Некоторые области удивительным образом игнорируют прогресс в других областях. Для меня самым характерным примером являются, пожалуй, бортовые компьютеры автомобилей.
Вчера я ехал на такси Комфорт+, это была вполне приличная и не старая Kia Optima. Водитель параллельно со своим телефоном включил встроенный навигатор, и он ожидаемо оказался очень плох. Мало того, что даже близко не адаптирован под Россию, с убогой не детализированной картой, так ещё и жутко тормозил: FPS анимаций в районе 1-2.
Потом я вспомнил, как мы с друзьями в Москве брали в каршеринге Genesis G70 — Южно-Корейский автомобиль премиум-класса с ценой от 2.5 млн рублей. И там стоял адаптированный бортовой компьютер под управлением Android. Надо ли говорить, что скорость его работы была настолько необъяснимо отстойной, что даже самый дешманский ноунейм китайфон справился бы с задачей навигации лучше?
Каждый раз, когда я вижу экран бортового компьютера автомобиля, я будто смотрю через маленькое окошко в прошлое 20-летней давности. И по скорости работы и по функциональным возможностям всё поразительно плохо. Можно оправдывать это якобы безопасностью (сторонний софт нельзя ставить, чтобы он не мог повлиять на движение автомобиля), но на деле эти цепи легко разделяются: двигатель и важные узлы в одном месте, а навигатор, информация с датчиков, климат-контроль — в другом, на другом процессоре с другой областью памяти.
Автомобильная промышленность в целом довольно консервативна. Поэтому большинство серийных моделей выглядят одинаково скучно, о каких-то крутых новых функциональных фишках мы слышим раз в десятилетие, а какие-то изобретенные полвека назад вещи до сих пор есть далеко не в каждой модели (например, парктроники). Но иногда до абсурда доходит: в тачке за пару лямов компьютер хуже, чем китайский планшет за десятку.

Hey everyone! I have a major update with regard to all that I owe. I just wanted to completely compile my large list (besides Kiki thank-you headshots, kofi sketches, and fursuit work, for now) so that I can be transparent about the major list work that I owe and give a perspective of how much I'm juggling. Here it is; and I apologize for becoming so backlogged. It is really embarrassing, and I feel ashamed, but I genuinely can't help what life throws at me. I just hope that's a valid reason. Thank you ALL for being incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive despite this. I am so grateful beyond words.
#updates Hey everyone!
I've been going through the ringer lately and I apologize for slow progress and halted work on list comms.
Lately I've been just trying to raise money for Kiki, take care of Wiggles, and tend to my boyfriend and myself.
Earlier this evening, I learned that my aunt doesn't have much longer to live, so I'm understandably upset and concerned. She has been struggling with Parkinson's and injuries for the past year, but her condition worsened over the last couple days.
Just wanted to keep you all in the loop, because this will definitely affect everything work wise. I'm visiting her for probably the last time early next week with my boyfriend and dad.
I'll keep you all posted. Would you prefer updates here or Twitter? I'd love some feedback on that so I can reach people better and make sure these sorts of messages are delivered.
Thanks everyone for your kindness, patience, love, and support.
Hey everyone! I am so sorry for lack of updates this week. #updates
I've been going through the ringer lately. Just trying to survive day to day mostly. My head hasn't been right and my heart hasn't been well. Today was extremely bad in terms of my housing situation, so I'm thinking of taking it relatively easy until I get my heart re-checked next Wednesday.
After that and probably some medication adjustments, I should probably be good to go. I just don't want anything bad to happen since heart disease runs in my family and I live in a very high stress environment as it is.
Thank you all for understanding. There are good things on the horizon; I just need to make it there first.
#updates Hey all!
Bit of a health update and how it's affecting everything.
Lately my memory and cognitive function/abilities have been poor and lackluster. I'm rather overwhelmed in my daily life and I think that's what's contributing, along with my mental illnesses too.
I've been having a lot of trouble with processing, memory, anxiety, heart palpitations, and stress.
I am still trying my best to do work as I can however, and I see my two main doctors for physical and mental health on the 1st and 2nd of Aug. So, there are promising solutions on the horizon.
But, even so, I am concerned for my well being right now. Constant stress is never a good thing, and living in this environment has been extremely painful.
I think ultimately I'll be all right - I'll be taking it easy and working as I can until my appointments. Thank you all for your understanding, patience, support, love, and kindness. It makes me feel so happy and hopeful.
I'll talk to you all soon. 💙
Hi everyone!
I wanted to give an update. I apologize for the radio silence here and everywhere, mostly. I've been having some issue with stress and it's been taking a toll on my heart and sleep. My heart has been going fast and has been hard to calm down recently and I have been getting little/bad quality sleeps.
I'm mostly just trying to make it through my days and nights and take care of my heart and anxiety. I'll be doing work as I can!
But good news is, I see my doctor in a couple of weeks to reevaluate my heart condition and hopefully I can get some relief.
Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. I want to continue to make art well into the future but I gotta listen to my body to make sure I can ensure that. #updates
