I’d like to see their charging network survive in some way, maybe under someone else’s control. From what I’ve heard from EV owners the Tesla charging stations are the only ones that are readily available especially outside of cities (at least here in Australia).

It’s owned by Canva, so I’d be willing to bet their next release will we some kind of web version - in that case there would be no need to port it.

I doubt there’s any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that’s why so many archive sites exist.

It’s been viable for enthusiasts for a while, but the reason it’s not mainstream is most normal people just don’t want it. It’s clumsy, cumbersome, the content is generally poor, and it’s either a Meta product or very expensive for something that’s ultimately a gimmick at the moment. Not to mention the “metaverse” tarnishing VRs image.

Even Apple couldn’t make it successful with today’s tech. Best case scenario IMO; company’s starting long term VR moonshot projects right now might have something with mainstream appeal in the distant future.

VR won’t be viable until it’s transparent and unobtrusive; a contact lens, for example. A giant headset that you strap on to your face just isn’t appealing to most customers outside of the initial novelty factor.

Sony AI has been a division of SIE for quite a while now. They were training AI to play Gran Tourismo years ago.

A big heat sink like they used to put on WD Raptor drives.

Hotmail still exists?

Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.

Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.

It will definitely depend on the ISP, but generally for repeated “AUP” violations they will suspend your service entirely.

Interestingly it’s often not technically the data usage that triggers this, its how much utilisation (generally peak utilisation) you cause and high data usage is a by product of that. Bandwidth from an ISP’s core network to their various POIs that customer connections come from is generally quite expensive, and residential broadband connections are fairly low margin. So lets say they’ve got 100Gbps to your POI that could realistically service many thousands of people, a single connection worth €/$10-15 a month occupying 10% of that is cause for concern.

If you do 800TB in a month on any residential service you’re getting fair use policy’ed before the first day is over, sadly.
