Big tax incentives for business to buy ev's - 2% Vs 30% tax as a 'benefit in kind'. The two Tesla drivers I know both bought through their business and then gave it to themselves as a company perk.

However, Britain must try harder here. Other EVs are available.

You're correct. I guess they're comparing against compressed pngs. Judging from the image at least.

But still, I think they're cherry picking one of the worst formats to make the comparison look good.

Not to say that means this is bad. Just the cost/benefit is not nearly as good as it appears. We need comparisons against ETC or DXT.

The performance cost is not insignificant.

And comparing it to uncompressed original pngs is disingenuous. No games are using uncompressed textures.

I think a lot of people down voting this need to read it again. They're not saying you should go faster because someone is close behind, they're saying go slower.

If they're 5m behind you, the safe speed is 20. If they're 2m behind you the safe speed is 10. (Numbers pulled out of my hat).

The lengths we go to hand medical cannabis to the pharma industry...

I mean it's a plant. Throw some seeds in a pot of soil. Done.

There's a whole section of law that determines when the police are able to take DNA samples or fingerprints, and more laws for how long they can keep that information.

It's regulated. And bringing face recognition under biometric regulation is a no-brainer.

I'm on a Poco right now. The hardware is great, so once you remove as many invasive built in apps as you can you've got yourself a great deal.

Look up how to use adb bridge to remove apps. Most are safe to remove, SOME are not. There are lists online that will tell you which is which for your make and model.

A lot of them are fixed for a period of time. Between 2 and 5 years is pretty common I think. After that you get another fixed rate for a period.

Mortgages rates have been falling for the last 12 months so it's people who went on a fixed rate prior to that.

I remember this being announced to a big fan fare... And now it's being quietly dropped. Shame on them. 1%? They didn't even try.

Anyone who hasn't played this game should do so now. It's a thing of real beauty.

Quality content. Thankyou.

A lot of these techniques are having a bit of a resurgence for mobile vr where performance is so important. Blob Shadows in 2024 who would have thought it.

Thankyou for digging past the headlines and showing your findings. No one has the time to do it all the time but together we can.
