The single best use case is people waiting for their drug dealers, and stoned people shouldnt drive. Everybody else privides alternative payment methods.

My only guess is drugs.

If you want to know these things have you looked for the answer?

It's Toyota. They are known. They employ over 63,000 Americans already. They are good jobs. This announcement marks the start of producing batteries - not some hazy "agreement" about the future if this and if that and if the other. It's a done deal and it's a good thing.

Untethered means battery-powered wifi gaming.

Immediately, not interested.

I can play my Vive Pro as long as I like (e.g. at a party we can all have a go for hours), it's reliant on the power of the machine connected to it, not the device itself, and it provides tech specs far in advance of the wireless junk.

I solved that problem with a hook in the ceiliing and one of those springy-cord things (like people used to have on their keys) so that you can move in literally any direction and it doesn't matter at all as the cable will follow you, and then spring back to the hook when you step back again.

Literally a $10 solution, never had an issue after that.

Yeah, you remember when all the game-streaming services failed because they just couldn't actually overcome the latency issues?

And you know that in VR, latency is the thing that makes you feel travel sick and/or have an awful experience? (Good VR sets have such low latency that it's incredible, and this is basically a non-issue, but even a poorly-programmed game can introduce enough latency to have this effect even with perfect hardware).

And that wireless tech - regardless of its implementation - is subject to local radio noise and will "hang up" if there's interference?

Streaming shite to VR is a TERRIBLE idea. That's why they often need proprietary cables to do it, as per the OP.

Wow. Committed to close to the start of the previous administration. I wonder how it'll get spun differently.

"on Apple there are a large number of applications which only have phone layouts"

If you are saying that the iPad will begrudgingly run old iPhone-only apps, that's true. But describing it as a limiting factor is not reasonable. Of the dozens of iPad apps I use - and I do use quite a lot - not one is running in iPhone compatibility. No matter what your need is, there are iPad-native apps to meet it. Usually it's the same binary - a universal app.

Besides, it's like complaining that your Ubuntu desktop is lacking because it'll run a bunch of old terminal apps that don't make use of the gui. It's silly.

Sounds easy, but Musk has been there, Jobs has been there, Gates has been there...

>Now all those houses have residents.

Sorry, what?
New home prices in China fell by 0.22% in May 2025 across 70 major cities, the largest monthly decline in seven months, while existing home prices dropped 0.5%, the steepest fall in eight months. Year-on-year, residential sales by value dropped 6.1% and real estate investment plunged 12% in the same month. Lol, yeah, housing is going GREAT in China!

>It's not the same kind of economy as we have, or the same kind of culture, and people somehow are unable to understand that.

No, its a command economy, and that has always proven to be shitty.

You say that like you know a damn thing about masculinity. There is nothing masculine about being an incel you little twit.

It's not "ordinary folks" - it's the willfully ignorant. And Yes, I have no sympathy for them.
They probably shouldn't be on the internet, in fact.

>The user receives an instruction to copy a string of text, open a terminal window, paste it in, and press Enter.

If you are willing to do this, maybe you shouldn't own a computer. Just like a driver's license, maybe we should have some basic knowledge test to drive on the internet.

Not sure because these chips cost so much to operate in energy costs. If enough efficiency gains are made it would be cheaper to buy and run new ones than to run old ones to do the same tasks. When data center companies start building their own nuclear power plants you know there is a LOT of money to be saved by increasing efficiency.

Fortunately things are not as bad over here in Europe, there's still loads of competition. That being said, Ryanair as an ultra low cost carrier specialises in flying from smaller airports to an airport somewhere near somewhere people want to go (I.E. "London" Isle of Skye airport) so for many it is their only option apart from driving a few hours to a major airport.

I doubt they'll try this as EU and UK consumer laws will have some rather strong things to say about it. O'Leary has a history of saying outlandish things to get free publicity in the press. Things like charging for lavatory use or dropping one pilot and training the cabin crew to fly in emergencies.
