An addition after seeing a sibling comment: It's more annoying to setup, but I also like playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 in VR with a 1080 wheel. As someone who doesn't have a driving license, that makes me see why some people like

I like it quite a lot for gaming as it's much more immersive than PC gaming (I don't have any other gaming console). I play both wire-free on Oculus Quest 2 itself, or (still wire-free) from a Windows VM with a RTX3070 pcie passth

I hope that this is new to no-one generating JSON using LLM, because it felt like the first thing you'd do when I implemented that kind of stuff. That being said, it's nice to have that as a library ready-to-go.

Ah thanks, that indeed clears up my confusion. I don't understand how is that relevant to savings or Apple Card though? I mean sure Apple Card is currently a credit card, but I don't think that's relevant? In France most bank
