Yet its own README says "vive code a real product".

I'm sure that's not how it would go.

The current control system dates from the early 90s. They started rolling a modern system with more redundancies and automatic blocking in 2022 but it's still not fully deployed.

That all is true, and furthermore the AVE train was running way above the 30 kmh limit set when the automatic control systems fails. The only way this accident could happen is if someone violated every existing procedure.

Concretely it absorbed an excess of male heirs so they could live a comfy life and would not try an hostile takeover over their elder brothers' state.

Because it failed to move forward when instructed, or so it seems.

Both accidents involved Iryo, a Italian operator that started running high speed trains on Spain a few years ago. Given how small their fleet is, it's weird that they have been involved in every recent accident, but at least the Adamuz one was clearly the fault of the tracks and not the trains.

It's also a maintenance issue. The automatic control systems were offline and that's why they were manually controlling the trains.
It really sucks but there is no other widely supported standard for in-app purchases. Some services refuse to use credit/debit cards payments for some reason.

My guess is that someone was instructed to generate "random bytes" and just did 'char secret = rand()' or something similar.

You should add the entire JS runtime you have to ship along React to that attack surface.

Has anyone ever downloaded Raid Shadow Legends?
I think that's because /e/os also distributes App Lounge [1], which can connect to Google Store and handle payments (most of the time).

I'm really surprised VKD3D works out of the box. So many abstraction layers stacked on top of each other feel like a jenga tower on the brink of falling.

Harmony is just another closed-down ecosystem controlled by a single company. It's already worse than Android with its late source releases.

You are pretty much describing the Renault 4/5. They still carry a big screen but everything vital can be controlled by buttons and switches around the wheel.
How could you tell apart the legit arrow pointing to the download button from all the fake ones?

Windows 7 fixed Vista a bit, but the Aero windows were never pretty and the non-Aero decorations were painfully obvious a placeholder.
