work there at all.
But an innocuous walkman with a cassette tape that had some red box tones on it, with a bonus of having the rest of the cassette available for music to listen to? That worked great.
This was in the late 1950's for me, in the San Fernando Valley where summertime humidity was very low. But a few years later the phone company put shields in the headsets so you could no longer puncture the foil.
I'm old enough to remember payphones being completely ubiquitous (with whole banks of them inside of each entrance for one large department store, usually with one or two more outside), but I'm not old enough to remember the 1950s. :)
I did find one old phone at a state park not too far out that could be tricked by grounding it, but that was in GTE territory instead of the Ohio Bell BOC that I was more familiar with.
Which is mostly insane amounts of debt leveraged entirely on the moonshot that they will find a way to turn a profit on it within the next couple years.
Apple’s bet is intelligent, the “presumed winners” are hedging our economic stability on a miracle, like a shaking gambling addict at a horse race who just withdrew his rent money.
Reading through this reminds me of how bot farms will regularly consist of stripped down phones that are essentially just the mainboard hooked up to a controller that simulates the externals.
When struggling with failing to reverse engineer mobile apps for smart home devices, I’ve considered trying to set something like this up for a single device.
Sure, but it’s a great example of the reason RSS readers are so great. No matter how much you enjoy the work of particular authors - their editorial oversight might make it too miserable to enjoy.
I did not say "people have been murdered", I was very clear and concise in my wording. If you are going to ask a question to argue it, do not strawman people who reply to you.
I know you didn't. I pointed out that people have been murdered over sports betting, thus closing the morality gap between sports betting and war betting.
Just because sports and war are morally different doesn't mean "$verb about sports" and "$verb about war" are morally different. E.g. "reading".
You're 1 for 3 on comment reading comprehension here so I don't think we should continue. Even if you said you agreed with me there's no way for me to know what you think you're agreeing with.
> Case in point, it took 13 years of constant community effort to hack it.
Can you attempt to quantify this effort in comparison to other game consoles? I'm not very familiar with the Xbox scene, but I would assume that there was a lot less drive to achieve this given that Xbox has never really had many big exclusive titles and remains the least popular major console (with an abysmally tiny market presence outside of the US).
As an aside, I wonder if Microsoft's extra effort into securing the platform comes from their tighter partnership with media distributors/streaming platforms and their off-and-on demonstrated desire to position the Xbox as a home media center more than just a gaming console.
>and remains the least popular major console (with an abysmally tiny market presence outside of the US).
TF are you on about? The xbox one of 2013(competitor of the PS4 who got hacked long before) had a ~46% market share in the US and ~35% globally. Hardly insignificant. And any Microsoft Product, even those with much lower market share, attracts significant attention from hackers since it's worth a lot in street-cred, plus the case of reusing cheap consoles as general PCs for compute since HW used to be subsidized. And of course for piracy, game preservation and homebrew reasons.
I again tap the sign of my previous comment, of uring people to stop jumping the gun to talk out of their ass, without knowing and considering the full context.
Of course, the developers should be determining if the bug may have a greater impact that will or does cause a problem that impacts revenue before closing it - not doing that is negligent.
