Sounds idiotic to me. Non-linear steering is great, but any sort of dynamic/adaptive steering that changes according to conditions is stupid beyond belief and will cause an endless stream of accidents because the driver can no longer predict how the car will react to similar steering motions.

Wow, that's great insight. Glad you're around to lend your experience to those idiots at BMW and Mercedes, who clearly haven't thought of this when deploying the technology.
Do you find it difficult to look at your Samsung Gear smart watch when wearing the 3D glasses for your TV? Oh, and what's your wifi SSID? I thought it was "COOLBOX" but that's just your smart fridge.
HINT: Companies pursue and push out tons of tech and features that are shit.
Very old news. I'm not sure about the US, but Euro and Asian car makers have been using similar electric power steering systems (assisted by a motor in the steering column or steering rack) since the early 2000's.
Also... Electric power steering systems are NOT fly by wire. A physical link still remains between the steering wheel and wheels. The EPS system could loose power or malfunction and you would still be able to steer ok.
(I've just retrofitted EPS from a 2006 Toyota RAV4 into a 1990 Toyota Celica)
What if it malfunctions and actively fights against you?
Why even bother printing guns when you can just buy a legally unregulated upper, a trigger assembly, and an 80% lower reciever blank then just mill the blank and assemble a fully working, untraceable and unserialed AR-15?
Why even bother printing documents when you can just buy blank paper, pens, and a ruler then just copy the document by hand?
When you start comparing crime rates, violent crime rates, gun deaths, or any other socially important data, you really need to pay careful attention to terminology. It matters little that the UK may experience only 1% of our gun deaths, if they also experience 800% of our violent crime rate. After you are mutilated or dead, is it really going to matter to you that you were killed with a gun, or a knife, or a stone, or you were choked to death? Violent crime is violent crime.
Given the choice, I think I'd rather be shot to death, than bludgeoned to death. The suffering is likely to end much, much sooner.
BOTTOM LINE: liberals, progressives, and socialists always want to disarm the public. But, disarming the public never makes the public any safer. It only makes it safer for GOVERNMENT TO OPPRESS THE PEOPLE!!
Ask any number of infamous people, starting with Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao tse Tung.
3840*2160*24*120 = 22.25 Gbps. DisplayPort 1.3 is 32.4 Gbps, so we're covered for 4K @ 120 Hz or 8K @ 60 Hz. Cut in half for 3D.
HDMI 2.0 is limited to 14.4 Gbps, so you end up with half as many frames when compared to DP. You can subsample your chroma to 4:2:0, but that shit is optional so all your devices in the chain have to support it. A dedicated player may be smart enough to know the BluRay it's playing is 4:2:0 and see that behind the receiver is a TV that supports 4:2:0, and then output 4:2:0 4K @ 120 Hz. But I sure as fuck am not going to switch my PC over to shitty color mode to watch a movie then switch it back, nor am I going to make my games look like shit by throwing away 75% of the fucking chroma.
So...Google is strong arming ISPs to deliver the bandwidth they promised (which you paid for), and that's bad all of a sudden? And I think you can't fathom the amount of traffic that YouTube gets, so your sense of "margin of error" is probably orders of magnitude off. And at the end of the day, if I don't get my HD stream, then I don't have an HD cat video stream. I don't fucking care if it's within your "margin of error".
If you don't like this tool, well, go find something else that is reasonably objective, not "optimized" by the ISPs, and comes even close to the confidence of this data. Good luck with that.
Wrong. This is the exact same shit Netflix pulled with "Super HD". It has nothing to do with the capability of the ISP to provide the connection to the user or to a peer. It has everything to do with whether or not the ISP has agreed to run caching servers for Netflix/Google within their network. Netflix used the "Super HD" horse shit make users bitch to their ISPs, who in turn ended up accepting Netflix's shitty agreements about hosting their boxes. Google will be doing the exact same thing.
It's got NOTHING to do with your ISP or your actual Youtube experience, it's got EVERYTHING to do with shaming ISPs who aren't accepting Google's terms until users bitch and force them to do so. The question is will Google artificially limit Youtube on ISPs that hold out like Netflix did with Super HD? (Alternatively: Will users even be able to tell whether a shitty Youtube experience is a result of artificial limiting or just Youtube's general shittiness?)
The 30Hz frame rate is quadrupled to refresh the pixels at 120Hz on the panel I have.
That makes no fucking sense. Pixels don't need to be refreshed any faster than content is available. If you're dealing with fast motion shit can sometimes look better with blanking (typically achieved in LCDs by strobing the backlight). But you're running 30 Hz spreadsheets.
Beyond that, it's following the typical blockbuster kickstarter pattern of asking for some palatable/marketable amount $X, with no real plan on how to use / why they need $X specifically. Then they hit $X and start asking for $Y more for "stretch goals" before they even figure out what to do with $X.
People who have to use their own money / satisfy investors / secure a loan tend to plan ahead and think about how much they need and why. People who have their hand out tend to ask for whatever they can get and think about how to spend it later.
It's your typical nVidia anti-competitive bullshit. nVidia's new agreements forbid AMD from seeing code that has GameWorks shit integrated.
That is different from any other proprietary middleware how? Just because they cant share the GameWorks code, that doesnt mean they cant share code that uses the GameWorks libraries.
So AMD gets screwed over because nVidia has the larger market share
The marketshare is 60/40 in the PC market and AMD already has good relationships with developers due to their complete ownership of the console market.
Devs are under the wire and don't have time to fork/merge/redact code all over the place in order to expose a GameWorks-sanitized path for AMD's review.
So supply the GameWorks code as a statically linked binary and everything else as source code.
It's like you didn't read. If you use the GameWorks libraries in your code, you cannot show that code to AMD. It has nothing to do with showing GameWorks libraries or source code itself (devs likely don't have access to GameWorks source code, only the built libraries).
If you have BigAssPage.cpp and it includes a call to a GameWorks library, you cannot share that file with AMD. You have to redact, fork, or selectively copy and paste other shit out to share with AMD. Since GameWorks calls will be interspersed all throughout BigAssPage.cpp, you're kind of fucked if you want AMD's input on your code. There's no reason for the restriction other than to screw over AMD.
Lots of careful wording and dodging by nVidia. Their focused on working with devs to get GameWorks shit integrated into the source code. nVidia can and does see dev source code, if the dev requests such hands-on help. Seeing source code is extremely beneficial for optimization, as is integrating GameWorks directly into the code. nVidia wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't. Yet nVidia expects us to believe that AMD is not disadvantaged by now being unable to see source code. It's your typical nVidia anti-competitive bullshit. nVidia's new agreements forbid AMD from seeing code that has GameWorks shit integrated. So AMD gets screwed over because nVidia has the larger market share and the optimization stage is typically the last part of development. Devs are under the wire and don't have time to fork/merge/redact code all over the place in order to expose a GameWorks-sanitized path for AMD's review.
nVidia really pisses me off with this bullshit. They have great performance and features, but it's ultimately to the detriment of the industry as a whole because they lock shit up so hard that it becomes a novelty that it underutilized in a fractured market (see PhysX).

