We are able to build robots. Real robots. Purpose built able to be ideal for the task robots that are better in every way than humans. Why would we intentionally limit them by forcing a bipedal design combined with shitty AI?

I'd have thought they would just put a man in a robot costume up on stage like Elon Musk.

I'm just going to quote this back at you. There's nothing socialist about Russia, please look up both words again.

Of all the ridiculous things in the world to be worried about, this is one of the very most ridiculous of all. The rate of fires is massively lower than for ICE cars. You have loads of lithium battery devices in your house already, and you don’t (presumably) shriek with fear each hour of each day as you contemplate the terrifying death traps they apparently represent, tucked away next to your combustible household goods. And of course, it’s also such an outdated fear, because LFP is already well established — about *40%* of the global EV battery market — and has a substantially lower risk of fire than NMC.

These are not meaningful risks to your health and safety. Fumes, noise and car-dependent urban design are meaningful risks to your health and safety.

Of getting a battery for. You can get a cheaper off-brand Chinese one but good luck getting a replacement battery when the battery inevitably goes. You basically have a slab of ewaste at that point unless you're going to play around with the electronics of it and wire up your own power supply.

As far as the rest of it make sure you have at least 8 GB of RAM and they're all basically the same at that point. You might want to get a high density display which I think Samsung has a model for if you're going to do stuff like play vector games on it

So it's not a thought terminating cliche numbskull.

A thought terminating cliche exists to end debate by dumping a simple and wrong statement.

You are already thinking about the implications of whether or not it's possible to be happy with a 40-hour work week. That's thinking you're doing is why it's not a thought terminating cliche. And if you had any self-awareness you would have figured that out all on your lonesome

Oddly enough at least last I heard Marvel rivals is fully supported. It can best be described as playable just because it's a relatively modern game and the steam deck is getting long in the tooth but the company does actually support it and when it's broken they've fixed it.

Um... People that want to play PC games in the living room that's who.

There are tons of games that never get released on console that people like to play or that have inferior versions on the console.

The biggest issue here I think is going to be that the console only has 16 gigs of main RAM and I think it has 8 GB of video RAM.

It is at least upgradable but I think you really want 32 GB of RAM.

The Xbox and the PS5 for example have several strategy games that basically grind to a halt 2/3 of the way into the game because it's just too much for the CPU and RAM on the Xbox or the PS5.

Also if you already have a large library of games this is a convenient device that may be affordable with the price of RAM and hard drive skyrocketing because of AI bullshit.

AI is guzzling down all the RAM and hard drives so it's going to be tough for valve to source hardware at a price that's affordable.

And the private insurance companies spend hundreds of billions of dollars convincing the public that you're going to kill grandma

When there was a possibility of a public option in the affordable Care act the private insurance company spent $750 billion dollars that we know of to shoot it down.

I get pissed off when people complain the Democrats didn't give us a public option back then because what the fuck are they supposed to do in the face of nearly a trillion dollars of propaganda?

I don't think you can directly fix the healthcare system which you need to do instead is have a federal jobs guarantee that gets everyone used to the idea that healthcare is a right and then you can gradually start moving in the direction away from the parasitic insurance companies.

Also we need to get comfortable using the word parasite again. We get really antsy about that because fucking Nazis use it. It's a word and a concept we need to reclaim.

More than it needs to because it's a private health care system. So yes the employer gets taxed to pay for healthcare along with the employee but it is substantially less because you don't have the bloated parasite of private insurance.

The problem isn't that your company is paying for your health care, the problem is your company isn't paying for your health care it's paying for the profit margin of the private insurance company it is forced to do business with.

Also, good for Homie the Clown from Living Color TV show.

Disabled passengers are still able to get assistance at disabled counters in airports, including blind people. But people who just refuse to put on reading glasses don't count unfortunately.

What market consolidation? Ryan air isn't just not the only option for consumers, it's not even the only low cost option in Ireland. The number of competitors to Ryanair are too high to count, and certainly massive enough in number that they are trivial to avoid on principle for any start / destination combination (which I already do).

You don't need to fly Ryanair to get cheap tickets. Many people didn't long before this announcement.

Both people on your flight experiencing this problem can have it rectified at the customer service desk. Ryanair may be the first to mandate an app, but all budget airlines use them.

Next time you're at an airport flying a cheap airline take not of how many people have paper tickets vs use their smartphone already. I'll wager it's close to zero. It's certainly been the last couple of times I've flown Easyjet and Corendon (out of principle I don't fly Ryanair, there's such a thing as too cheap).
