  • There’s two “National” T20 leagues, “minor league Cricket” & “Major Leauge Cricket” (taking names from Baseball’s MLB & its MiLB “farm system” hoping to get recognition from Americans). Many teams, particularly Thos in MLC are owned by the IPL and promoted only to the Sub-continent Diaspora. In my experience similarly the local games is organized for Indians. We had tried to sign my daughter up to play youth cricket a few towns away, the entry form had “preferred language” which included a bunch I had never heard of, and none of them was English. After we went to the first meeting my daughter decided she didn’t want to play (I hope its not so, but the fact there were no other white girls might have had something to do with her decision).

    go over to some US schools.

    yes, in the States Public education and sporting are tightly connected. To get Cricket to take a hold LONG TERM, it needs to be a requirement for Gym Teachers to know before they graduate from college. Then they can teach it in schools and, hopefully, get area schools to sponsor teams.

    Or just LA galaxy the sport

    Even before MLS (Major League Soccer) got started Youth Soccer existed nationwide. In bigger cities High School & college teams already existed long before. Three had been several other attempts at Pro Soccer leagues, and the '68-‘84 North American Soccer League (NASL) did a whole lot more “top down” than MLS ever did (The New York Cosmos paying Pele $1.67 million a year in 1975, when the top Major League Baseball Players where making $150,000) NASL didn’t last, but then again I’ve heard that the GenXers who grew up watching NASL where the one’ for whom Youth Soccer was set up, and who continued to ensure it grew, so maybe you are right?

    Although many Americans still consider soccer a sport for “little kids” or “foreigners” MLS has higher attendance than NBA (National Basketball Association) & NHL (National Hockey League), last I checked, ranking 4th behind NFL (National Football League), NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) and MLB. (Though they still talk as though there are only 4 sports: American Football, Baseball, Basketball & Ice Hockey)









  • yeah, it’s definitely not “developed with Blackberry” yes, it Runs QNX, yes Ford bought a good portion of Blackberry and hired even more of their developers when they opened the waterloo office, as does most touch screen infosystems before GAS. There is near 0 active development on SYNC 4, their first GAS system, 2024 Lincoln Nataulis. Uonnect also runs QNX, and Chrysler is actively d developing their GAS Allison. Pretty much everything GM put out since 2012 ran QNX, Tesla is shitty so I don’t care. I don’t know for certain on the foreign manufactures, but I have no reason to think they don’t have at least a GAS based solution still in the works.



  • No true in the least bit. I’ve worked in automotive for more than a decade, the vast majority of that time in automotive. GM is getting rid of Cp the same reason Apple got rid of Flash, they spend more time investigating issues causd by software that they can’t do anything about and AA/Cp issues are a removed. The project I am on currently has more that double issues with Projection Services than written all other components combined. Nearly half of all vehicle buy backs in North America are because of infotainment issues and like 80% of those are projection issues that are actually caused by the user’s phone. Thankfully I don’t deal with end users anymore, but have you ever tried to tell am apple fan boy that his iPhone is the cause of the problem…
