Yeah, we aren't talking about strapping an infant into the car and having it go somewhere (yeah that would be kinda cool, but we are far, far away from that, maybe once we trust robots as nannies). But no reason a 12 year old shouldn't be able to, with adult permission, ride an autonomous vehicle.

A lot of Oculus tech is actually in its software. It uses predictive head tracking to make the output much more seamless to the user.

I decided to look into it a little bit more.

Apparently the creative cloud is offline applications that while they use online functions they do work offline for 30 days of non conductivity.

Still stupid.

So what happens when they no longer sell their products and you have no choice but to have the Creative Cloud. Should the entire design industry shut down when Adobe has an issue?

We can't necessarily make an artificial version cheaper than we could simply pay people to donate. We can't clone blood cells in a vat yet, and probably not any time soon.

And in reality this is a lot to do with modern paint itself. 20 years ago your car would have rusted out very fast because you never cleaned it.

Donate the hardware or sell it, sure. But wasting thousands of man hours in order to "save the environment" is wasteful ecologically in the long run because is leads to greater energy, paper, and food waste in the long run.

Agreed, they should keep whatever MSWord licenses they are currently running. There is almost no need to upgrade Office unless you need more than the maximum Excel row count.

Honestly, this is the solution. Unless you and your coworkers are working for free, the man hours you will waste on transitioning and people having issues with the new machines, be it not knowing the file system or the differences between MS Word and LibreOffice. You should run the numbers and find out.
The machines you need, over their projected lives of 4 years cost $X per employee per day. That $X is likely less than 30 minutes. Is it likely that the new systems will cost you more than the same amount of man-hours in conversion and support?

Yeah, but they will work perfectly fine for board game pieces, art pieces, simple kid toys, cups, plates.. Yeah, that's about it :)
But the technology is advancing, give it a few years and you'll be able to create most home tools, Legos, and other everyday objects.

Another big issue is that these were 12 top of the line violins. Its pretty impressive honestly to say that violins that hundreds of years old can sound identical to 12 top of the line modern violins. No other 300 year old instrument is likely to sound as good as a modern top of the line version.

It allows you to build and upgrade your phone a piece at a time.

I think the biggest draw for me would be "replace your screen after you drop it". Feature :)

Its electro permanent. Meaning it requires a power to connect and to disconnect, but no power to remain connected.

Most things don't use the entire stack.
TCP/IP needs to be seperate layers because you don't want to use TCP for everything.

Everything on the internet has an IP address, so that is the universal internet layer. You can put TCP or UDP or any number of more obscure layers on top of that.

Most applications squish the sesson,presentation,application layers into one, keeping them seperate is optional, there isn't a separate encapsulation header for each just a session flag to keep track the individual connection.
Under the IP layer (network) you have the data-link and physical layer. data-link is your MAC address (this is neccesary) and physical is your wire, there isn't a protocol there generally, though there is for WIFI for example which doesn't use wires.

No such thing as crash-free. Hardware/power/other software can cause crashes as well. Its way better to be crash-safe than crash proof. Crash proof is just waiting to be proved wrong.
