Tesla isn’t the only company making great EVs EU is now full of other impressive machines and BYD is also being out impressive vehicles. Tesla, well reputation is trash. Company success is questionable. I’d rather by an EV from anyone right

Just because it was encrypted doesn’t mean google can’t run some processing. For example encrypted zip files still can show the file names. These file names could be specific or malware or a collection of matching file names.

Sounds like you got some beef with them. What do they have in your mind that is incomplete?

Isn’t atmos not specifically multi channel as in traditional 5.1/ 7.1, but Atmos is positional sound that then generates the correct speaker positioning on the amplifier? For instance my home setup has support for 5.2.4 channels, two b

I don’t understand your critique. Are you saying that European software developers don’t have a passion for shipping products?

Ok, we used a different term and associated attach rate as with console purchase. Either way, just take what I said as games sold with console purchase.

No, a 3 attach rate was huge, I said in a previous reply other consoles at the time were around 1.25. Over the lifetime older consoles needed around 5 games per console to break even and Xbox 360 hit that super fast compared to the competit

Three was huge at the time. Before Xbox 360 the attach rate was estimated at 1.25 for previous consoles. Often due to low games at launch or including a game with the console. Xbox 360 broke this at the time with a huge launch portfolio an

To add to this, in Ireland the main retailer for toys was Smyth’s. They didn’t sell the original Xbox because they sold PlayStation and when Microsoft tried to get the Xbox 360 stocked by them, they initially refused saying when people want

The consoles used to be sold at a loss, that was back a long time ago, Xbox 360, PS3 I believe were the last generation to be sold at a loss. The next gen Xbox at the time was sold for a 20% markup on cogs or there about at the time. Games

Depends on the car. For instance some BMWs will offer the hud now, but not all. And for the maps in the dials that’s only Apple Maps and no other nav software. So yeah it’s not perfect at all, but I’ll still take this over a cars standard n

So entirely different experience for me. So 5 years ago I travel to California. Out of all the cars I picked a crappy GM car when there were better cars to pick from the rental lot, why, because I had my iPhone with navigation. Every time I

Isn’t the problem with this, that they work till they fail. You can run some software that can tell you how dead the drive is, but you can’t figure how likely it will die. Some drives I think have some stats you can access, but generally yo

I remember seeing the COGS for Xbox One and it was the same as retail prices. There was no profit from COGS and then you have shipping and associated costs to get the consoles out. So there is an inherent loss. it’s likely too that advertis

That’s not entirely true. They gameafy some aspects for sure, but that’s just about accessibility. You can run it like a full sim and there are great videos of real Boeing pilots talking about it. Even the old flight sim was so advanced MSF

Twitter... have you ever tried to share a Sharepoint link. Those take up like 4+ lines in emails, it's a nightmare. Back in the day, Microsoft even used to have an internal url shortening service that people used to clean up Sharepoint

This needs more camera manufacturers adding CFExpress over SD cards. However, there are a large number of other devices such as audio recorders using SD, so this could be wishful thinking for now at least.

Well, you got the meetings with the or agencies, that’s going to cost a ton. Then there is licensing of music which is a known and respected artist. Likely a bunch of other additional costs to an ad agency to create the video and deliver to

I was involved in part with the Windows 8 control panel refresh. What a nightmare it was working with that team. There was just no care for actually improving user experience, everything was shoehorned into the modern ui mainly as a push fo

France has a great system. You can’t rent a house unless the rent is under 1/3rd of your income. It’s not legally enforced, but is very difficult to rent for more of your pay check. Unlike ireland where rents can be 60% of your take ho

Shame the comments here are not discussing the reason for them selling a cloth. The nano textured screen is easily scratched if you use paper towels or rough fabric. This just makes sure you have a material that is suitable. Secondly, the c

I've moved full to Mac since I purchased Star Citizen. I guess I'll never get a chance to play this.

I would love to boycott amazon, but its near impossible. In France especially with the lockdowns, most of my groceries are delivered either via amazon (for next day delivery) or from Monoprix, but that is generally two days in advance. Luck

Yahoo Japan was a JV between Yahoo and SoftBank. It’s pretty much a huge if not the biggest platform in Japan because of this. Yahoo Japan is not the same as yahoo globally.

I think they did the A/B testing by switching off 100m of ads and having the same results.

Only on sales beyond the $1m, also its calculated after the apple compensation, so its on total sales of $1.15m then you pay 30%.

Microsoft tried this with Windows RT. It didn’t go down well at all. The slow burn might be what’s needed, but if they do this, it could damage why people still buy macs vs just buying iPads. Lets see, time will tell here.

This is exactly what Microsoft did with the first surface tablet running arm. The original plan was to go all in, but the backlash and support the. Was so bad they dropped the effort going into Windows 10.

Realise that intel, has not been releasing chips with any major improvement either. They have delayed time and time again new chips and designs on purpose because they haven’t had the competition to be go up against. Intel performance will