Which noname Chinese tablet has the Surface Pro 3's (or 2's, or original's) build quality, driver support, touch screen, keyboard cover thingy, etc. I don't have a Surface (I don't have a tablet or a laptop, either - I use a phone and real desktop) but I've used the original plenty and it's a solid device that no one else is really competing with. If you're going to shit on it at least do so factually.
Remember: German legal system isn't based on precedents.
The US legal system isn't, either. All cases are to be judged on their own merits according to the spirit and letter of the law. "Case law" is not law. Precedent has no legal weight. It's just a way for lazy and incompetent judges to shirk their responsibilities.

even though for 15 years you've been able to just hit the power button and it would turn off properly.
Very large [citation needed]. I'll believe that when I see it. Maybe Windows 8 defaults to shut down (or Pseudo-Sort-of-Shut-Down-but-Really-Hibernate, more likely), but that's a configurable option and there is no way in hell I would just pound the power button before making damn sure what it was set to do.
The default in every version of Windows since at least 98 has been for the power button to safely shutdown the OS and switch the system off. The last time I ever saw the "It is now safe to shut down your computer" prompt was back in Windows 95. Windows 95 and 98 were the first versions of Windows to divorce themselves from DOS, though you could still drop to / boot to (true) DOS and run "win" to start Windows. It's shitty OEMs who change the default from shut down to hibernate / sleep.
What does that have to do with advertising? Advertising isn't speech. It's paid endorsement. It's supposed to be held to standards covering everything from truth, to content, to placement, to loudness. If a candidate wants a platform on TV they can go and give their own opinion all day long on any channel that will have them. If they want to BUY spots where their only contribution was a "I'm Dick Dickhole and I approve this message" line slapped on at the end, then it's an AD, and it is NOT speech. If they want to call me and ask for my vote, that's speech and it's fine. If they want to robocall everyone with a recording or have volunteers monkey call everyone and read a script, then it's advertising and it's bullshit.
