When someone writes a piece of software and uses "#include ...", or "import ...", etc, do you come to them and tell them they didn't write the solution on their own?

Let's ignore that fact that you're saying "this isn't just a VR device" and then immediately describe the basic functionality of a VR device.

You really think people have been waiting to drop $1k for a device that lets them play games designed for a monitor inside of a headset rendering a larger virtual monitor with all of the additional complexity that brings?

For those priced out of getting an AVP at more than 3x the price on locked down hardware? You don't seem to think that market exists, but I think it does. $3,500 and Apple, or whatev but Facebook are total non-starters for some people while Valve and Linux are.

This reminds me so deeply of the "old" internet that I can't help but want to get into penny pressing machines just for the sake of wanting to find this website useful to me. Just someone with a passion, cataloging it and sharing it with everyone else with no other ulterior motives.

I was just thinking to myself that this is the kind of content that’s perfect for the internet.

Why do you think it always only takes 5 years to develop some superior technology? 5 years seems like a short enough time frame that a company would rather just wait out the patent than invest heavily in R&D in the off chance they come up with a viable alternative (that now of course THEY can only protect for 5 years)

Since you think it's so obvious, please elaborate on what those people on continent x will do

Make their problem everyone else’s problem.

Go to the continent with more water so they can live in a place with more water (as they can't bring the water back - it's too big and too heavy).

The people in continent Y are likely to use extreme violence to stop this from happening, like we see today in the Mediterranean sea where thousands of people are murdered every year.

The same thing they always do?

I totally trusted this vendor selling me this snake oil, and he promised me it would work. I can't believe he let me down. This is all his fault.

Security incompetence doesn’t turn basic meeting recording and transcribing into snake oil.

This game, like just about every game, has zero consequences for failure. This is like saying "Humans were involved in fatal accidents 50% of the time when playing my custom F1 racing simulator". There were no stakes and there was an artificial time constraint. Deriving any sort of takeaway from this data is entirely useless.

Getting behind the wheel of an F1 car on a track involves lots of proving time that you can actually handle such a vehicle. Meanwhile anyone with a credit card can grant an AI system to impersonate their access as a starting point.

There are places/services where you can drive a (few years old, and slightly detuned, but not THAT much) F1 car with little more than a (rather high limit) credit card.

https://www.lrs-formula.com/en/ for instance.

Actually, your example there would be absolutely true. Getting in someone's enthusiast but mid-range F1 simulator toy with all the game assists turned off would both: imply a near fatal accident happening over 50% of the time AND it would be accurate too.

Consider:

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, a former Rally driver at the top level, crashed an F1 car within 100m of trying to go fast in it

And

Mr Beast, a youtuber with zero motorsports experience, crashed a Formula E car on a demonstration lap as part of the pre race F1 festivities.

If a regular person with a drivers license and no familiarity attempted to play even a simulator video game, the results are in fact similar to what happens in the real world.

Just wait until the creators find out about those "strange languages" that people are still typing into computers to make software.
