Actually the EU rules aren't stricter.

EU allows room to significantly change flights without refunds. This new ruling does not and requires a full refund be given.
EU does not force compensation automatically. You said it yourself, you weren't even told compensation was an option on your flight.
EU does not put a time limit on how quickly compensation needs to be processed. It's taken me sometimes months to get the compensation, here they require 7 days.
EU does not mandate compensation for delayed baggage. This one does.

Where the EU is ahead is in the intercontinental flights being 4 hours vs 6 for the US rule, and by specifying the exact nature of compensation.

All you've done is shown you're surrounded by like minded people. You're not an industry trend. See the thing is your opinion (and mine) are irrelevant. Games are still being developed. Hardware is still being developed. Actual people with actual financial stake in the concept disagree with your opinion of the industry. That shows great alignment to the fact that you are the outlier, not me.

The Quest 2 was very limited by hardware. Yeah I agree a lot of the Quest 2 baked in games were novelty toys, but the beauty of it is ... you don't need to restrict yourself to the Quest. PCVR has a world of excellent experiences, some of which are AAA, e.g. HalfLife Alyx, After the Fall, or just some arcade style fun games that don't feel novelty at all like Robo Recall.

Yes and no. Automatically does sound like a step up, but the "and provide detailed info about the flight" is not a thing. You typically just give them your flight number and be done with it. I've been through this process a few times. The only time it has every been in any way complicated is when I was rebooked by the airline to a non-partner airline which then also turned out to be delayed and then KLM and TAP spent months bickering about who would pay me.

And yes there's lost / damaged luggage rules in the EU as well, maximum compensation limit is 1300EUR. That said this law seems to be more strict with its 12 hour window. AFAIK there's no legal mandate for delayed luggage in the EU, just lost or damaged.

You bought it Early Access. You don't get to consider your purchasing decision as a promise of the future. If you sunk more than two hours into playing it then you got some entertainment and your money's worth. Early Access is a risk you take to play an unfinished game. And there's no coincidence the abbreviation for Early Access is EA, both are equally likely to be turds.

No. If you want a finished experience, don't buy it in early access. If you are open to an unfinished experience then your ability to refund *after playing for a significant period* should be limited. You got what you pay for. You were entertained. If you weren't, well you should have refunded it earlier.

It seems like they did this only yesterday. https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...

I can't. None of them seem to give a shit. Which is why I as a boy get to decide whether to support violence and exploitation.

A common complaint which completely misses the point. The ideals exist to prevent Wayland turning into X11. A lot of the things given the WONTFIX treatment are precisely the things that architecturally were intended to be omitted from the compositor.

If you need XDMCP then by all means use the software that suits you, but the rest of your points are utter crap. Let's address them:

** You don't agree Wayland is stable? I've never had it crash once. Actually switching to Wayland when X.org was the default in Ubuntu solved a monitor resolution issue I had.
** Wayland supports all chipsets and systems I care about too. What are you are specifically missing? Saying something works as intended isn't a counter claim to something else.
** Wayland breaking apps is by design. Many of the apps that were "broken" required nasty workarounds to get them running on X.org. The overwhelming majority of apps don't care what system you run them on. DEs may care, all major ones have adopted Wayland. Again this was by design. The whole purpose of Wayland was to cut ties with the cruft of the past. This was a very welcome changed pushed forward by the very people who wrote the original libraries (much of the Wayland development team are ex-X11 developers).
** What are you missing in the app world that needs to be Wayland friendly? I have not come across a single app that hasn't worked on Wayland. Not one. Not now, not 5 years ago. I'm sure you have one, but really it's not a scenario common to computing.
** That guy's blog is a good one. It summarises why there are problems with porting and why they were the result of X11's legacy cruft. There are no problems with porting. There's just adapting to simpler ways of doing things, and removing functionality from compositors into external libraries and the DE which never belonged in the compositor in the first place. That blog even talks about how this is all a good thing.
** What needle did you want Wayland to move? It's the default on many major Linux distros and seemingly just works. Personally I'm tired of X11 fanbois who stuck their head in the sand because someone moved their cheese. The X11 people are completely obnoxious thinking that their way is the only true way of doing things, and pretend like the replacement system isn't already more performant while at the same time actively bitching about the very elegance that Wayland brought (just like you did in this post now).

*yawn* okay boomer. - Am I obnoxious? Yes, I treat people with the respect they treat others, and this is all the respect you deserve.

No Windows 11 does not "now" come with adware. That feature is old. It predates Windows 11 itself. Even Windows 10 was putting recommended apps (ads) in the start menu. And the toggle to turn it off and on dates from Windows 10 and was brought over in Windows 11.

I can't wait for the writer to go outside when it's raining and declare "after 40 years in journalism I just discovered water makes things wet!"

Yeah technically it'll be the second one. The NY - Philly line is the only one at >150mph in the USA.
But that said this would be the fastest one.

Weeeeellllll... Maybe Musk should pay attention to the guy: https://www.theregister.com/20...

The point of RTOS is not about time taken to compute, it's about certainty in the computational outcome. It's about knowing that your entire logic processing will take 75 milliseconds and will consistently be 75milliseconds every 75milliseconds for the entire operational life of that device.

Your airbag is an ASIL-D certified device. It has multiple microcontrollers processing in parallel in realtime and is programmed in a language that ensure the defined state of your system is known at every point in its operation (e.g. SysML). You definitely want this to be an RTOS, it's almost a requirement to implement the level of redundancy given in the architectural requirements of the standard.

Useless is the word. You can see the difference in approach from Apple vs Meta in their product announcements.
Apple: spent 45min on the hardware and 10min showing things which are better done on a screen, and 5minutes showing new and novel ideas (albeit with a lack of content).
Meta: spent 5 minutes on the hardware and 55minutes on a gaming showcase.

Content matters. No one puts on a VR headset because they want to feel the warmth of a screen close to their eyes.

Yeah someone doesn't understand how exponentials work for new emerging technology. There will be 100million units sold, but likely in the coming 5 years, definitely not 5 years out of 2014. No technology not even the computer itself had that level of growth.
