You pushed them over the edge to needing to publish the numbers 😉

It's already been shown to them how cars can be completely taken over via the internet. I think the cellular vendor in that case turn on a firewall that disabled this - for now.

That has nothing to do with a standardized OS system to run vehicles.

I was mainly referencing Johnhooks comment about not trusting car companies that much.

I agree that this project can only be a good thing - hopefully more manufacturers will join and we will all have safer, more secure systems in our future cars.

But if too many join in, then we will have a single OS and a single point of attack for would be attackers.

Is that really a concern? While there are many versions of Linux, How many servers are running the most popular versus how many cars there?

Seems like it would be a concern of the utmost importance. Creating a single attack target that is primarily maintained by consumers is what caught Windows, right?

Sure, but cars today aren't maintained at all - by anyone.

Nor do most have a single, shared OS or exposed APIs.

I'll give you they don't have a single shared OS, though exposed (sure not over the internet) APIs, it seems there are more exposed that we realize, just most require local access or something like bluetooth.

Is it an entirely new set of commands or is it just prettier than BASH?

What commands are in BASH? BASH has hardly any commands at all. I'm sure they kept using for and the dot and such.

As long as it is "almost" boring, it is still exciting!

Correct. MS account is totally separate from O365 account.

Unless you use the same account for everything. Well, then it is still separate, but seems the same and is very confusing.

Don't ask me how I know. 🙂

not at all, it will refuse to run as we removed a bunch of old code abstracting the file system away to make it all work on Windows. This code was unmaintained, slow and buggy but without it data loss is immediate (rather than just 'likely, at some point').

Good stuff.

I don't have a problem with a numbers game - but when I see things like this I say - em - who cares? A billion users? so what? Now you tell me there are a billion active installs? Or that a billion people have it installed on a device they use physically, now I start to care (but only if those are important numbers to whatever I'm trying to figure out).

But the fact that there are 1 billion plus users of Ubuntu, again - who cares?

Security via obfuscation. I like it!

I'll resurrect this old thread.

Microsoft included OneGet inside PowerShell with Windows 10.

It uses Chocolatey repos, etc.

https://github.com/OneGet/oneget

That's freaking awesome that is uses the Chocolatey repos!!

About 🔥 💩 time and good on MS

It's actually decently straightforward. Just like signing into any product to use. If you are signing in as someone else, you need to be aware of the licensing and limitations and violations that might come with that. MS Office isn't unique in any way here. You pay per user, it actually makes it easier than it used to be.

I meant in general.

Like I use my work account for everything, which I know is a no-no. (And probably the cause of half of this.)

But I have a OneDrive account under it, a ODfB account, a Microsoft account, my XBOX account. Know what I mean?

It could just be me. Probably, probably is.

Oh, the issue is too many accounts from one vendor. Yes, I get that. Although they are a massive vendor and those are mostly unique services. ODfB and OneDrive can't be the same, obviously, one is the office, one is home.

We as partners were told it was going to stop being unlimited.

Wow.. just WOW!

Wonder i that is the one my user got. Didn't go that far to find out. just nuked it from orbit.

That is the biggest question, really. And also, if it was saved as a DOCX or an ODT from LibreOffice.

At this low of pricing, I doubt they will be giving any discounts.
