According to this site there seems to be quite a few games that stream at 4K 30fps and 4K 60fps

>The price looks really good compared to Stadia, and being able to use a dirt cheap Fire Stick that many already have instead of a $100 hardware investment is a huge plus.

I don't get this statement. Don't you need to purchase an Amazon Controller for $50 and if you want a good SoC and 4K capability you'll also need to purchase a Fire Stick 4K at about $50 which brings the total to $100.

As for Stadia - there's no need to purchase a Stadia controller or Chromecast 4K. I've used an Xbox controller and Chrome to play just fine.

More like shitty Java. I'm glad Java is being relegated to a second class language that is not recommended for Android development. Kotlin is the now the recommended language for Android development. I give Google 2-3 years before they deprecate Java from Android.

It's absolutely amazing how some people can find new ways to blame Google for something they had nothing to do with. Just Incredible. Additionally, if it had not been for the money given to Mozilla by Google the development of Firefox would have severely been in decline and possibly abandoned.

>And this is why we all should have shouted louder when Google set this precedent five years ago.

Do you also shout loud when Microsoft set a precedent for shutting down products and services? Of course you don't. You just confine your rage to Google. Let's have a look at all of the products and services Microsoft has cancelled:

Let that sink in next time you do a drive by on a Google related topic and post one of those lame "I wonder when it will be cancelled" worthless posts.

The conclusions are the exact same. The autopilot was trying to center the car between lines.

>My guess is that the autopilot mistook these lines for the diamond lane marker and steered towards them thinking it was centering itself in the lane.

It sees the white line on the left, the white line on the right and thinks its a big lane. Its trying to center the car in the lane.

Of course not. But it is odd when the top rated comment directly below the video is essentially the armchair theory that was proposed.

Odd how your "armchair diagnosis" matches perfectly with the top ranked comment in the reddit thread that was posted 1 day ago.

>With Android being a clusterfuck of vendor specific bloatware and not having a single concept of a clean install, Microsoft should focus on keeping a clean Windows install equivalent to a fresh Mac install.

Speaking of Windows OEM bloatware clusterfucks here's your typical Windows HP OEM Windows clusterfuck:
