The accuracy may as well be summed up as minimal. If they can't be bothered to hire a presenter then they sure as hell can't be bothered to hire journalists, fact checkers or anything else. They have no reputation to throw into disrepute, no organisation to be held to account, nobody accountable at all. At best it's just some frontend aggregator that mangles stories it scrapes from elsewhere, or it hallucinates them, or it's deliberately spreading clickbait or outright disinfo.

In addition to the slop which is narrated by AI I've seen multitple channels masquerading as news reports where the "person" is very clearly AI. Something normally gives it away like the facial expressions not emoting, or the body movements seeming not quite right, or the way they face the camera, or some kind of plastic / tone issue. But sooner or later these things will be imperceptible.

Government really need to get on top of this and require AI generated content to be watermarked and very clearly labelled on social media platforms.

Delete "4) public services, i.e." above

Waymo and their ilk are trying to replace public transport with their own for-profit self interests. When their cars kill occupants, or pedestrians, or other road users, or generally become a nuisance, driving slowly or unpredictably or violating laws then why should anyone accept it?

They might claim safety but they have an obvious conflict of interest in being truthful. While I trust Waymo more for transparency that Tesla, the reality is all of these things should be held to regulatory scrutiny and independent research and there should be a statutory obligation to provide data that makes independent appraisal possible. And those appraisals should become published safety ratings for the service based on things such as 1) safety for occupants, pedestrians and other road users - not just road accidents, but robberies, attacks, 2) making progress, i.e not dawdling or driving erratically, 3) adherence to the law, 4) public services, i.e.

In addition, cities and governments should limit the fleet size of these services, tax them to fund public transport, compel non-discrimination of service, and amend road traffic laws to prosecute & criminally charge companies and board members if they are found negligent. And maybe, just maybe with all that in place then fatalities might be deemed acceptable, counterbalanced by the reputation and criminal liability these companies are under.

"being compelled to truthfully report our environmental impact is hurting our free speech!!!"

People usually sit so far back from the screen they cannot distinguish individual pixels. After that point it hardly matters if the TV is 4K or 1080p because either way it's the same. A modern 4K TV doesn't just bump pixels of course and probably has better colour reproduction, depth, contrast, backlighting, latency etc which improves the picture in other ways. And satellite / streaming might offer a higher bitrate which means less visible artifacts. But for video games I think I'd drop the resolution if the console is able to deliver a higher framerate, or more effects by doing so.

It's one thing to make their vehicle software better so people have less reason to use their phone. But taking away the choice is just greed. It is obviously intended to monetize the user - analytics gathering, ads, upselling,"premium" services & subscriptions and a shittier experience for anyone fool enough to buy these cars.

No, it's the Oculus 3 and the way it supports PC - it compresses video and that degrades the image and introduces latency. It's not uncommon to see blanks around the periphery motion tracking from the way it does this. In addition to that, tethering is almost impossible because of the way the USB cable in the Oculus is designed with the cable sticking out the side. Fortunately it does wifi which works but only for people right next to their router. Not to mention the overall clunkiness of having to boot into Oculus, wait for that to launch, navigate to SteamVR, then wait for that to connect and finally launch games. Not to mention that some games clearly haven't been tested very well with the Oculus display / controllers and have issues. Not to mention having to install Meta Quest Link and the added bloat of that.

Does that mean it can't be used? No. As I said, the experience is okay but its not great for all the reasons above. If you really wanted to game with Steam VR and didn't care about mobile gaming you'd be better off buying a dedicated headset which is properly supported.

I have an Oculus 3. The PC gaming experience is okay but it's not great.

That's assuming it has OpenXR drivers and you spend even more money on controllers. Might as well just buy an Oculus, or a wired headset if that's your intention.

It's an expensive, clunky, fragile headset with some lame apps and a crappy interface. It doesn't even have the good grace to be good for gaming. Same goes for the Vision Pro only more so since it costs 2x as much again.

Oculus is a reasonable VR experience - lots of games, mobile, plus PC connectivity (although not as good as a wired headset). If you were really into PC gaming then the investment in a cable based headset might be worth it. But VR is always going to be something of a gimmick - fantastic for racing / flight sims, and some other titles make it work, but the majority of VR games are trash.

So Meta employees were literally training their replacements.

The stupidest thing about pickups is the actual load bed is almost vestigial in a lot of models - it's so short it's useless for anything. People buy them to drive their kids to school and buy shopping imagining they're going to offroad or go camping when most of them never leave tarmac.

It could be an issue if vans were being used for purposes they weren't designed for. But these "last mile" type vans have a planned route which isn't enormous - they travel the route, they go back to the depot and they recharge for the next day. It should be very easy for operators to maintain a fleet of vehicles suitable for different tasks and they don't all have to be electric, but where it makes sense then they should be.
