Yeah I think car companies should focus less on making cars...
- Your first point is cars - there are a ton of evs for sale from many large companies and direct sale doesn't seem to sell more cars than indirect.
- Tesla is partnering with battery companies just as GM does on the bolt and volt. Nothing special here as their battery business is pretty minuscule.
- Again a niche market that compares to GMs after market crate motor program in revenue and size.
- Self driving tech doesn't belong to Tesla and Google, most luxury car companies had automated cruise systems when Tesla was making the roadster. Gm has a large fleet roaming around Detroit, Chrysler is partnering with Google with their Pacificas, and Ford has a fleet of fusions as well after billions in investment.
The larger point is that elon and his 16 companies seem to do no wrong and avoid comparisons to the existing car companies, he should focus on getting market share in the extremely competitive automotive market instead of making a space/AI/brainlink/tunnel/solar/ev company.
I wonder what the OS and software guys at Apple think about the lack of options in their own hardware department. It must be a little frustrating to be invested into the software as a developer but know that a lot of pro users (people like themselves) are moving away from the platform.
This is nearly the opposite of what I think most people would want. Apple makes amazing hardware, but it doesn't usually support non-OSX operating systems very well. The only reason I can think of for anyone wanting this is for iOS development.
There is a lot of comments in here confused with chromeOS and all the justification for an expensive machine that doesnt really run that much software.
I agree with most of the sentiment and I think they should just keep the nice UI but switch to a debian distro so that devs and some creatives could use all the linux software if they know how to install it. I would use the crap out of a google UI debian distro.
They are likely planning to merge Android and Chrome OS and have been fairly open about that, but I think it's Chrome OS that's getting chopped. Google just added QuickOffice to Chrome OS. That suggests to me that it might already be Android under the bonnet.
It makes sense, too. Chrome OS is essentially an OS that exists primarily to run Chrome on. Google might as well just make that OS Android, which already has Chrome.
