Give me a nice local root beer.

In terms of mass production, Sunkist was my favorite. I don't really drink any any more though.

When you just make up imaginary phantom shit, no one is going to bother refuting it.

It's not just a "competitive product". iPads are the entire tablet space.

Oh, didn't notice you were the valve troll.

Carry on with your bullshit.

Do you know what open source means?

They're not relying on Valve's goodwill. The license explicitly permits this.

Yes. The exact same reason you admitted that you can't pass through a monitor is the reason it cannot possibly be used for any productivity requiring text. The density real monitors have is the density you have to have for productivity use.

Text is not mediocre. It's absolute, blow your brains out trash. You cannot do meaningful reading on it.

They could be paying licensing per user for some third party solution that meets the security requirements of stuff like remote unlocking. (Yeah, they also could do it themselves, at the cost of hiring a couple security experts, and the scale should make it pretty cheap per car, but a lot of the times companies like to hire it out so they have someone to point to if there are flaws.)

They could also just not care and do a shitty job, but doing the software part correctly isn't free either. But yeah, cellular with how little they use it and economies of scale isn't going to be a massive outlay, but it's something that makes some sense to have behind a paid service. Right now it's not a huge cost, but down the road, if they're paying for 20 years of cars worth of connectivity when most of them aren't used, it could add up to meaningful expenses that are pointless.

Purdy was awful in the third quarter. Just couldn't hit a throw, and a bunch of them were easy.

He played well to finish out the game though.

I'm betting they're paying more than the servers per car for the cellular connectivity.

It's not what we pay obviously. But it's not free either.

I promise none of these people are using a VPN. IP is plenty.

Chrome never claimed it was spoofing any of those details, and spoofing those details without clearly telling the users what they're doing and why would murder the user experience. Their position as a browser had literally no impact on that tracking.

That's the generous best case of what you can tell a computer to display to, and it is still guaranteed to make text look like absolute shit.

It is not possible to use the terrible resolution of any of the quests to replace multiple physical monitors for productivity. The displays are bad for literally everything but entertainment.
