Your uncle's slow arse Barchetta doesn't need acceleration limits. There's very few EVs on the market that are as slow as this. Almost 9 seconds 0-100km/h. That's almost twice as long as the limit being proposed. The new lowest end trim of the 2025 VW ID.3 is as slow as the Barchetta, as is the slowest trim of the Renault 5.

Your uncle's ancient car can join my grandma's mobility scooter on a list of things that won't need a acceleration limits.

Have you seen traffic in China? Top speed is very much already limited.

There's a pedal you can step on for that. I assume you mean ADSD vehicle, since there's precisely zero self-driving vehicles available on the market for consumers. There's precisely zero incidents of ADSD overpowering a simple step on the brake pedal. That said I'm sure there's cases of people who are too stupid to both drive and be driven around.

Dude... one of the affected models is the second cheapest Model 3. Only the cheapest Model 3 RWD has a 0-100 time over 5 seconds. In fact just a quick look at the market I couldn't find a single AWD model EV that is slower than 5seconds to 100km/h. The only other car in Tesla's entire offering is the Model Y Standard that is slow enough for this.

Welcome to the world of EVs, we have a fuckton of acceleration.

... a significant portion of every city has people living in it with more than $100,000 in assets. Like outside of the slums you can bet anyone with a hint of grey in their beard does.

This isn't the security risk you think it is. God my wife is a teacher and her woefully underpaid arse had over $100k in assets when we met. In fact most people who have paid off only 1/4 of their mortgages have $100k in assets. What's the difference between whether that's in stocks, bonds, or housing?

Fedora has currently halted the proposal to drop 32bit support in Fedora 44, only to say "because it was too early". They very much leave it open for it to be dropped soon.

That said for Linux gaming it's probably the best option on the market at present.

Why not ask Steamdeck owners? It's not like this would be a new experience for Valve. You can go see exactly how this works right now based on past performance without some future uncertainty.

Err what? Steam is Steam. If you want to see *exactly* what this will look like then connect your controller to your PC and push the home button. Steam will switch to console mode. There's no reason to think this will look any different than what Steam's existing console mode has looked like for over a decade now. There's literally no reason for them to create any different product for this.

No one will be playing games directly on their headset. PCVR games are simply not optimised even when running ARM native versions. They need to be adjusted to suit the hardware. Playing games you already own (i.e. your existing Steam library) will involve you using Steamlink to stream your graphics over to the HMD.

This works very well by the way. I use it with the Quest 3. Given the choice of Meta's walled garden and Steams knee-high-fenced garden 90% of my VR stuff is done on PCVR.

100% of x86-64 VR games run on a PC. The point here is to use your PC to Stream a video feed to your headset via SteamLink. In general these headsets are too underpowered to play PC games (i.e. all x86-64 games), all the releases for standalone HMDs are custom ports with adjusted graphics. Also all standalone HMDs on the market are already ARM.

Fun fact you're not streaming to your headset from a cloud on the other side of the country. You're streaming across the room. I get horrendously motion sick and I have zero problems using a Quest 3 to stream via Steamlink from my PC over WiFi 5, and I've heard latency is even lower on WiFi 6.

You just aren't talking from experience... and honestly I'm not sure why you compare this to streaming services, it's like saying cars suck and you'll get wet because you've seen motorbike riders get wet in the rain.

That's a strange way of saying will run any game on a store that 99.9% of PC gamers use and already have.

Even my dad has a Steam account and the last time he played any computer game Obama was still president. Your complaint is just not a thing that anyone gives an iota of a shit about.

I can see you've not used one. The Quest 3 has graphics virtually indistinguishable from a wired headset. Just because it's standalone doesn't mean you can't use your GPU power on your PC. Actually I lie since the last wired headset I used had a lower resolution, so going wireless streaming with the Quest 3 was a leap up in graphics quality compared to my previously wired headset.

I get more battery life out of my headset than I am comfortable playing with. You can only run around the living room for so long before you want to sit down, and if you want to sit down, ... plug yourself in you literally have no further downsides compared to the tethered option. If you're comfortable tethering yourself, then tether yourself for unlimited playtime.

The Quest 3 on launch was smaller than any other HMD on the market, it was the opposite of bulky. You want bulk, buy a tethered headset. Untethered ones aren't bulky in the slightest. Literally every other headset released is setting small size records.

Generates more heat than the sun? You have that backwards. Heat is generated by my GPU. The headset doesn't generate any perceptible heat on my face and the front of it is lightly warm when I take it off after a gaming session. On the other hand when I use PCVR I walk back into the room with the PC, that room is very warm.

Yeah I'm one of those people, and I will not buy a tethered headset. There's just so many upsides to non-tethered and you've yet to point out a downside that wasn't simply the result of your ignorance.

So did I, but it turns out it's not so easy to put a hook in the ceiling of different rooms, or to put a hook in the ceiling of a friend's house, or to put a hook in the ceiling of the rental place where you're hosting a LAN party.

You didn't solve the tethering problem. You solved the problem of a cable at your feet, there's so many more downsides to being tethered than that.

Obviously I was joking above but I really did also use a hook in the ceiling of one room in the house, and even in that room I still ended up fucking up the cable due to twisting around damaging it. This isn't a "solution", it's a minor bandaid fix that makes the downsides of the cable marginally less annoying at best.

One of the best advanced I've ever experienced in VR was NOT having cables connected to my PC, while still having the option to stream from the GPU. It's literally better than both worlds.

Being tethered via a cable is the antithesis of the entire experience. I am a rabid VR fanboi (self proclaimed) who has owned 4 headsets over the past decade and I would *never* recommend a tethered cable experience to anyone at this point. Heck I don't even recommend the VisionPro purely for the fact that it has an external battery pack which requires a cable.

This isn't backwards. This is a step in the right direction. As is foveated rendering/compression which objectively increases visual quality while preserving what is truly important for the VR experience: low latency and high quality where you're looking.

Maybe try the product before posting your non-review.

Errr you have that backwards. Open freeways are by far the *easier* condition to handle. There's a reason some companies have L3 systems which have been approved for use on freeways, but not in suburbs (though not yet released in any actual purchasable product I am aware of). Even Musk will wax poetic about how "safe" FSD is based on it's long history on freeways, only to then produce a robotaxi which on its first day drives the wrong way down a lane, stops in the middle of intersections, and hits a stationary car.
