Where did you get the idea that this was "simple" ?
An on/off switch, that's a simple solution.
Comment Samsung's Bixby does *not* support those languages (Score 2) 74
"Samsung's Bixby: Samsung's Bixby [...] only supports a handful of languages in those countries: English, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Korean, and Spanish."
AFAIK, until recently, Bixby (the voice assistant) did not understand German, French, Italian or Spanish. This was quite a letdown for us european customers. Has this changed recently ?

Google Pixel Buds Are Wireless Earbuds That Translate Conversations In Real Time (arstechnica.com) 163
At its hardware event today, Google debuted new wireless earbuds, dubbed "Pixel Buds." These are Google's first wireless earbuds that give users access to Google Translate so they can have conversations with people who speak a different language. Ars Technica reports: Unlike Apple's AirPods, the Pixel Buds have a wire connecting the two earpieces. However, that wire doesn't connect to a smartphone or other device. Pixel Buds will pair via Bluetooth to the new Pixel smartphones -- and presumably any other devices that accept Bluetooth wireless earbuds. All of the Pixel Buds' controls are built in to the right earpiece, which is a common hardware solution on wireless earbuds. You can access Google Assistant by tapping or pressing on the right earbud, and the Assistant will be able to read notifications and messages to you through the Buds.
But the most intriguing feature of the Pixel Buds is the integrated Google Translate feature. Demoed on stage at Google's event today, this feature lets two Pixel Bud wearers chat in their native languages by translating conversations in real time. In the demo, a native English speaker and a native Swedish speaker had a conversation with each other, both using their native languages. Google Translate translated the languages for each user. There was barely any lag time in between the speaker saying a phrase and the Buds' hearing those words and translating them into the appropriate language. The Pixel Buds will use Google Translate to comprehend conversations in 40 different languages. Some other features include a 5-hour battery life, and a charging case that can hold up to 24 hours of battery life. They're available for preorder today for $159.

TFA sounds like an advertisement written by someone who has obviously no idea what driving simulators are nowadays.
Never heard about http://force-dynamics.com/ ?
Or http://www.gekosystems.com/ ?
Even DIYers build racing wheels with forces around 15 Nm ( http://www.racingfr.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46898 in France, probably on many english forums as well).

As for pricing, well, just take a look at the tickets for the Silverstone GP on the official F1 site (I didn't check the other races) :
General Admission - (Sunday) 231,35 €
Not exactly cheap by my (european) standards. As a comparison, this is more than twice the price of a ticket for the next AC/DC show in Paris.

Where did you get that notion that electric cars aren't fast ?
They are short ranged, but not slow. La Jamais Contente was even the fastest car 2 centuries ago !

And no I am not a greenpeace activist, I watch formula-e events and some formula one events. Formula-e is much more fun, as a race actually takes place, and you can hear the tires working.
