It is true that art styles cannot be reproduced properly (close to the actual style of the original work)? Looking for a concrete answer

Tesla market cap is US$ 1.3 Trillion in comparison to regular car manufacturer it's ridiculously high

The world leader Toyota has like market cap of 45 billions and other big manufacturer reach similar value. The only exception being the other leading brand on electric car "BYD" with a market cap of 750 billions.

However, even assuming that Tesla stays the leader of electric car, how would it make it more valuable that let's say Toyota. Especially now that "many of the person who can invest the price of an appartment in a fancy car" did switch to electric, and that the electric market needs to develop the cheap and compact urban car for middle-class person who can't afford a car above 20 thousands euros (Because to be realistic the era of 10 000 EUR car is over)

I simply can't understand how Tesla market valuation is so high

The site has been up for 2+ years, but have not received much attention. I think right about now it could help a lot of people who hear news about the wildfires and are motivated to start making some basic preparations. Who am I? A nobody, but I know a lot of first responders, they proofread the info on it and said that everything looks good (trust me bro).

So I've always been a console player. This is my first PC. But I've been gaming for 35 or so years. Research suggested that the deck and ps4 is around the same graphics wise. I had assumed that the fact that games are specifically optimized for consoles, that it would be a better experience at the same power. Boy was I wrong with Skyrim.

I'm playing at 720p, high preset, 10w, and 40 fps.

Everything is just......smoother. I don't know what the frame rate is on the PS4, but I presume it's 30. Now I don't know if the effect I'm seeing is from being only 10 FPS more, but everything just moves nicer. Textures are much better as well. I can actually see individual leaves on the trees now. Texture in all the foliage is significantly improved. And something else I don't understand, but everything is brighter and easier to see. It's not the screen brightness. It's just all the assets are easier to see. Buy a significant margin.

Oh, and you know those loading screens that you would have on console when you would load a save point or enter a new location? Those are gone now. You just go from one place to the other without any wait.

It's like I'm playing a remastered version of the game.

I just wish I had this much of an improvement with Subnautica
