It does neat parlor tricks, but the kids on the Hill don't need it.

I get that Armchair General is a thing y'all love to play in Techworld when you're not busy playing Economist or shooting up schools, but some self-reflection and a look at the Wiki page on Dunning-Kruger would do you some good.

And what need for the ammunition would arise that would trump this in that timeframe? The timeframe for ramping ammunition stocks is significantly shorter than anything China has in mind.

The "depleted ammunition" shit is so stupid. We can easily build more ammunition, and it's not as though we have some threat to our country that would necessitate a bunch of ammunition. China isn't going to invade Taiwan any time soon, contra what you tech-brained imbeciles are told by the Elons and David Sackses of the world. A couple hundred billion to help Ukraine turn Russia's military into oatmeal is both (1) the right thing to do because fuck Russia and (2) an insane bargain from a realpolitik perspective.

If your reference points are those terrible Intel iGPUs they're amazing. By discrete standards they're either middling or very good, depending on software/optimization. REV runs at native res and high settings with no issues on mine, although that's an M2 Max. (Apparently it'll run well on anything from M1 up though.) Those are proper ports though. This is talking about a translation layer.

The dorky part isn't an issue IMO. The issue (to me anyway) is still the same as every other VR/AR headset: "What's the Killer App/Use Case?" My wife has a Quest 2 she uses for exercise, and it has a little mini-golf game that's kind of fun, but it's not like those are must-haves, and they don't become must-haves by virtue of Apple finally creating one with hardware that doesn't suck shit. I just don't get it.

It's true. People need to stop being so sensitive and hear the advice they don't want to hear. For example, your mother should've done right by the species and swallowed you.

Only the Dunning-Kruger-ass incels who make up Silicon Valley and their sycophants in the press wouldn't have seen that coming. Christ.

Finally something to make Linux WiFi setup look functional.

AI is the latest round of incel dipshits with Dunning-Kruger syndrome in Silicon Valley trying to fake it til they make it, because tech hasn't done anything even mildly interesting since the iPhone. Like crypto, NFTs, The Blockchain, "self-driving" cars, Twitter Blue, etc. This will prove to be trash just like the rest.
