Healthy competition
The bottom just dropped out of Mobileye's world...

This sounds like the latest in worsening interoperability between Goog and other big tech co platforms.
I've not seen any publicity about these two issues, but from what I've seen, Windows has been making a concerted effort to block the use of Chrome browser on Windows 11 by stopping the Chrome app even opening. Here the motive would be revenge for Chromebook taking OS market share off Windows laptops (UK was at 8% in 2020, but now must be closer to 20% and rising).
Secondly, it appears Samsung is also now causing severe glitches in how Chrome displays pages through the One UI making them unreadable - if this is a covert strategy then Samsung have the perfect motive in that Pixel has been threatening Samsung's mobile phone market share in recent years.
Any others experiencing major new interoperability issues?
Just want to vehemently agree on everything you said.
It's insane how badly this area of government and state-funded IT is run compared with high quality private sector firms, even like bigger ones like Endava, or Epam.
Just so sad to think of the effect all this had on people's lives.
Samsung UK is the most inept organisation I've ever worked for in terms of basic IT management. Botched rollouts, uncommunicated rollouts, no ability to handle remote v in-office (Chertsey) working smoothly, etc.
At least til a year ago (possibly still), they couldn't even get company Outlook address books to work properly and safely: staff can't even get an address book name to pop up as an auto-suggest in an email 'to' field because of blocks IT have put on it.
And the SEUK online store team have the most over-inflated opinions of themselves I've ever known in a digital retail business. They got lucky during the pandemic with people coming online to buy stuff and claimed the success for themselves, as if it was down to something useful they'd done.
Continual events like this should land the UK subsidiary LT in court.
Brilliantly put. And they rely on every word to screw you out of every penny of value they possibly can. Trust me (or don't): I used to work for one. They are a bunch of used car salesmen with billions in budget and huge legal teams.
"Samsung reportedly applied "emergency measures" that include limiting upload capacity to 1024 bytes per question."
Samsung's IT security operations are one ongoing "emergency measure" though?
Their VPN capability is a joke, the blocking of copy and paste, the blocking of any upload to Google docs, etc. It's one hard-coded (yet so easily-circumvented) rule after another.
You specialists on here (I'm just a humble tech marketer) would be in stitches if you saw it in inaction (sic) first-hand.
"have confirmed"
Past tense misses the actual dilemma.
It's not Chinese gear right here and now, it's Chinese gear, with all the major investment and operational commitments that brings, for the next couple of decades.
ie. Just because Chinese gear might (assuming you're comment is true) be safe now, doesn't mean the drinking partner chosen for the duration of the pub lock-in won't slip a little poison into the drink any time later on.
"Any employer, in 2023, that is only offering the ability to work from an office..."
Absolutely right. Now the tech is properly in place for video conferencing with fast and reliable BB connections, there's just no excuse.
I was invited to interview today and the HR guy basically told me that they ask people to come in for two days a week but no one enforces it. If he'd told me I'd have to honour that I'd have walked away, simple as, and he knew it.
The labour market is far, far more flexible with remote working; less pressure and pollution in city centres and on transport infrastructure, and healthier life outside work.
My thoughts exactly, Shirley. If users gonna use, bandwidth gonna band. And whatever it means that's a fact.
Also, I thought users already paid for this by paying more for a higher-allowance mobile signal... I hope those naughty telcos aren't attributing mobile usage to fixed line usage - that'd be quite easy to baffle European officials with.
...still one that could conceivably be leveraged without comeback... Google are (perhaps unintentionally) gradually allowing more Gmail spam through into the Gmail spam folder to increase non-paying One/Gmail users' gigab's of storage, causing increasing numbers of users to hit the 15Gb limit so they become more likely to subscribe to Google One at like $2 a month.
...ChatGPT itself isn't strong enough to disrupt Google/search, it's ow quite plain to see that that day ain't far away for AI.
But with the utmost reespeck to other commenters, the massive danger for Goog is not the informational or research/academic aspect, but that ChatGPT (or other AI) proves a better, more efficient and more helpful recommender of products/solutions that people buy and companies advertise.
ChatGPT starts linking to the right product or service at every time of asking and hey presto...
Hang on, by the logic or the last bit of your comment, anything where anyone has a vested interest is not real.
Think we need to wind back the scepticism a little at least until maybe find someone who actually knows about this stuff, or til we learn some facts about tracking via ad platform and first party analytics, before we make our tiny little minds up.
If nothing else, what you'd see is a corresponding increase in on-site traffic and clicks around your website, and actions such as orders or sign ups for whatever service you provide, also going up.
So it's fairly obvious if the ad clicks are genuine. And vast majority of the time, they probably are - if they weren't, you would get group litigation orders and stu... Oh. ;)
Seriously though, these and networks and platforms wouldn't last and wouldn't kept getting used by the vast majority of advertisers if they didn't generate an obvious, measurable effect.
