> I think, EU could only achieve that a non-EU-based company leaves EU. Exactly, also, the US would prevent that geopolitically.

I'm sure the top leadership was well aware of what happened after the first crash yes. They should have immediately gone public and would have prevented the second crash. Don't forget that hiding MCAS from pilots and the FAA was a

You can't jail a company. And breaking one up is pretty much impossible considering the geopolitical pressures on huge companies like this.

You can't put a corporation in prison. But a person you can. This is one of the big problems. The people making the decisions at corporations are shielded from personal consequences by the corporation. A corporation can be shut down bu

Which you can reprogram to Bluetooth. It's a good controller yes though a little heavy for my liking.

Yes but unreal is just as good an option.

The good thing about the Xreal One is that the camera is optional and you can remove it. So you can only use it when you have a private space and need 6DoF.

The Xreal One does do tracking. 3DoF by default and 6DoF with the optional camera.

It's often frowned upon but yes. Porn is a very strong usecase where VR offers substantial improvement over existing tech. If it wasn't such a taboo these things would be flying off the shelves. It really feels like you are there

Higher vertical resolution but lower horizontal. It's about the same.

The problem is not that there's not good experiences now, it's that the lingering bad aftertaste of the bad tracking and overly rough experiences (eg rollercoaster) causes. Nausea is a powerful influence and can really contaminate

For me that makes no difference at all tbh. VR veteran here though.

As a VR enthusiast, cardboard was terrible for adoption. Every time id demo real VR people would be like "oh yeah those rollercoaster videos that make you sick". Because cardboard was shitty 3DoF tracking that causes nausea, was u

It's not even optimising. It's just dragging AI by the hairs into everywhere, where it's not even clear whether it belongs there or provides any benefit. Just to get the company a reputation of "first mover". Really

I know. I need more hands than I have for a facepalm that's big enough.

No I'm not religious at all. I do think it's likely there are powers far greater than us, it's statistically likely. If we're the top that life has to offer it's a pretty sad affair. But I think it's extremely

Yes newpipe is ok but they don't allow the sponsorblock plugin for high horse reasons and I need that. Without that YouTube is unbearable even with premium. Someone else even did all the work for them writing the plugin. I used a fork

No this was in Europe. I would never work in the US, not even California.

Most of the work I as an engineer do is jumping through hoops that engineers from other departments have drawn up. If someone up high really cared, wouldn't they have us work on something that matters?

They copied character.ai in the first year. Remember those snoop Dogg personas? They have the tech, if they still fail it's just marketing.

Tbh yes. I like AI but I'm getting a bit sick of the hype. All our top dogs want AI in everything no matter whether it actually benefits the product. They even know it's senseless but they need to show the shareholders that they a

Can you rehire that quickly though? I know where I live the government won't allow you to rehire people you just fired. Because the severance benefits have lower tax requirements and if you could do that you could do it every year as a

You'll need to sustain the astronauts for much longer and they'll be subject to a lot more radiation. That's not exactly easy.

That's because SpaceX has military and national security contracts, not because it's space as such.

Personally I don't currently like neither China nor America and I would refuse to visit either if my work asked me to go. Both have pretty authoritarian governments right now and I refuse to submit to that. They're far from the on

I only know their YouTube app grayjay but I don't really like it because puts all this futo stuff in my video feed. A video player should get out of the way. I prefer smarttubenext (tv) and revanced.

Nice! Can't wait for this to hit my OS. The dark mode settings and pinned clipboard stuff are my favourites.

Those are just really small WS2812, I get those at 160 led per meter on a strip of 5 bucks per meter. I just mean to say they are cheaply available in many form factors. I use them a lot in cosplay clothing.

Thanks! I think we have a different name for it. Here in Europe they need a very serious reason anyway (like gross misconduct) and if they don't have it they can make you redundant but have to pay significant severance. I'm kinda
