Let's not pretend everything was successful back in the 60's, many problems arose back then too. And trying to create a vehicle that can be reused is something completely different as a one time use, no need to return rocket. But, they made the big mistake of going for the space shuttle instead of continueing the saturn program, as von Braun was targetting Mars too, and would have succeeded in the 80's if they let him continue back then.

Yeah, on a specific device, which shows windows drivers for that device have a problem. And if course Windows 11 in its default state is a much more generic OS as SteamOS is. I wonder what would happen if one would be optimizing the windows with removing/stopping certain services. And what's not clear from the article, did the game look exactly the same on both runs, or maybe the SteamOS run missed some graphics features because proton tells the game it doesn't support certain options, so the game runs with lesser options therefore more lightweight..

Oh please, that is real linux fanboy talk. Linux isn't more secure as windows 11 is. Linux is still not as user friendly as Windows is. The gazillion choices in Linux distro's and desktops are just absolutely ridiculous, especially since they are not all compatible. Yes, Linux has become much better over the years.

But if you can do the same job in 32 hours while before needed 40 hours, doesn't that mean you were slacking off? Why should your employer pay you more if you do exactly the same as before but in less hours.... It just doesn't make any sense. And if did it in 40 hours before, and now in 32, maybe you can even do it in 24 hours.... Where do you draw the line?

Oh please, every single point you make is mute. -soccerplayers won't be recognizable with 16k if you already can't make it out on 4k. You seem to forget that with even a 70" TV the size of the TV itself won't let you make it out on 16k, because the pixels are too small, do in reality you would still see the same gobble what you see between 4k to 6K. -VR, have you actually already seen a 4K/eye headset, with decent lenses? You'll be hard pressed to see the pixels already 6k will already be (beyond) retina resolution. BUT, a higher resolution used over a wider display is another matter, increased FOV will require wider displays, but special displays which use high resolution in your actual view and a lower towards the edge might also be excellent enough. -movies, yes you're right 70mm is between 12K and 16K, BUT, you won't ever see the difference on a regular TV, it's way too small. Only difference when you MIGHT see it, is on an Imax screen with a size of 22meters wide, and you're sitting in the front row... On a 50-60" you will be hard pressed to see the difference between 4K and 8K already (unless you are really with your nose on the screen). And in regard to gaming, it'll be a decade before AAA on ultra will be possible on 16K (without upscaling/AI tricks), even current highend cards already have problems enough to drive 4K without fakery (I don't mind fakery if I can't really tell the difference anyway during gaming).

Finally someone with a brain. These batteries are not only usable for EV's, but also for home batteries. Lowering the price of a homebattery will make sure more people will get one, which will offset the burden on the current outdated electricity network, so less chance on a network outage during hot summers. And as a homeowner you're less reliant in the powercompany, which always is a good thing.
