Motion controllers are considered essential part of VR, so it's just not free-look camera.

For sims you would use regular sim controllers, so a driving wheel. Agreed that using motion controllers for driving a car to me sounds would be applicable only for arcade car games where you don't want to require any patricular hardware; but then again VTOL apparently makes good use of them even if there's a learning curve.

Consider for example Pavlov or Contractors VR. Or even the most famous game, Beat Saber.. Just free-look, really?

..with one Raptor engine and then think how Super Heavy is going to have 35 of them: https://www.extremetech.com/ex... .

It's going to be insane!

Well, if the result is going to be that websites can no longer track where you exit, then the links won't even show the real destination but a service inside the that website that then does the redirection, so they get the data.

In the end I'm not sure if that's going to be a win.. At least it's obvious to people that the link is tracked, but that's what you knew already. You could mark potentially redirecting links in the hover

Displays yes, signal no. Pimax 8kx is only becoming available.

You said it: if there was a 5k per eye headset, there would be no signal source for it. VR market itself is so small that it's not able to push GPU development faster.

That said, Pimax 8kx (so 4k per eye) is starting deliveries soon I hear, that's 4k per eye and the claim is that with eyetracking and foveated rendering it's fine to run it with 2080ti.

Are you ready to pay $1299 for the headset, and I guess $400 for the tracking + controllers, and $2000 for the PC?

Maybe they should have asked Cern how they managed their 200PB storage surface two+ years ago: https://indico.cern.ch/event/6...

I can't imagine it being more expensive than Amazon. They realize Amazon is in this business for profit, right? I think nowadays you can fit that much data in a couple racks; make that 6 racks in different data centers for redundancy with ie Ceph.

Let's say the average number of concurrent streams per paying account is currently 1.5 (a number I just pulled out of thin air for sake of this argument).

If that number were to rise to 2.5, do you think it would cost Netflix nothing?

What do you think they need data centers for? They could just buy one 12 terabyte NAS and probably store all their media there, easy peasy..

If you're suggesting that the malware is able to modify Firefox configuration in general somehow before installing the malware-extension, then I'm betting it is able to do many worse things than simply setting some particular flag in Firefox configuration. For example replace the Firefox links in desktop with a malware-provided one.

Well that I did and I think it's amazing I managed to fail at that :-).

I bet watching Chinese TV with subtitles for 10 years would certainly help, in particular if it were interleaved with actual studies.

I mean, I don't think many pick up English straight from TV without education. But once you get a bit of education, it sort of creates a feedback loop where you are able to build up your understanding by listening people speak the language and then understanding more and more of it.

Most people in Finland as well speak English - and the language couldn't be further different from English. But we do have subtitles.

However when you factor in a 1 Gbit or preferably 10 Gbit connection to said server for ie. having your / of your desktop computers there, the economics turn upside down.

Hopefully that will change in the future.

There exists some pretty compelling research on having a 3d model walk a complicated terrain in a natural looking fashion.

But I was unable to find the video :(. It probably isn't older than a year or so..

And the great thing about crowbars is that they work on delivery people as well! Just pick a pizza delivery or UPS guy, apply crowbar and BAM you've got free pizza or some random gizmo off the Internet!
