Glitch the game never even showed up on my radar. Too bad (or maybe, for the best) it was never something I heard about. So I had to do some googling for what seemed like a pretty obscure thing that morphed into a huge thing that takes up

It has an LCD that'll give you a "problem" (low 12v) but won't show you sensor values, stored codes, disable limp-mode, etc.

I recently bought a used Seadoo and discovered the dirty little secret of personal watercraft that they don't want you to know. Unlike cars with their standardized ODB2 ports, those aren't a requirement for PWCs. And the diagnos

You don't have to go through customs on every country you fly over in a regular plane. If I take off in California and fly to Hawaii I leave the airport like I never left the US, even though I've flown over "international&qu

Its kind of grim to think a trip to the ISS has a 1:270 chance of death just from the unavoidable roulette of getting zinged by a micrometeroid.

The offloading is easy, I don't think the optical aspects of breakthrough VR/AR will be overcome for quite a while.

I wonder what his gameplan was trying to become a French citizen in the first place.

Guess we'll see in a few decades. People thought VR was on the brink of mass market breakthrough in the 90s too.

I don't think you'll ever be able to. Maybe not for decades for AR/VR. The AI stuff is cool; you can offload that, but mostly they'll just be a glorified camera mount and headphones for the actual 'glasses.'

Sounds like there is an obvious feature for having FindMy / location beacons in your smart sunglasses.

All the arguments are attempts to veil "we're not making enough money." When companies dangle "open source" projects to get attention, or start off as open source projects then someone decides "I can make money

Risking profit. I wish he'd just say it. The mealy mouthed justifications are just so transparently disingenuous.
