The HMD served as a Bluetooth (or related protocol) hub for the peripherals. Also wondering if the Frame will use lighthouses Pl like Index does or have the tracking from the HMD like Oculus and newer HTC’s do. I’m hoping for that with accurate hand/finger tracking
Went from “build to ship in 2026” from “we’ll ship in the first quarter/half of 2026” though… so that’s not great
Controllers but not the Frame itself? I want a modern VR headset that runs without a tether and ISN’T produced by an evil cloud/social-media company
“I have usernames older than you” is actually a pretty sick burn
Their dick probably didn’t look much better. Even with lube that’s gonna chaff after awhile and probably took off at least a layer of skin
I try to always put the -rf at the end for this reason. Not sure what works on Mac but it does allow it on most Linux shells
I have AC but haven’t tried it in VR yet for some reason.
But to add to the (space) flying game category, Eve: Valkyrie is pretty fun for a quick thrill
I really want the Frame. The Index is one tech and cords suck. Oculus actually did a lot of things right but I just can’t justify throwing my money at Meta…
What do you mean, isn’t possible?
There are plenty of subtitle formats that come as a separate file rather than burned or embedded into the video. If whatever software they were using for broadcast selected the wrong sub it’s quite possible, though obviously the timing wouldn’t sync up.
SOP isn’t that far off from TEL so the possibility of selecting the wrong sub file seems to have decent potential
I mean, I do get it. Some people take on debt as a way to live beyond their means when they could still live a “comfortable” life without the glamour or “keeping up with the Jones”. The $80k+ gas guzzling truck bought on credit - that’s only used for driving to work and grocery trips - is a good example of this.
But a better way of saying this is “live within your means”, but it’s becoming increasingly impossible to do this and have a standard of living that’s just “decent shelter and healthy food” (or even, “enough food”) which should be a bare minimum
Personally, I kinda like companies that have an “open source contract” with a fixed date (although such could use better enforcement).
Have a period of time when the product source is closed, and get money for it. After a certain amount of money or time, release the source to the product. Then move on to something new, rinse, and repeat.
In other words
If a mob boss murders a drug dealer in order to help expand their “territory”: they’re still both evil criminals and the mob boss should still be charged
Big tech in general. At this point the only one I still have faith in not too fuck over customers “because they can” is Valve.
Agreed. Multi-pairing is such an underrated feature. It’s especially great when it comes with a hardware selector (in case you’ve got multiple devices paired in range).
I picked up a Logitech mouse that pairs up to 3 devices and has a button+LED’s on the bottom to switch between. It’s awesome
If they’ve already got a 4B there’s no reason not to use it for one of the many low-power low-profile uses, especially when the cost of PC components is going nuts now
Google based Android off Linux. Apple based IOS off BSD. Both of those were the result of collaborative work between thousands of millions of contributors.
Frameworks exist that assist in making apps for either or both, just like they exist to build games for multiple consoles etc.
Meanwhile, Google has now declared that they will require developers register signing key WITH THEM in order to make software that will run on Android (regardless of whether it’s installed via their store or another) and has been taking steps away from providing the the necessary codebase under AOSP etc that allow for third-party projects that were based on Android
Google has also transitioned readily to “rent” based services such as YouTube while killing off Google Play Music etc (such actually allowed purchases/downloads of media). Both companies are already heavily investing in generative AI.
Do you think that once they have control of all app signing they’ll allow apps that circumvent their advertising or data-harvesting?
This doesn’t “make sense”, it makes us pay more to a digital landlord who throws around their weight to lock us in further and further while using their increasing wealth to buy up or crush all the competition. We’re accepting chains of convenience today in trade for restrictions and exploitation tomorrow.
I can think of one company that holds a dominating market position and has been somewhat benevolent, and that’s Valve. They don’t buy out competition, they’ve been active contributors to open-source (to the extent that they’ve made gaming on Linux actually viable and good), and they often seem listen to their customers in order to improve. They still do take a goodly % of sales revenue from developers who list with them though.
The underfunding or undercutting of education is a big part of why we’re in the current situation
Not only that they have the money, but Google is actively working to lock down their streaming platform (YouTube) against third-parties and they have basically yanked the rug for their OS platform, while adding requirements for developers to sideload.
Their entire direction is antagonistic and in opposition to the core concepts of FOSS
It took me about 5 seconds to get the joke (about the time to grab and put my glasses on so I could read all the text)
