How about they get it right, in the first place?! Imagine car manufacturers getting away with non-working brakes, and you'll just put up with it until you buy the next model! They're forced to get it right, at their expense. I'm reminded of a scene from one of the Bond films from 1997, Tomorrow Never Dies. The supervillain is having a teleconference with his lackeys: Supervillain: Are we ready to release our new software? Lackey: Yes sir, as requested it's full of bugs, which means people will be forced to upgrade for years. Supervillain: Outstanding! I reckon the author was having his revenge in writing that scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm4Rll9axkQ -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
