The browser does not influence your download/upload speeds, with the exception of Tor, because it sends your traffic through a series of VPNs.

I don't know what you measured, but it's not the difference between browsers.

If it's a well-known artist, looking them up on Wikipedia is a good way to get an idea what genre they make. A website that does this for all songs individually would probably be AI-powered and wrong most of the time.

An unpopular opinion can have more or less thought put into it and be genuinely interesting and get up- or downvoted accordingly. Just like a photograph in a photography sub can have more or less thought put into it and an interesting or boring subject and get up- or downvoted accordingly.

Genuine photograph and the people downvote it... In a community named "photography".

Sounds like utter nonsense doesn't it

Yes, because infrastructure, subsidies, education and social spending still need to happen and not paying your taxes will erode those things long before they stop a genocide. If you don't care about getting in trouble with your government, there are more effective things that can be done.

Mind you, I'm not saying vision pro is not promising or useful. I'm saying, that in a corporate environment, it's very hard to find a business case where you'll be able to justify the >3500€ price tag to your manager.

The best business case I can think of right now, would be for development teams that want to get started developing VR apps. Likely that's also what all of these companies bought one for.

But you state a lot of things as fact, so I should ask, have you used one at all?

Unfortunately I have not. It hasn't been released where I live yet. The closest I have gotten is my Quest 3.

You dismiss "editing videos" as if that's not an incredibly useful to be able to do that.

It is really useful. But if you're already editing videos professionally, it needs to be an upgrade over what you're using right now. An upgrade big enough that it makes back the cost of adjusting your workflow and the 4000€ investment.

Classical VR use cases like simulators and 3D design are better served by competitors. Most of the software runs on Windows or Linux, and you'll likely want the most ludicrously powerful graphics card(s) you can fit into a computer, which an M3(?) chip is notably not. Also proper controllers are generally useful for professional VR applications.

But at least it's good for productivity, right? Wrong. For productivity purposes, it's effectively an iPad Pro with an infinitely large screen, awful battery life, that is somewhat bulky to transport and costs at least 4000$ by the time you have a keyboard and a reasonable amount of storage. And all of that for a device on which you, as of now, can effectively only write emails and edit videos on.

Supposedly Nvidia has become a lot better on Linux lately. They finally dropped their weird framebuffer API or whatever (the one that was the reason for horrible Wayland compatibility and also caused a heated Linus Torvalds moment), and I think they even made their linux drivers open source.

"Allowing hackers to obtain her IP address" - and then? Just getting someone's IP address shouldn't get you very far. That's what firewalls are for.

For most of the code, I don't think anything special is used.

Compiling the code already obfuscates it enough. Most function, type and variable names are removed, the compiler does some optimizations and what you end up with is already pretty indecipherable code soup.

There are obfuscators that make the resulting binaries even harder to read/decompile, but further obfuscation also makes your code run slower.
