The idiots behind this shit really should have paid more attention in history class.

Oh, they paid plenty of attention. That’s the problem - they’re using it as an instruction manual.

Solid state batteries don’t exist yet.

So you start with this, but then…

provide you accept that we should making zero emissions chemical fuels

Why do you think we’re magically going to find zero emission chemical fuels but aren’t going to make solid state batteries? I mean, aside from your being a pretty obvious fossil fuel stooge?

Terrible take.

Solid state batteries will get figured out well before useful non-polluting chemical fuels, rocketing BEVs beyond ICE’s wildest dreams.

The only benefit of ICE over BEV is quick refueling, and that only matters if you’re roadtripping.

The solution is fast-charging BEVs. Edmunds just released a roundup of EV charging times, and showed that with some Hyundais/Kias, you can get 100 miles of range juiced up in 7-8 minutes. Obviously, yes, that’s still slower than dumping some dead dinos in your gashole and taking off, but it’s still pretty quick.

With further technological refinements over time and infrastructure built to give you something to do during 15-20 minute charges, road trips will be perfectly feasible without ICE and will actually probably be more pleasant.

Fair points, yes, but I was speaking within the context of companies that are actually producing handheld PCs. None of the other potentially capable companies you’ve mentioned have shown any indication that they care to enter the space.

The big question with that plan, though, is what’s in it for Valve/Epic? Valve has no incentive to let anyone else in on their cut, and Epic’s is so low already there wouldn’t be any room to let anyone else in on it with them.

I suppose Epic could try to get a deal in place where EGS is installed as the default store on the Ally or Legion, but it’s not like anyone’s going to just stick with the default - first thing anyone will do is just install Steam, and everyone knows it. I don’t see a way for a deal like that to make sense for Epic to even bother with.

Author can’t seem to understand that Valve’s the only company that can properly do the console-style “subsidize hardware cost based on the cut you’ll get from selling the games” method in the PC space. Asus, Lenovo, Ayaneo - they don’t have the luxury of maybe taking a bit of a haircut on the hardware and then more than making it up on the back end via software sales. They only get paid for the initial sale and then they’re done, so their devices are going to have to be more expensive.

Big agree, but that particular snake’s in the Senate rather than the House.

If we could set a new precedent — especially from individuals in the House who have tried to fight the status quo — that the House does not welcome liars, fraudsters and people who have made a mockery of the institution.

Okay, so get Santos out, then do Bobo, Marge, Gaetz, and Gym Jordan.

while the president is only max 8 years.

10, technically, but it doesn’t change your point. Just felt like doing an ackshully.

I’m not saying dude’s right (not saying he’s wrong, either, mind), but Boomers have been trying to choke out everyone outside of their cohort (and a significant chunk of those in their cohort, for that matter) for decades. The sooner they’re out of the way, the sooner the rest of us can start picking up the pieces they’ve left us.

let them spend a week in jail all expenses paid.

All expenses paid? But that’s SOCIALISM!!

Bill them for their time in the clink, it’s what they would want.

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

The speculation for a while (and, frankly, the direction I’d love to see them go in) is that the work on the Deck was going to be a stepping stone to a standalone VR headset. Take what they learned in VR with the Index and then what they learned in portable PCs with the Deck and slap the two together to get a real Quest competitor out there.

There’ve even been numerous leaks over the years (even pre-Deck) about a standalone headset internally labeled “Deckard”.

Hell, half the country thinks he was still a perfectly good gun owner while he was killing those people.

Wendover did a good video that covers this a few months back.

Hopefully that message is “eat the rich” and not “starve the poor”.

I wouldn’t go holding my breath. He’s pretty clearly on the ignorant conservative train, he just happens to maybe be a little less racist than most of them.
