All of these functionalities can be provided by a simple WebSocket + REST server. The car connects to the WebSocket, and you can access these functionalities from your phone either with WebSockets or regular HTTP requests.

Cheapest servers with backend written in JS can easily handle thousands of WebSocket connections, and written in Go tens of thousands WebSocket connections. They would not ever need like over 100 of these servers GLOBALLY, which would cost them around $3000 monthly.

That's the price of 60 subscriptions, which is freaking ridiculous.

That is because windows filesystem is mounted to WSL through NFS and while transferring large files through that is ok, transferring huge amounts of small files is really slow.

You realize that maintaining a server that would allow that costs pennies?

You wouldn't pay $150 for a lollipop, but somehow people think this is ok.

This problem exists exactly because of people like you, thinking it's OK to pay for the features you already paid for.

You mentioned you changed firewall rules for that device. Any chance you have set outbound rule instead of inbound rule?

Anyway, what's the output of ip route?

I bet in 5 next years, self-checkout registers will be equipped with neural networks allowing them to recognize product standing on it based on camera input and weight, either allowing you to pick between items it thinks it is, or entering it manually. There is already technology allowing for that, it just needs time to be developed into it.

Ah yes, perfect data format, where markup takes more space than the actual data.

Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it's generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.

But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.

It's like you said projectors would replace TVs. But projectors are closer to TV than VR is to a monitor, they are more mature and much closer in price to TVs, yet most people own TV, and projectors are not common.

VR is a niche and always will be. It's not more universal nor more practical than screen, and nothing will change that.

Actually the negation of that implication would be: "I think, and I don't exist", and not "I don't think, therefore I don't exist".

And as always, DRMs fuck only legitimate customers, and pirates can watch anywhere at full quality.

That's one of the reasons I don't feel bad about pirating any more. Not even the cost, but the fact that if you pay you're going to have a worse experience.

Am I too 1Gb/s fiber connected to understand that?

Better in which way? WSL2 is a VM running ALONGSIDE Windows, not inside. Its performance is basically bare metal. If you have enough RAM, there is no reason to use cygwin instead of WSL2.
