Even scanning over the network works on Linux on my Brother MFP. I really didn't expect that.

They weren't called the 'me' generation for nothing.

Most of hydrogen's problems are solvable - we can pack a car with hydrogen tanks, make hydrogen with electrolysis, build infrastructure, etc.

The big killer is price. Those hydrogen filling stations aren't $1000 each like home chargers or $50,000 each like DC fast chargers, they're something like 2 million dollars each. And you need them everywhere, there's no home filling to carry most of your usage.

The hydrogen you put in them? You have to pay for not just the electricity that makes it into your car's electric motor, but all the energy that was wasted along the way:

Nobody's looking to spend all that money on filling stations, and nobody's interested in paying 2-3x as much to fill their car.

I think they were pro-hydrogen, and now they're using hydrogen as an excuse not to do battery EVs.

People who have heard of hydrogen cars but haven't looked at how inefficient and expensive they are still think that they're the future.

Naw, cheating at life is if your Daddy owns an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa, then you get smart people to do the thinking and PR for you.

There's a risk that you'll start to believe your own PR and try to do it yourself, though. I can't imagine that going well.

Yeah, but Reddit makes pennies per user from showing them ads, so they're still losing money.

Rather than laughing all the way to the bank, it's more of a forced chuckle on the way to the dole office.

It's $2-3/month, but that's assuming all your existing users convert to paid subscriptions.

The issue devs had was that it was going to mostly be the heaviest users who would be willing to pay for a subscription. The people who spend many hours per day using the app and rack up $20/month in API charges.

Last I heard, iThings weren't allowed to have other browsers, everything just had to be a different UI on top of Safari.

Okay, but for now all the "RIP Reddit" posts give migrating Reddit users a feeling of, "So this is where the other people like me went."

Why don't titles sponsored by one company also do extra work for free to support a different company's competing proprietary technology?

Gee, I wonder.

Article doesn't say a single word about NVIDIA titles that don't support FSR, either.
