I used the qwen 3.6 models and convinced myself to go ahead and get a gpu. I got the 7900 xt with 20 gb vram.

I was building a pc and the ai was hellbent on saying either the cpu pins are bent or motherboard is faulty. Both giving me a panic attack. The solution came from updating bios which i had done so ai ruled it out. But the shop owner did the bios update again and it worked

And the bb10os was based on this. I still use it and it’s the ultimate phone that supports few android apps still.

I hope you don’t end up diagnosing issues on the highway.

Exactly. And there’s a huge community of the old Blackberry qnx device owners as well still trying to survive.

Does this mean QNX supports at least some of the Apple software?

Seems like QNX was hiding in plain sight as a car os and a mission critical os for other devices.

As someone who still uses a QNX phone, the Blackberry Q10 as my second phone, I’m not just optimistic for the return of the cross-platform and secure os, I’m rooting for it. Especially for portable Linux handhelds. If Blackberry were to release a phone tomorrow, it would instantly be the most secure android phone. I still run some of my favourite android apps on my BB10os via the android translation layer.

Some comments mentioning QNX can run Swift code makes me think of it could also run iPhone apps.

While Blackberry exited the phone market, I’m surprised to know QNX is still the most popular os for cars. With 275 million devices running it atm.

DVDs and BluRay should definitely be much more mainstream. They can save you tons of money on cloud storage. I keep hundreds of GB of old video lectures series, books and more on DVDs and plan to move to a Bluray setup soon.

I got my name wrong in the drivers card and never went to correct it. However most of the problems the problems there were administrative not software. I agree both irctc and upi come to mind first as the successes. Insurance, could be a particular company as i never faced such problem. Websites for Tax filing and even starting an msme has been smooth.

The point is not that the growth of IT spending is bad. That was just to show the scale of spending. The point of the article is that, a billion spent on software could well lead to a loss of hundred billion.

Nothing against the company but I'm waiting for the tech to get backlash. I have a feeling people are going to want to end the techno autocracy and so-calledb advancements that go on to become weapons while people continue to go back to old ways and learn old skills that prove to more useful.

Can IPFS or torrent and large local databases decentralised by people be a solution to this? I personally have the resources to share and host TBs of data but didn't find a good use to it.
