The broadband companies have plenty of money to pay for infrastructure; they simply need to stop overpaying their CEOs, and stop asking for handouts.

The US should respond to this as an act of war, as the hackers are supported by or in the employ of China.
The State Department should show some balls on this.
There should also be a protest at the UN.
I use Notepad ++ for notes that don't require screenshots, and Word for how-to documentation with pictures. I've also created wikis using WordPress. Full Adobe Acrobat is helpful as well as Microsoft Visio, depending on who you need to share the information with, and what you need to document.
This is why I propose that Musk be lead captain of the first mission to Mars.
Like in the Green Slime!
It's only unsustainable because too many people have their hands out, and nobody at the top is willing to take a pay cut.
Not once in these conversations has anyone discussed the absurdly high pay given to CEO's. CEO pay should be capped at $1,000,000, because nobody needs to earn more than a million dollars a year. The rest of the money can then go to show creators, while making streaming profitable.
Apple made an announcement several months ago that they weren't going to produce the super-duper M2 with 384gb RAM because the market was too small. I have no idea how large the Mac Pro market is, or what type of expansion cards someone might want to put in an expandable Mac.
How does this best the Oculus/Meta Quest and the Microsoft HoloLens? It's designed for AR not VR, so you shouldn't get nausea while wearing it.
for VR, yes. but not for AR.
I'm not only disappointed in Apple's Vision Pro demonstration, I'm almost angry - because more than anything, it demonstrated that Apple does not understand the purpose of AR. Nobody is gonna wear goggles to FaceTime chat or surf the web or heaven help us, build documents in Pages. What AR does is provide a LAYER in front or behind what we're looking at, wherein we can view CONTEXT. For example, showing a doctor a patient's vital signs as he's performing a delicate surgery, or giving directions to a parts-picker in a large warehouse. Call of Duty gets it right -- showing a map of the battleground and notifications for where things are happening. But watching a movie against the clutter of crap against my living room wall? NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
The cost of the Vision Pro goggles is incidental -- it's not really that much money, if it's providing a method of doing things that cannot be done as well another way. Apple did not show a single benefit to using AR to perform a task better than if you were sitting down in front of a screen (or three) with a keyboard and mouse -- except if maybe you're providing a method for the differently-abled to navigate the internet. Let's hope that some enterprising developers can create apps worth buying a nerd helmet to use, because Apple gave us little reason to want AR -- and why am I angry? Because it sets the technology back. Common folk watching the Apple demonstration will ask, "Why the hell would I ever want to do that?!" - which was precisely my finace's reaction.
Lastly, I get why spatial audio is important to a VR experience. As a longtime user of Logic, I'm excited about having the ability to create surround-sound audio for some kind of virtual world experience. But how is that important to AR? Much of what will be done in AR involves having an awareness of the real world around us -- and spatial audio is simply a distraction for that use case, not a benefit.
I can't wait to look up how to do something in a manual written by AI, and it explains the wrong way to do something.
then I contact the company on the internet and the chatbot tells me I'm wrong.
Does this mean we could make large flags made from this material, with nanometer holes, that send electricity down the flagpole?
It's not only that the rocks are hard, there's more gravitational pressure, which is a big issue when it comes to drilling deeper.
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.
