Tesla isn’t the only company making great EVs EU is now full of other impressive machines and BYD is also being out impressive vehicles. Tesla, well reputation is trash. Company su…

Just because it was encrypted doesn’t mean google can’t run some processing. For example encrypted zip files still can show the file names. These file names could be specific or ma…

Sounds like you got some beef with them. What do they have in your mind that is incomplete?

Isn’t atmos not specifically multi channel as in traditional 5.1/ 7.1, but Atmos is positional sound that then generates the correct speaker positioning on the amplifier? For insta…

I don’t understand your critique. Are you saying that European software developers don’t have a passion for shipping products?

Ok, we used a different term and associated attach rate as with console purchase. Either way, just take what I said as games sold with console purchase.

No, a 3 attach rate was huge, I said in a previous reply other consoles at the time were around 1.25. Over the lifetime older consoles needed around 5 games per console to break ev…

Three was huge at the time. Before Xbox 360 the attach rate was estimated at 1.25 for previous consoles. Often due to low games at launch or including a game with the console. Xbox…

To add to this, in Ireland the main retailer for toys was Smyth’s. They didn’t sell the original Xbox because they sold PlayStation and when Microsoft tried to get the Xbox 360 sto…

The consoles used to be sold at a loss, that was back a long time ago, Xbox 360, PS3 I believe were the last generation to be sold at a loss. The next gen Xbox at the time was sold…

Depends on the car. For instance some BMWs will offer the hud now, but not all. And for the maps in the dials that’s only Apple Maps and no other nav software. So yeah it’s not per…

So entirely different experience for me. So 5 years ago I travel to California. Out of all the cars I picked a crappy GM car when there were better cars to pick from the rental lot…

Isn’t the problem with this, that they work till they fail. You can run some software that can tell you how dead the drive is, but you can’t figure how likely it will die. Some dri…

I remember seeing the COGS for Xbox One and it was the same as retail prices. There was no profit from COGS and then you have shipping and associated costs to get the consoles out.…

That’s not entirely true. They gameafy some aspects for sure, but that’s just about accessibility. You can run it like a full sim and there are great videos of real Boeing pilots t…

Twitter... have you ever tried to share a Sharepoint link. Those take up like 4+ lines in emails, it's a nightmare. Back in the day, Microsoft even used to have an internal url sho…

This needs more camera manufacturers adding CFExpress over SD cards. However, there are a large number of other devices such as audio recorders using SD, so this could be wishful t…

Well, you got the meetings with the or agencies, that’s going to cost a ton. Then there is licensing of music which is a known and respected artist. Likely a bunch of other additio…

I was involved in part with the Windows 8 control panel refresh. What a nightmare it was working with that team. There was just no care for actually improving user experience, ever…

France has a great system. You can’t rent a house unless the rent is under 1/3rd of your income. It’s not legally enforced, but is very difficult to rent for more of your pay check…

Shame the comments here are not discussing the reason for them selling a cloth. The nano textured screen is easily scratched if you use paper towels or rough fabric. This just make…

I've moved full to Mac since I purchased Star Citizen. I guess I'll never get a chance to play this.

I would love to boycott amazon, but its near impossible. In France especially with the lockdowns, most of my groceries are delivered either via amazon (for next day delivery) or fr…

Yahoo Japan was a JV between Yahoo and SoftBank. It’s pretty much a huge if not the biggest platform in Japan because of this. Yahoo Japan is not the same as yahoo globally.

I think they did the A/B testing by switching off 100m of ads and having the same results.
