It was a theoretical thing. Government is supposed to work for the people, not just corporations. Obviously the government in the US is not doing a good job at that.
We really need to focus on more offshore wind for this reason.
So they build them cheaply and doing everything in their power to avoid regulations. We really need the government to come in and shut these down given all the harm they cause to their local environment.

I agree with others on trying to not have one service for everything, which proton is trying to become. An alternative to Proton Mail and Calendar would be Tuta, though I haven’t used them.
I think the frame won’t be impacted as hard. Most of the costs will come from the VR components, which haven’t really gone up.
This machine is designed to be played on a 4k TV. Upscaling may help, but it will hard limit the machine in the future.
This would have been better received if they just didn’t use AI in the name. Sure, it’s just using an LLM under the hood, but it’s running purely locally. It also betters Linux since it helps address an accessibility issue.
It’s stupid how much they are pouring into hardware that might be vastly obsolete. By the time AI becomes truly intelligent, there may be specialized chips that are efficient at running models that blow GPUs out of the water.
Look at how it happened to bitcoin mining. Nobody serious is using a GPU to mine when ASIC is available.
However, I don’t see all this hardware hitting the second hand market once a better solution is found. I’m sure they will keep trying to make compute hard to get for the average person so they can rent out their servers for a crazy price.
Games would ship with multiple discs if required in the past. The issue with no disc at all is that the license cannot be transferred.
