The Qt Company Details The Graphics Stack Changes With Qt 6.0

And BMW is Motor Works from Bavaria (or smth like that).

Bayrische Motorenwerke = Bavarian Motor Works, so you were very close.

Volkswagen means more something like Car for the people

The name Audi was invented when the founder sold his first car company named after himself Horch. He could no longer use his name for the second one, but simply translated it into latin, as Horch is (outdated) imperative form of hören (to hear) and Audi was born.

A more ambitious example is Nikon, abbreviated from Nippon Kōgaku, i.e., "Japan Optical"

And LG used to be short for Lucky-Goldstar. That's east asian naming sensibilities crossed with English for you.

I thought Qt 6 was supposed to have some special JavaScript to native compiler or something to make Qt Quick less of a drag? Did they decide it was too much work and forgot about it?

Even Mozilla isn't The Firefox Company.

Yeah I'm not convinced there, since Mozilla was the original project, not [s]Phoenix[/s] [s]Firebird[/s] Firefox.

(How does strikethrough work here?)

Bayernische Motor Werks --- I think that I have that right. I am an expat working in Bayern and I drive a used BMW. (Bavaria is the "English" name for Bayern, or more correctly Freistaat Bayern.)

And this post has nothing to do with QT6. There is a gas station chain in the US called QT (Quik Trip), but there are more than 6 of them.

Thanks for the correction on BMW.

Gonna ignore them until they change the name. Qt Company sounds sooooooo retarded. Imagine Whirpool being called Washing Machine Company. Audi could be "Car Company". Exectrolux is the Fridge Company. WT flying F.

... you know that the word "fridge" come from the company named Frigidaire which was bought by Electrolux, right ?

Mozilla is literally the name of the software they were developing before Firefox

I'm going to add this to my collection of posts I use as an example as to why I call this a forum full of schizophrenics when I describe this place to people.

And I really hate you all. I swear you make it a competition to see how stupid you can be, like it's a challenge to you.
