I’m hoping the new Abarth is a plugin-hybrid, so you can creep up on people, and then ... BANG! POP! BLAT!

But where’s the lie?

There’s porn on Twitter? BRB.

That’s now my thought every time Google launches a new service, “That looks super cool! When will they shut it down?”

Everyone should feel welcomed at Jalopnik. Except people who dislike Corvettes doing donuts. 

My most recent car purchase was dictated by “does it come with a manual parking brake?” I don’t know how to drive in the winter without one. Also I enjoy being a hoon a bit too much.

I just don’t understand how they can release it in Crystal Clear and Crystal Black, but not Crystal Purple...

The difficulty will simply be indicated by Jack’s level of undress.

We’re staring down 10-12" of snow in the next 24 hours, and “I wish I had 4WD” is not even a thought that enters my head, but “I’m glad I bought snow tires” is. Also, “I’m glad my car still has a manual hand-brake.”

Don’t forget to lift that fucker 3 extra feet in the air sooo ... because ... to ... seriously why do people even do this?

David, I don’t post all the porn I find on Kinja, we don’t need to see your kink-du-jour from WornHub.com

You CAN do exactly all of that with a Vive/Vive Pro and the HTC wireless adapter kit. But it requires a powerful gaming PC nearby, and mounting the lighthouses on the walls/ceiling. The best possible setup right now is a Vive Pro HMD, with SteamVR 2.0 lighthouses, the wireless adapter, and Valve Index controllers…

True, you couldn’t fix controller tracking without active external sensors.

My final opinion of the Cosmos is that it should not exist. The Oculus DK2 had better tracking.

Because of how the Inside out tracking works, the “lighthouses” for the Quest don’t even need to be powered, they just need to be very well lit (I guess they could be powered and glow) QR codes or similar. Scatter a handful around a room and tracking fidelity would jump a lot. And that could be implemented with a…

True. Also the Index doesn’t have a first-party wireless solution like the Vive/Cosmos, yet.

And then he’d offer the LONG version if needed.

I’ve been using the Cosmos at work for a few months, and when compared to the Lighthouse based Vive Pro, or even the Oculus Quest, the positional tracking of the Cosmos (both headset and controllers) is still not good enough. There’s noticeable drift when making fine movements in the Cosmos headset, and controller…
