Good idea, electric vehicles and cell phones for sale in the USA should have their battery capacity stated in BTU (British thermal units) to demonstrate their support of the imperial unit system.

Wow, that's another shocker, LiDAR in a ~$15k car?? Here, even a $100k car doesn't get you LiDAR.

Knowing little and being honestly curious: Can you elaborate on what's so incredibly annoying about the Nvidia Jetsons? E.g. if someone wanted to integrate a Jetson SOM into a custom data acquisition board, what else (of comparable function/performance) would you recommend they use instead?

Thanks!

of otherwise barren land and legislation to create net positive results. I think this is a great idea.

I think you are right. Makes me think back on how I once got a new comforter with a "microfiber" fabric shell, you know this smooth fake silky type of fabric. When I fluffed up that comforter, it released so much fiber dust that the air looked hazy, and the surrounding surfaces were suddenly covered with a layer of "dust" of the same color as the comforter. Even washing it didn't help. Now i know it was literally a microplastic-spewing health hazard, Ugh.

I tend to agree that Google Chrome gives easier-to-acess, less distracting, and faster search results than Bing, especially with the "images" search tab. In Bing, the link that takes you to the *actual* result is tiny and easy to miss. If you click anywhere else in the image, it will advance to the next image result.

Additionally, Bing just comes across as much more of a "have a look at one of THESE sponsored search results" pusher than Google. I hate that, too.

Bing = clutter and overt ad-pushing
Google = cleaner, more subtle ad-pushing

Just my 5 cents

If it ain't broke don't fix it - in that sense, I wish Nvidia would just do a die shrink of the GTX 1080 to achieve half the original TDP, but keep or improve the performance of the original, and then sell it for a good price.

Regarding 2560x1440, it's actually a great resolution for gaming at high frame rate and with a lot of details. First, because there are fast monitors available, such as Samsung Odyssey G6 or G7 VA at 240Hz, LG 27GR95QE-B OLED at 240Hz, or Asus PG27AQN IPS at 360Hz. Second, many slightly older games can sustain 120Hz and above frame rates easily at 2560x1440 on a decent GPU.

But with newer games, there is hardly any GPU that can fully utilize such a monitor.

For example ... is there yet an affordable GPU that can run GTA-V or Red Dead Redemption at 2560x1440 with high details and eye candy, while sustaining a minimum of at least 120fps?

I still prefer to watch movies on Blu Ray or DVD, because the quality is visibly better than streaming. Redbox Blu Ray rentals are my preferred source, the selection is good enough. And those TV shows that are only on streaming get boring and lose their storyline quality too quickly, so they aren't really worth bothering with - sadly even the better shows like The Expanse eventually devolve in a sea of evermore far-fetched ideas (=writing material) and refuse to come to a good conclusion.

If you can't get elected on actual merits, you need to get creative to stay relevant. Nothing to see here, except another lame attempt to one-up each other in who can pander to a certain populace most effectively.

Wow. This is hacking by "social engineering" except your gaslighting an AI. I somehow find this ability and behavior way more interesting - and perhaps illustrative - than the standard replies ChatGPT provides.

The first browser to enable 1080p video streaming in Linux for Netflix and Amazon Prime will definitely capture some additional market share.

Molnupiravir is good, but it shouldn't become an excuse to avoid vaccination, that's all.

Molunipiravir works by being highly mutagenic for the virus, so much that the virus stops working entirely. Apparently it's safe for mammalian cells, but the mechanism of action seems a little unsettling...

Indeed, Reddit seems to be a rather civilized corner of the Internet. Helpful info without trolls.

With the right kind of donation, he might end up being pardoned yet...
