My plan advertises "up to 50 Mbit/s" on a 4G connection. I was getting less than 1 Mbit/s a lot of the time. Websites and videos would not load properly.
I downloaded the app of the german ministry that allows you to take speed tests and file a complaint. After multiple weeks of measuring connection speeds on the cellular network, I was able to file a complaint.
What did the provider do? Did they put your IMEI onto some list of other customers that complained, where all of you get better network prioritization?
That adds roughly (6.674e-11(m^3)(kg^-1)(s^-2) * 5.972e24kg * 0.004kg) / (6380km + 420km) = 234kJ. So 355kJ total. That's 5.9kW over 1 minute, or 590W over 10 minutes, etc. It's 10^5W over 3.55s, not several minutes. So either the power is incorrect or the time is incorrect.
+1 - this resonated with me. For 25 years I have been an aspiring songwriter and it’s a constant battle against perfectionism and learned/imagined standards. I believe the right path is to just write a large volume of songs at a high rate no matter how bad they are, but that is an amazingly hard thing to let yourself do
Then it sounds like Firefox has the "restart page" to mitigate this exact edge case. Better than having undefined behavior like that imo.
As I get it from other comments, this is not a problem with the built-in updater (as on Windows). On linux, when updating via package manager, you should now this can be an issue with any program. Yes, most programs survive running while being updated, but for a complicated piece of software (like a browser) this behavior is understandable.
On linux I use kill -9 before any update, on the parent of ff's entire process tree. Works for me every single time, reliably getting my tabs back without the need for any extension.
I don't think anyone has the need to check such a message for grammar or spelling mistakes.
Even then, I would not rely on a LLM to accurately track this "evolution of language".
> Won't this also forbid virus scanners that quarantine files?
Yes. If I really _want_ to execute malware on my device, I should be allowed to do so by disabling the antivirus or disregarding a warning.
> I don't think it's reasonable to expect any manufacturer to uphold a warranty if making unlimited changes to the system is permitted
It is very reasonable and already the rule of law in "sane" jurisdictions, that manufacturer and mandated warranties are not touched by unrelated, reversable modifications to both hard- and software.

I agree.

Do you have any examples of such jurisdictions? I think whether this is reasonable turns on how "reversible" is interpreted. If it means "reversible to factory settings", including wiping all built-in storage media, then it seems reasonable to me that manufacturers should support this (possibly modulo some extreme cases like cars that have dozens of CPUs). But I would not be happy with having my hard disk wiped if I sent in my laptop for repairs because a couple of keys stopped working, which tells me that (to me) there remain at least two classes of "problem that should be fixed for free under warranty by the manufacturer".
