Oh hi there person who I’ve upset by expressing my opinion who is now wanting to go back through my post history to find something to use against me! If you’re reading this, it’s because you’ve already lost the argument :)
DLSS is amazing, if it’s available in a game I’m playing I use it.
Ray tracing and path tracing are incredible and the industry needs to quickly cut ties with all hardware that can’t do it. It makes game development significantly quicker, it looks better, and it has genuine gameplay advancements by the very nature of it (like being able to see reflections/shadows of off-screen enemies).
Yeah in the US. There are too many different laws and regulations for me to list since they’re often state specific. Take California for example:
https://www.rkmlaw.net/ridesharing-regulations-in-california/
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has passed laws for the operation of a TNC within the state. These laws involve the following:
Licensing, permit and certification requirements
Mandatory Lyft and/or Uber decals on a vehicle’s front and back passenger-side windshields Insurance requirements, including vehicle liability and workers’ compensation insurance
Minimum TNC driver age requirement of 21 years old, with at least one year of driving history
Department of Motor Vehicle record checks required for all TNC drivers
Annual background checks required for all TNC drivers
Mandatory driver training programs to ensure drivers are safely operating their vehicles
Accessibility plans for individuals with disabilities
A Zero Tolerance Policy for drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Required vehicle inspections once per year or every 50,000 miles, whichever comes first
Prohibition against TNC drivers accepting street hails from potential passengers
Prohibition against TNC drivers transporting more than seven passengers per ride
If Uber, Lyft or another ridesharing company is found to be delinquent in following any of these laws, it could face penalties. The CPUC accepts complaints from the public regarding ridesharing services or drivers who are in violation of any of the state’s TNC laws.
Laws and regulations already exist that all ride share companies have to follow around things like vetting their drivers.
They’re opposing the bills because the things they suggest won’t do anything their existing safety procedures don’t do, and reading the companies security/safety protocols and the proposed new ones it’s pretty clear that they are not needed.
In her lawsuit filed against Lyft in January, Willford alleges she was “subjected to unwelcome, nonconsensual sexual contact, touching” and lewd comments during the ride.
Willford was picked up by a different driver than the person identified in the Lyft app, according to the suit.
How would these new bills have prevented this? How would they prevent a Lyft driver from letting someone else drive their car to pick up passengers? How would they prevent lewd comments during the ride? Riders can already record their entire trip on their phone if they want. These companies already do background checks. They already suspend drivers if complaints are made and deemed serious/real. They already ban drivers who assault people or who let other people drive for them.
What exactly do they think these new bills would solve and how?
You’re a master of stringing a very large number of words together without actually saying anything of any meaning.
You still haven’t given a single specific example of what you’re talking about and how Microsoft’s products don’t allow it.
You’re still not giving specifics or making any sense.
“Information could be a holiday, an insurance”
What on earth are you talking about?
Again - you’re writing a lot but saying nothing.
What exactly are you talking about? Give specifics. What exactly are Microsoft “holding back”? How are they only keeping the status quo by having the most integrated all-in-one ecosystem on the market?
I’m not sure why you expect teams to be innovative in the first place?
You wrote all of that without actually saying anything.
How does any of…… that…… apply to this situation? Microsoft are one of the biggest pushers of “all digital” there is.
What on earth are you talking about by “promotes the old document/paper world”?
You’re way off here. Microsoft are the industry leaders in this space because they’re so far ahead of everyone else because they focus on this stuff. They’re far from lazy, they’re the opposite in fact. As someone who manages the whole MS suite from entra to dev ops all the way to managed instance dbs and defender and everything in between daily, their integration across everything and their pace of updates is insane.
What products specifically are you calling “outdated junk” and why?
You can also do this with lots of email accounts like Gmail - myemail+storename@gmail.com goes to myemail@google.com but lets you easily filter and see who sells/leaked/got hacked your data.
