Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?
If you're just talking about WMR devices (and not VR in general), then no, they don't require an account. The Reverb G2 is the most supported by Monado (and has the best hardware), but I'd try to get the V2 revision. And the cable is a common failure point, so could be an issue with a used purchase.
Turnout is typically very poor amongst young people. It will be interesting to see how much young people vote, and the gender breakdown. Because if turnout is consistent across gender, then any of those gains will be wiped out by young women leaning strongly progressive (or at least, liberal).
Not to put too fine a point on it, but those documents were stolen in DC, not Florida. Sure there could be “both”, but seriously.
I believe the idea was that if he was convicted in Florida by a Republican biased jury, there would be fewer claims of it being rigged or whatever. Seems stupid in hindsight since Cannon ended up being assigned the case.
I'd guess it was an attempt to keep the title succinct, then not proofing it properly. In any case, always read the article before commenting as titles are frequently misleading (intentional or not).
I've seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they'll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).
Youtube isn't just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn't a good alternative to much of it.
That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.
The drivers for your card needs to support the required extensions, and the hardware needs to support the particular codecs as well. So if you don't have already have encoding/decoding support for the given codec with OGL etc, this won't add it most likely.
The main benefit is that application devs won't need to add multiple hardware decoding/encoding APIs, and can just target Vulkan. Cross platform support in particular is currently a mess due to the different APIs on Windows/Linux/Mac, so this will simplify things greatly. Eventually, driver devs will be able to just support Vulkan too, but that's a long way off.
It's just a pretty typical comparison with rich, highly developed Western democracies. Considering the US has the highest GDP in the world, and also the country that spends the most on healthcare per capita, coming last is damning.
I'm not holding my breath but hopefully it increases youth turnout of women. Which is a group that is much more progressive than young men, but both have poor turnout compared to older people.
I'm not sure how this helps Trump. He's not some upstart like in 2016 where people didn't know that much about him and the publicity benefited him. All this is doing is solidifying the racist vote, which he already had locked in. The increasing craziness and utter stupidity is going to continue to peel off the slightly more reasonable, and the Democrats can sit back and let the Republicans tear themselves apart.
Or just use tailscale/headscale/netbird and keep the underlying wireguard performance.
