There are sadly no worthy FOSS alternatives, at least for real work. But for creating memes gimp would be plenty

Yeah, if I were Microsoft I would implement spyware in a way that is least intrusive to the user experience. Prioritizing the telemetry data using QoS would only incentivize users to find ways to disable the telemetry, while providing no benefit to Microsoft. What's the use for them receiving the telemetry data slightly faster, it's much more important to them that it arrives at all

I wouldn't really call VR dead when headset sales are increasing every single year. The Quest 2 has sold half as many units as there are PS5s

3rd party leaf batteries already exist

The Hyundai Ioniq was like that, sadly they discontinued it

Not just protein, also tons of vitamins and healthy unsaturated fats. They have to feed a chick for 21 days before it hatches, so it's only natural that they are rich in nutrients

It seems unlikely that we will have fully self-driving cars soon

Maybe not from Tesla, but Mercedes already sells 2 cars which have limited Level 3 self driving functionality. Up to 50 mph you are legally allowed to divert your attention from the road and do something else, you just need to be ready to take back control within 10 seconds of the car telling you to do so. Mercedes is so confident in that system that they are taking legal liability for any crashes caused while the car is in self driving mode. And Mercedes is already planning to get the car certified for speeds up to 75mph soon, so it will be usable at regular highway speeds

No one seems to be enforcing that part of his sentence, judging by the fact he recently came out with a new flashcard for the Nintendo switch, and people already found proof he is behind it

Piracy is not a lot of work nowadays. Setting it up once takes some time, but after that everything is automated. If I want to watch a movie or show, I enter my overseer URL into a browser, search the name of it, click on request, and a few minutes later it will be ready to watch on my Plex and Jellyfin, that are also shared with friends and family so they can also browse my library and request stuff easily

On PC? Yes. On consoles? Depends on the console
