>What Sequoia was reacting to was the scale of SBF’s vision. It wasn’t a story about how we might use fintech in the future, or crypto, or a new kind of bank. It was a vision about the future of money itself—with a total addressable market of every person on the entire planet.

A sad distraction from their self-driving failures, but it's neat to see Proton running on weird hardware like this. Elon; please give us native Docker support on Tesla next!
I do agree that there are some limited times when this could be fun... but could this open up an attack vector for your car though? I think I would just stick to mobile.
Depends on how it's implemented, I suppose. If installed natively, it could feasibly cause a lot of harm. Something tells me that this is isolated though, either via Docker with display server/GPU passthrough, or via Flatpak/Bubblewrap to isolate the physical hardware and kernel from Steam itself.
