I'm feeling GM puts for earnings report tomorrow morning

Just a guess on my part, but I believe this will account for continued success in Blackberrys licensing division! You will note that both Blackberry and Malikie are both listed as licensors in Avanci's WiFi6 Program. That program (on Sept 26) named Ford and GM among new licensees, but also said that 3 additional companies would be announced soon! Their website has now added Volvo and Renault leaving at least one more to add. In parallel, Malikie has brought litigation to Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Stellantis regarding (but limited to) WiFi patents. It would appear that Hyundai has settled as the case against them has been dropped. Could this make them the fifth company about to join the Avanci group as part of the settlement or protection against future litigation? If all this is actually the case, one might assume the other automotive companies (Honda, Toyota, and Stellantis) may very well just follow suit. In short, if one attributed Blackberrys windfall licensing revenue last quarter to the joining of Ford and GM. What will adding Volvo, Renault and potentially Hyundai add? Also will the others follow? The other additional point is that if all this is benefiting Blackberry's bottom line, what are the implications for Malikie's bottom line considering Blackberry will get a chunk of that too!!!

GM from NW 🇬🇧! Have a gr8 day all. Let’s goooooo! 🚀🚀🚀🔥💥📈🤑🍻

I lost 280k. But I wasn't trading. It also wasn't 96% of my portfolio (like 15%). Bad month for semi's. What the hell are you doing? Leveraging everything you got!!! I've done options ocasionally but they are small relative to my portfolio. And I only use them when I feel like I have a huge edge and even then I'm occasionally wrong. FYI, I like them when I know there is a binary outcome by a certain date and that binary outcome is pretty well predictable. Ex. Buying puts on the Russian economy (through a Russian economy etf) just before the invasion of Ukraine. Biden had been saying the invasion was imminent and he was going to target their economy if they went forward with it. Or buying puts on Nikola after they were caught with fraudulent truck and knowing GM had to decide to move forward on letter of intent to invest in them or not by a certain date.

WDC is undervalued, they have all the hyperscalers locked in LTAs for the next couple of years and their P/E is below 14 at the moment, which to me is crazy considering they make almost $4B/qtr with 50% GM. News about Toshiba supply increase spooked the people who do not understand the HDD industry, their market share is only in the teens while both WDC and STX get over 40% market share. Toshiba doubling its volume would barely make a dent on the hyperscale demand upside that is currently underserved.

GM spends 3 billion on advertising and they have to. Tesla spends zero on advertising but something similar on the Roadster development but the world took notice. Free advertising that’s the plot.

**From QNX site in June 30th 2926** Current Core members: [**https://covesa.global/about-covesa/#current-members**](https://covesa.global/about-covesa/#current-members) **Volvo, BMW, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Karma, Nissan, Traton.**.. with many other tier/suppliers included in the link One of the main bullets below that I think is important is "**QNX has actively contributed to the VSS specification and presented this work through COVESA webinar and All Member Meeting presentations.**" + the Why we are doing this part Also.. they have [COVESA All Member Meeting l October 28-29, 2026 | Novi, Michigan](https://www.eventleaf.com/Attendee/Attendee/EventPage?eId=Y4gVxssY84Tu9BHzDMFEgA%3D%3D#) ....The QNX team isnt going to build something for their Auto customers unless they have been asking for it - based on John Wall's interviews of the brands coming to QNX of needing help with various items. For them to Call out COVESA several times for this positing, it must be very important/great advancement. **From QNX website::** At the heart of the project is the **QNX POSIX Publish Subscribe Service (QPP)** — a QNX file system resource manager that exposes data through a standard POSIX file interface. # Why This Matters for Developers We designed this project with a clear set of principles: * **Zero new APIs to learn.** By relying on the POSIX file interface, we've eliminated the overhead and complexity associated with learning and managing yet another proprietary interface. Developers can interact with signals programmatically or from the command line using tools they already use every day. * **Standards-based signal model.** When used as a Signal Service, **QPP relies on the COVESA VSS** — a widely adopted open data model that [standardizes how vehicle signals are structured and shared across systems](https://covesa.github.io/vehicle_signal_specification/). **QNX has actively contributed to the VSS specification and presented this work through COVESA webinar and All Member Meeting presentations.** * **Source abstraction that scales.** The Signal Framework decouples your application code from the underlying data transport. Whether your signals originate from CAN, SOME/IP, simulation, or playback, your client code doesn't change. This dramatically reduces rework when moving between development, testing, and production environments. * **Extensible by design.** Need to connect to a new data source? Build a Signal Connector. Need to expose signals to a new target system? Build a Signal Adaptor. The framework is designed to be easily extended. * **Built-in simulation and playback tooling.** The project includes tools for deterministic testing without requiring real hardware — enabling faster iteration and earlier validation. # Why QNX Is Doing This This release reflects a deliberate strategic choice — not just a code drop. * **We are democratizing technology adoption and accelerating time-to-market.** We've learned a great deal through developing this technology and contributing to industry standards like COVESA VSS. By open sourcing QNX POSIX Publish Subscribe Service, we’re making those learnings immediately available to developers without licensing barriers. * **We are fostering an open and collaborative ecosystem.** The industry benefits when the data format for signal sharing is standardized. COVESA VSS plays a key role in enabling that interoperability across the ecosystem, reducing fragmentation and accelerating innovation. By releasing this under the Apache 2.0 license, we’re reinforcing our commitment to open, commercial-friendly collaboration. QNX has been the trusted foundation for mission-critical embedded systems for decades. Open-sourcing this project is a natural extension of that commitment to both developers and the industry.
