Known unknown(s) at 7.14% and rising over the Linux stat. Could these also be Linux and perhaps BSD desktops?

Are they reelin' in the years?

Ni-MH production for EVs was effectively shutdown by Texaco and later Chevron through patent acquisitions.

I feel the same, though having more options for lightweight DEs is better. I came from gnome 2 after Ubuntu switched to Unity DE back in the day. Xubuntu ran nice on all of my kids low power devices and it became my desktop as well ever since. It's just as happy on my work laptop as well as Ryzen thread ripper with 3 rtx4000s and 3 magewell hdmi capture cards we use for visualization at work too. It really feels like a solid DE with less fuss than most.

I tried the Oculus 2 and liked that it gave me a very physical way to game as opposed to sitting in a chair. Unfortunately the weight on my head and sweaty headpiece were ultimately a turnoff. The glasses style devices (XReal, Viture, etc) are a much better fit for me and mine has 3DOF motion tracking so it works as mouse view in most games without requiring VR support. It's much lighter and I can wear them for hours without the strain and sweat. Newer glasses are coming with cameras for 6DOF, hand tracking and eye-tracking is not to far off as well.

These glasses are powered by a phone or a pc with USB DP alt mode. This gets the battery and processor off the head and makes for an un-tethered experience (with a phone).

There's at least as much of a "massive discrepancy" between what Valve and Epic provide as value to people that chose their service.

thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!

As far along as emulation has come, I'd like to see a proper Little Big Planet port with multi-player and local server support.

This is why is why it bugs me when car manufactures design EVs without a charging port on the passenger side.

There was mention in December that Collabora are working on supporting Maxwell (Geforce 700 series) based cards.

I think American citizens of Japanese descent would disagree with your good old days assessment of how Americans were treated by their own government during WW2. They certainly had their liberty and livelihoods taken from them. Furthermore people of color in general were still under the thumb of institutionalized racism that continues to this day. Do you believe they were better off back then too?

This puts the concept of Disney employees in costumes as "cast members" in a rather diminished light.
