They are not on Windows. As someone else pointed out, there are very likely Apple-specific shenanigans going on.

But the poor side does not have any margins or resources, they don't have a choice as such. The only thing they can do is force the powerful to change course, by showing them what happens if they don't.

Well, one side of the struggle has all the means and time to find this better path. Are they doing that? No. So why should the weaker, poorer side do it ...?

I mean, historical precedents for land grabs abound, but after the 1918 Wilson Doctrine (a US creation, btw) there is nothing. Colonialism is over and blatant imperialism doesn't work; we hold this as self-evident truth. Then again, ce

Even medieval lords had to survey their lands from time to time. Competent aristocrats would periodically survey their belongings, if anything to ascertain that the good stuff was still there.

But still, 3 years later, the Playstation did the same thing and it was a fantastic success. CDTV was simply a bit early (hence the price) and a bit confused about what it wanted to be. It cost like a development machine but it was a fundam

That's a classic put-down (and a lie). English aristocracy really knows how to cut someone to size when they feel like.

I would absolutely do that. Having to relearn instrumentation and optionals, how the car handles, dealing with its size, etc etc, is an absolute ballache. If you're not into cars, there is no novelty in having to drive two or three dif

HONSVR is a Chinese company shipping from China. If they are attracting Brexit charges they are doing something wrong. I guess it might be different for XREAL if they use UK warehouses.

You can buy inserts for an additional $80 from official partner HONSVR, or less from AliExpress. My HONS inserts work as well as any glasses I've had. I have -1.50 myopia in both eyes, with different levels of astigmatism.

Recent XREAL glasses can do ultrawide already. The Vision Pro, like most full headsets, tries to do too much.

There is no import tax for the UK. I paid £60 in total for my lenses from official partner HONSVR. There are cheaper options on AliExpress.

In my experience the number of female riders is so small, that from a statistical point of view it becomes almost irrelevant. Women also tend to ride smaller bikes, for obvious reasons.

And bike power. Sportsbikes are often road-legal versions of actual racing bikes, with all that it entails. If a third of cars on the road were tuned-down Ferraris and McLarens, you bet they'd crash left right and center.

Scooters are great in the city, but they are kinda boring when it comes to touring or hitting the twisties. My dad's 200cc Vespa is just about interesting enough to ride on hills, but anything below that is just yawn .
