Forget the content. Ads in general are ruining basically everything they’re allowed on. It’s a fuckin cancer.

This didn’t work for valve so I can see it also going poorly for Tesla.

I regularly power both my ts100 and Pinecil with a Milwaukee M18 battery and the barrel connector this is super convenient. The display is also convenient. The fact that you need the battery to set the temp seems numb and completely negates the USBC convenience because it means you can’t use any old USBC power source and still change the temperature. The 100w is also pointless because the other two options already heat incredibly fast and have a higher max temperature.

Ive worked in 3rd world and I’m shocked that you think these people give a shit about Bitcoin or that it can do anything for them. You can sing its praises all you want and go on and on about how it’s just me repeating what I’ve been told. It’s a joke.

But crypto also suffers from crashes and being devalued and if you’re buying Bitcoin with your hard earned dollar that is worth less and less then you are ultimately buying less and less Bitcoin. The fact that Bitcoin still needs all of the other currency to function as a middle man makes it vulnerable to the same risks. Maybe it helps people in niche situations but I’m sure we’ll all be thinking it’s worth it when those same struggling places are the hardest hit by climate change. At least they’ll have a bunch of digital currency propped up by fiat currency.

That’s great and all but doesn’t sound like a valid excuse for the excessive amount of energy it consumes. It’s also hard for me to imagine 3rd world places that somehow flourish because of a currency that needs the Internet to exist.

I’m fine doing away with physical dollars printed on paper and coins but crypto seems to solve none of the problems that we have with a fiat currency but instead continues to consume unnecessary amounts of energy while being driven by rich investors that would love nothing more than to spend and earn money in an untraceable way.

I hope this is sarcasm.

Unfortunately crypto is still somehow a thing. There is a couple year old bitcoin mining facility in my small town that brags about consuming 400MW of power to operate and they are solely owned by a Chinese company.

The argument that our bodies are inefficient meat bags doesn’t make sense. AI isn’t replacing the inefficient meat bag unless I’m unaware of an AI killing people off and so far I’ve yet to see AI make any meaningful dent in overall emissions or research. A chatgpt query can use 10x more power than a regular Google search and there is no chance the result is 10x more useful. AI feels more like it’s adding to the enshittification of the internet and because of its energy use the enshittification of our planet. IMO if these companies can’t afford to build renewables to support their use then they can fuck off.

Useful in the way that it increases emissions and hopefully leads to our demise because that’s what we deserve for this stupid technology.

Agreed.

Good for this guy. Fuck AI and the companies responsible.

This seems pretty rich coming from at&t who recently ran ads that implied they have satellite service when they don’t. https://m.slashdot.org/story/431806

This is the real answer.

Nvidia can kick rocks.

I don’t either. People love being shit on I guess. It’s what makes huge companies like Apple and Tesla so popular.

Good

I don’t think they had any other choice than to make the eye tracking great. They don’t make GPU hardware and the hardware they do make can’t possibly handle the processing power its resolution requires. Other headsets have understood this limitation and weren’t trying to design an OS. Again apple has no choice here. They don’t have desktop machines to provide input to the headset and they are way too far up their own ass to allow input from a PC.

I thought the same thing. Apple doesn’t make GPUs, VR gaming at the crazy resolution this headset uses is going to take a high end desktop GPU but Apple’s desktop line up also doesn’t have the GPU power it needs and also doesn’t support installing discrete GPUs. This headset has no possibility of being used on a PC so a lot of work went into finding ways to limit the GPU workload.
