  • The dictionary definition, which also includes one for remembering information that does not require any physical movement, is not the same thing as a vehicle recall. A vehicle recall is about implementing fixes, which have traditionally required being serviced in a physical location even for software upgrades, but there is no reason to have a new word just because the fix can be made remotely. It isn’t like the thing that they are doing is any different than being recalled to a dealership for them to install the software updates.

    Do you think phone calls should be renamed for cell phones because they don’t use physical land line connections?

    Should electric cars be called something other than cars because they run on electricity instead of fossil fuels?

    Who cares where the car is when the recall fix is implemented? It is still a vehicle recall, just handled remotely.





  • Microsoft’s entire business success was taking someone else’s work, building on it, then once they found any level of success they used anti-competitive business practices to become a mega corp and stay that way. The founder is still alive and profiting from the company.

    There is no point in our lifetimes when MS won’t deserve hate for everything they have done, even if there is a begrudging acceptance that they have made changes that make them appear more welcoming to competition.





  • No, I am disagreeing with the idea that you cannot make assumptions based on similarities to other things and must view everything to have an opinion on it. I did not say the video is garbage, but that it is reasonable for someone who has seen similarly click bait titled articles that were garbage to assume this one is too.

    You do realize the very first post in this thread was the poster saying they assumed right? They admitted it was an assumption. You are turning an assumption into a negative review.
