I'd have rather have Batboy's perspective than an AI CEO's, though...

Be glad they aren't an oil furnace. Hello annual $390 tune-ups. I honestly don't do it that often, but a gas tune-up is under 100 (so they basically look and say 'yep - it's working') and good old oil is nearly 400 because of a nozzle, strainer, and filter replacement followed by an electrode and flame adjustment??? It's robbery.

Undoing another moderation ruined by the moderation drop down choosing a (wrong) moderation the instant i click to open it. I guess this version of Chrome is bugged.

Most people aren't using them.

And from the downward spiral I see in everybody who starts using them, I don't see any cause to reconsider.

"But you might lose out on a 2% efficiency gain that makes you progressively 10% stupider every month!"

No thanks.

The Great Recession was awesome in some ways - mass incarceration in the US started to fall and states started to end marijuana policy. Hitting the swine in the pockets made them realize that keeping almost 1% of the population in the jail was too damn expensive.

Good - if they stopped being proactive and only reacted to serious crimes involving people actually being harmed, the US would likely be a more pleasant place to live. Quality of life pigging lessens quality of life for everyone.

Yep - something like a civilian complaint review board. Also, plenty of people would be happy to take the job of pissing pigs off, considering how utterly vile most American cops are.

Nazi are still the bad guys. They're only "evergreen" because we failed to get rid of all of them. Damn things are like roaches.

Well, they were. They don't scatter when you shine a light on them anymore. On the plus side, that should make them easier to eradicate next time we get the chance.

There's a not insignificant portion of people who used their headset for more than 15minutes. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, but the reality is you are a random person guessing on the internet. Valve on the other hand is a company who has immense amounts of data about the active use of hardware, active use of a dedicated API developed for VR (SteamVR) and a shitton of sales figures specific to titles dedicated solely to VR. And they have this data not including the fact that the most popular headset on the market is independent of their API and their store. Oh and this isn't their first rodeo either, their previous one considered anything but "a flop".

Someone with actual data thought this was a good investment decision. The peanut gallery guessing game is meaningless.

*hits buzzer* "What is... an out of touch comment for 2026?"

And yet the majority of drones on the market transmit digital re-encoded signals even without low-latency. The point I was making is that just because something isn't suitable for the most extreme condition doesn't make it "horrible" or "foolish". The world is dominated by the general purpose use case, not the niche extremes. There are more city bicycles in the world than high end racing bikes. The fact you don't see them in the Tour De France doesn't make their existence horrible of foolish.

I've also had many drones, even have a small one for doing tricks on (I'm not very good, I'm not trying to compare myself to racers). None of them I guarantee you have the low latency anywhere near any number you quoted, but yet they are normal common products enjoyed by the vast majority of the people.

In that regard will the Quest 3 or Valve's Frame be used for PCVR e-Sports competitions? No. But that doesn't make them horrible or foolish. OP even talks about using it for iRacing which is even dumber since racing reaction is predictive not reactive, the course doesn't magically changes and low latency will not determine his performance either. It's an arbitrary metric which doesn't apply to the common person.

And I remind the readers that "common" here is already a niche product. If you're hoping someone caters to a high performance niche of an already niche platform, man are you shit outta luck.

Using temperature sensors is a pretty odd way to measure your grid, don't you think so?

You implied they use temperature as proxy measure for the power going through the lines, instead of measuring the power.

I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.
I also would not wear both :D

You have some serious misconceptions.

Either it is a linguistic problem, that you do not grasp the meaning of words, or you are a kind of autist.

I am happy that you are not in my team.

I simply do not like to argue about idiotic claims like this:
C is not unsafe, the developer writes unsafe C code, C is just as safe as Rust,
If you do not intentionally write unsafe code in Rust: the code is safe.
If you write C, then frankly, an uneducated moron - or idiotic nitpicker - like you seem to be: does not know if the code is safe or not.

Without explicitly using "unsafe" it is impossible to write unsafe code in Rust.
