I'm surprised so many people here don't have a desk/keyboard/mouse/multi monitor at home as well. I thought that was a pretty common setup.

I think it started in china/Japan, hit Australia a month later and now has become almost global.

It's more than that, Edge has far more DRM in it.

The difference is china could have contained it with minimal disruption. The only option italy had was to shut down all borders for the next 6 months.

Why even allow the sale in the first place. We don't allow the sale of faulty seat belts and say "well the consumer knew when they got it"

Because technology progresses faster than laws and by the time the laws catch up there are already powerful corporations established based on the lack of those laws.

For example its an obvious public and environmental benefit to require that all phones have a user replaceable battery but until recently they almost all did and now it's too late because every phone maker would lobby against it.

It's not difficult to fix. It's just that corporations want you to throw out and buy a new phone every year. This is what happens when you let the same company make the software and the hardware.

Good VR is absolutely worth it. After getting a VR setup I haven't touched a single none VR game. I recently upgraded to a rx 5700xt and love it.

For the last point I saw that to heat the oceans as fast as we are it would take a nuclear bomb worth of energy set off every second for the last few decades.

Literally anyone who lives in the bay area has a choice to live somewhere else or work remote.

It's a copypasta. OP didn't make up the number 2 but I'm guessing it comes down to 2 being a tolerable number to most people.

I doubt it. My new gpu released in 2019 is 3x as powerful as my 2013 gpu but the new CPUs are mostly only improved in core counts.

Rendering is also an insanly parallelizable task. In the worst case we can always slap 2 of the same gpu on one card and get them to render half the screen or for vr, one gpu per eye.

It seems that people seriously struggle to understand how significant a single degree change in average temperature is.

It would be cool but they haven't done it and we don't have time to sit and wait. If we start self enforcing these rules on ourself then when it comes to election time people will be more open to voting for a government that does this.

Australia had the hottest year on record in 2019 as well as breaking the hottest day on record multiple times in the same week
