<p>The ubo extension does work in orion, but I remember having to go somewhere deep into settings to make it actually be enabled. I don't remember exactly how I did it but eventually after a few restarts of the browser I got it working.<p>I did compare against other adblock systems on ios and found it to be the best option, as other adblocks either gave broken webpages or just didn't work at all.</p>

<p>-80c is 193K. Looking at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superconductors" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superconductors</a> there are 3 superconductors that work at that temperature or higher. But they all need very high pressures (150 GPa or higher). Which is close to the pressure in the centre of the earth (380 GPa).<p>A more reasonable superconductor that's widely used is YBCO, which at 95K (-178c) is cooled using liquid nitrogen. And I believe that's at normal pressures.</p>

<p>I'm unsure what you mean with mainstream laptop, but with my Asus zenbook I had these problems:<p>* Sleeping doesn't work, hibernate sometimes work<p>* Keyboard buttons for screen brightness doesn't work<p>* Ambient light sensor doesn't work<p>* Vsync doesn't work<p>* Processor always highly clocked, draining battery<p>I was able to fix some of the issues in Ubuntu by compiling kernel addons of some sort. When I switched to Arch I could with the help of their Wiki fix all of the issues, but there was lot of text config files to edit, and some more compiling of kernel stuff. Even after that I still couldn't get vsync to work properly. Watching youtube while the screen is tearing all the time is very annoying.<p>If you want to run linux you should get a laptop that is validated to work, like framework or validated dell laptops. At least then you might only need to fix one or two issues.</p>

<p>To be clear. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu when _combined_ have more customers.<p>It's important to note that Disney pushes hard for buying these 3 together as a package for a reduced price, therefore basically tripling some customer numbers.</p>

<p>Does VRChat count as a game? In a very populated instance with 50+ people it can take up to about 20gb of vram.<p>Honestly everything VR takes up huge amounts of vram, it's not possible to run No Man's Sky at max settings with only 8gb vram, and you still might need to dial down some settings with 12gb vram.<p>This is with a Quest 2, I'm guessing headsets with higher resolution will be even more demanding.</p>

<p>Multiple people have pointed out errors in your thinking, but I'm gonna add something slightly different:<p>Consider that we know that mentioning suicide in the news increases the number of suicides. There is therefore a minor Info Hazard to mention suicides without the correct help structure in place.<p>You are by that original comment implying that medication is ineffective or a crutch. There are multiple other comments saying that comments similar to yours have let them believe that they should do without medication. So you are therefore doing almost the same thing yourself.<p>Crutches aid in healing, just as medication does for depression. And we should try to keep Info Hazards visible only in professional circles.</p>
