The chip inherits its confusing name (no, we don’t know what that ‘2’ is there for either) from the existing Snapdragon XR2 and its follow-up XR2+ Gen 1, which are designed for more powerful mixed reality and virtual reality headsets like the recent Meta Quest Pro.

Now, however, it is an entirely different story. As you can already infer from the first two paragraphs, I am yet to write anything related to the topic and I have already finished two paragraphs....

Although Richter practices a highly reviled occupation on the Net, he says he never makes false claims in his ads and argues that there’s nothing wrong with unsolicited bulk commercial e-mail messages, or spam. He also confidently says that bulk e-mailers are relatively immune from new laws and lawsuits. “We can set up in another country within an hour,” he says. “There are people in other countries who would love to sell us bandwidth....

Lewandowski put the visitors ahead six minutes after halftime but Sofiane Hanni’s volley on the hour gave the Belgians, who had missed a bagful of golden chances in the first half, their first Champions League goal of the season.
