When I duplicate a tab, a new tab is created with the same URL and I have to wait for it to download again. Why wouldn’t Firefox just duplicate all the data of the tab into a new tab?
After writing a massive list of assumptions and trying to explain it with some ridiculously complex reasoning, I realised the simplest reason is any calls to the backend need to be made again incase the data has changed. The response will have a cascading effect of calling functions and setting up event listeners or triggering events.
Obviously there are more reasons but this is the most obvious reason to do it.
In theory yes. In reality it is highly unlikely to the point that you shouldn’t worry about it.
If someone happens to find an exploit that lets them execute code on the host machine or access to memory addresses that aren’t theirs. Then 100% they could infect everything.
Likelihood very low, would have to be the perfect storm of exploit plus permissions plus apples permissions to access stuff being broad enough that it can do what it wants.
If you are super paranoid, your Mac is taking snapshots of your disk in the background so you can always restore back every single time you do something questionable
Ok, calm down. Seems like a bit of an overreaction to link a bad software update for an infotainment system to “countless unknown dangers”
They screwed up, it happens to the best of us. There isn’t a company on the planet that hasn’t made a mistake and rolled out something that is broken.
What’s important here is that they said “yep, we fucked up, we are prioritizing fixing this problem for customers” instead of trying to hide it or blaming the customer for the problem.
If anything Rivian should be applauded for how they handled it and if this kind of thing continues to happen, then maybe we get the pitch forks out.
So if I’m understanding this correctly. If anyone ever rolls out a software update that causes a failure like this it is instantly a sign that the company has a culture that leads to problems. Hard and fast? No exceptions? No one makes a huge mistake, that’s just a mistake that slipped through the cracks?
As for it being connected to the CAN bus, so what? It isn’t some sort of magical system where if something fails all the rest of the connected systems do too. That’s like saying if the monitor on my computer fails and it’s connected to the rest of my computer via the PCIe lanes on my graphics card, then everything else is going to be affected. It doesn’t work like that.
I don’t even have an opinion on the company I just don’t think it’s the end of times because the wrong build rolled out. They fucked up, they owned up to it and based on the response they will learn from it.
If I have offended you, that wasn’t my intent. You seem defensive about what I said but I wasn’t trying to upset you.
I said broken monitors don’t necessarily affect the rest of the system. Just like, you know, broken infotainment systems don’t necessarily affect the rest of the car. Can happen sometimes, doesn’t seem to have happened this time. So yes what you are implying is that magic is happening when it clearly didn’t and to sit here and say it will definitely affect other systems misleading.
People make mistakes, it’s unavoidable but the fact that they are willing to admit it was their fault, shows an attitude of learning and growth and is a welcome change from norm, where companies sweep it under the rug and it costs people lives.
Will they probably grow to a point where they are too big to give a shit, probably. At least for now they are being open and honest instead of blaming the user or a third party.
We don’t live in a vacuum, the world isn’t black and white. Come live in the grey and cut people some slack.

Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week."
Similar case in point: “bimonthly” means “twice a month.” That makes sense....
