For a specific month? Fuck that noise, wake me up when they do it for a fucking half-decade in a single month. That's a real record. This "story" is just marketing fucking fluff made up by idiots.
The PS4 itself does not support delta/diff patches. This is purely the game software/engine, and has nothing to do with the console hardware or its operative software.
What's funny is that the Unreal Engine, along with many other engines, have supported diff updates for a long time yet nobody utilizes them.
It's almost as if they were in bed with the telecom companies to make updates take so much fucking data so that they can effectively charge for that data once they go over-cap. Your steam library needs updating? My last update took 700GB, over fifteen games. Guess what most of those updates actually were? EULA updates. They literally made me redownload the entire goddamned game just for an EULA update. That makes ZERO sense unless they're getting paid to force ISP customers over their data caps or their programmers are just that fucking utterly incompetent. Either way, these companies should be sued for incurring us these charges.
"Add to that that most TVs include some postprocessing pipeline that takes around 100ms when you do not have game mode on."
That would effectively drop the framerate to 10FPS which would be hugely fuckign detectable.
So, NO.
Also, I used to work as an LCD/(O)LED screen repair tech, so I'm just going to say you're full of shit. The latency in-monitor on the TCON and traces going to the screen is on the order of microseconds. The real lag-factor is the OS that your game hardware runs.
This is the fucking desert - people modify their vehicles for extra range, from EVs to little mopeds. This one had the trunk full of battery. Please try again when you know every fact of the situation, and not just assume like the ass you are.
They die nicely in the desert. Already had to rescue a Volt and Tesla out in the Mojave last weekend. Tesla had no ground clearance and got its ass bottomed out on a fucking BLM MAINTAINED ROAD (there's no excuse for that, my old Taurus had zero issues with this same road,) and the Volt simply died due to the colder weather fucking over their expected driving range by about 80 miles ("It was charged this morning!" Yea, welcome to battery physics, n00b!)
Your statement demonstrates how little you know about battery physics.
Batteries perform far worse in cold conditions. That is why the Tesla's 'ludicrous' mode need you to sit and wait while the battery pack pre-heats, so it can actually deliver the power required.
So, yes, in cold areas up north, EVs are almost fucking useless.
"Cashless companies argue that cash slows down transactions when change needs to be counted and creates security risks for employees locking up at the end of the night."
I contend that if your cashiers can't count change faster than the credit card machine can register a transaction, your cashiers are worthless and need to go back to school. Also, purely cashless means attractive fucking hacking target thanks to the aforementioned clueless retailers that can't count and probably aren't paying attention when that skimmer gets installed.
"In fact, unless you're the Madison Avenue stalwart professional driver on a closed course, why should you be able to drive that recklessly on the public highways"
Who said it had to be on public highways, oh ye that knows naught of BLM lands?
"The Model X has general ground clearance of 8 which can be electronically raised an inch as well putting it inline or exceeding the clearance of other SUVs:
In other words, fucking up that center of gravity even more and making the vehicle even more prone to flipping over.
There is a reason most SUVs are dropping the ground clearance, and it ain't because of grannies buying them.
"Yes, companies with billions of dollars of cash on hand and expanding much faster than even Amazon did into a market that most people consider to be the future of transportation and energy storage"
Energy Storage and generation - NO. Tesla couldn't even get us to produce their utter garbage panels. We took one look at their shit roof tile design and laughed them off our production floor. So much blank space in those panels that you'd need $20,000 of their shit to match $2,000 of ours.
No wonder Solar City is swirling around the toilet.
"Itâ(TM)s interesting to me how much emphasis is put on his addiction and time at Square, whereas his time at Apple and as an early iPhone / iOS developer really was the affectionate and incredible context that struck me as profound."
Apple probably doesn't want the negative association and likely paid to have those little facts omitted.

You can still diff encrypted files as long as you have the keys. Holy shit this is basic data handling 101.

So, basically Amazon has terrorized its employees into remaining silent.
And given that this is a very politically-motivated topic, I'm just going to call Jeff Bezos the richest fucking Terrorist on this planet.
Someone bomb that terrorist fuck into oblivion.
"Volt plugin range is 40 miles"
This is the fucking desert - people modify their vehicles for extra range, from EVs to little mopeds. This one had the trunk full of battery. Please try again when you know every fact of the situation, and not just assume like the ass you are.
"OK fine, you can have the market for people who want to drive in Mojave desert and BLM maintained roads."
That's more than half of the USA. But you were too eager to just throw in a jab without bothering to think about how much the BLM covers, didn't you?
"Fortunately, almost nobody lives in cold areas up north"
With your head so far down south up your ass, I'm not surprised you can't see the roughly 150 million people that live north of the 45th parallel.

Too stupid to look up "distracted driving laws" for yourself, eh?

"What company doesn't oversell?"
Any company I've run. Pretty hard to lie when raw numbers/specs are what the customer is interested in and you have to deliver verifiable digits.

LOL As a former gearhead that would race quarter-miles at Rivergate in Memphis all the time, you have no fucking clue.
All you have to do is change your transmission gearing so you can have that sub-300 HP motor actually haul ass.
I do all the time across the Mojave. Plenty of hard flat spots to do so. Do you even get out of your house?
What part of you ignored the word "desert" and somehow input the word "road"?
You need it removed.
The NSX has always had over 200MPH top speed. It's literally pointless to own one that doesn't.
"In fact, unless you're the Madison Avenue stalwart professional driver on a closed course, why should you be able to drive that recklessly on the public highways"
Who said it had to be on public highways, oh ye that knows naught of BLM lands?
"What you gain in clearance, you lose in on-road handling because you've added a great big block of of unsprung weight to each wheel."
Your handling is determined almost entirely by your frame, sway bars, shocks, and struts, plus your tire spacing (and tread type) and size.
Wheel motors tend to weigh less than the fucking rotor they'd replace on most vehicles.
Try again when you actually work on vehicles.
Never heard of knobbies and chains, retard?
"no weight on the roof is going to affect its' friction force by anything substantial."
Says the chair-bound idiot that has never loaded a couple of tons of rocks onto an SUV after a nice rockhounding trip.
Only dumb ass is your dumb ass. Go outside and try doing something with your pathetic life.
