The value of WebGPUis that it's available in broswer, and also cross platform available on desktop.
Take the browser availability away and it's just another higher level Vulkan wrapper imo
Windows will most likely be using DirectX. Much to people's surprise, Vulkan is not in fact, available everywhere. Further, there is integrating other Windows features (DirectVideo, DirectComposite, etc...)
Europe not being dependent on foreign oil is a worthy goal as well, it's not the US whcih could supply it's oil use domestically.
A lot of green infrastructure is also expensive upfront, but cheaper over the full lifespan. It's the kind of investment I like to see goverment making.
I think age cohortand school makes a difference. Personally I had a perfectly fine time in highschool, most people just got along. Same problems as other posters though, it's just anecdote, and a heavily biased sampling (pretty decent chunk of CS people with poor social skills)
Forcing ADB may as well be a ban, if you don't see that, you're pretty out of touch with consumers. Sideloading is already hard enough for many, forcing the use of an extra computer, a dev tool in the CLI, and dev mode is way way outside what people will do
Also if the majority of sideloaders go away because it's become more difficult, what will happen to the development scene? Will it stall out from lack of developer interest because there's such a small audience compared to before? (Despite it still being possible.)
There's no spite or emotion, it's a company. They want to kill NewPipe etc. to force everything through apps they control and can monetize. It's just about money.
A company is a group of individuals acting together for a goal that could not individually be achieved, the legal personality of the company exists to reduce (not eliminate) the liability and coherently steer the members of it. Those shareholders/business partners individually wouldn't be able to earn this much money nor have this much work done by employees of each.
The number of people that don't even own a general purpose computer is huge. And for those that do, ADB is a ridiculous thing to get setup for a particular device. I get paid to work on android software, and I don't even want to put up with the hassle.
Yes. And a bigger question is, why should I have to? This is a perfectly functional computer, it is more than capable of downloading a file and running it.
It's really sad that Apple and Google (and to some extent MS though they're just behind in this race to the anti-consumer bottom) happened upon this "solution to malware" (note: not a real solution) of "OS vendor vets and controls all software." It's a lazy way, it's an ineffective way, and it has made computers - incredibly flexible, programmable devices - more like cable boxes or telephones from past decades, that you had to rent from a monopolist and had no control over.
You could make a glossy PC client around it. On the meta quest there's an app called SideQuest that does just that because meta doesn't permit apps to install other apps. It's still a fairly big thing there.
I'm happy about the adb loophole, but I'm worried this would be just the start of the slippery slope, and Google would find a way to lock down adb next, citing the risk of malware sideloaded by fancy tools wrapping adb, once they start popping up.
Worth noting that wbesockets in the browser don't allow custom headers and custom header support is spotty accross sever impls.
It's just not exposed in the javascript API. There has been an open chrome bug for that for like 15 years
I think it's also in large part due to the demographics of ev buyers today. Still a lot of wealthy early tech adopters who specifically want the newest thing.
Not yet driven by utility value ( not that cars ever really are, lower end but ICE vehicles are much closer to that)
This isn't car specific, it's new technology specific.
