Tech layoffs 2026: Over 92,000 tech jobs vanished by May 2026, with April seeing the worst layoffs in two years. US tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon are cutting staff, citing AI efficiencies and past over-hiring. Despite job cuts, major tech firms are investing heavily in AI, signaling a significant industry shift.
Windfarms produce clean energy with minimal environmental impact and cost.
VR headsets… don’t quite have the same kind of impact. You can easily spend $2000-$3000 and find that your purchase is not at all what you envisioned.
Windmills are exactly what they look like, cheap energy machines that will lower our total cost of energy and reliance on burning substances that people are literally killing each other over, including the current war partially to raise prices for the venezuelan spoils to make investment sense.
Way to miss the point.
I spent $1000 on a VR headset, and it wasn’t what I envisioned. It was way better. Having played in VR, I don’t even bother with flatscreen games anymore. It’s not just putting the screen closer to your eyes. It’s an entirely different paradigm. And it’s fucking kickass.
Everyone I’ve seen whining about how VR isn’t that great and isn’t going to catch on and various problems that they imagine etc is acting like a boomer complaining about cellphones. Or Texans trying to say electric cars are worse than ICE cars
Congrats, i’m glad you like it and doesn’t give you the issues it gave me.
The headset I bought was the original HTC Vive, which was $800 at the time which adjusted for inflation would probably be close to $1500 today. At the time had a 1080ti which was the fastest gpu. I spared no expense, did drill in wall mounting and the whole nine yards, and devoted an entire room to it. Total waste of time, but glad I tried it to realize just how bad it was for me.
