I know a startup tried to do phone reflection in VR, that is, to mirror a phone’s display into a render layer, and try to use the phone’s touchscreen as an input for that ‘display’.

they went out of business. I wonder if they ever got their patents figured out. seemed like promising tech.

The convenience is harder. I don’t think there’s a solution to that, at least not in the near future.

lighter headsets that work well in MR, so you don’t need to take it off to reply to a msg or find your login. you’d leave it on in mixed/augmented reality mode, then swap it back to VR to play your game.

Slowly, we’re moving towards that. I’ll be very interested to see what comes after the quest 3s / index etc.

Valve isn’t done in VR. it doesn’t feel the need to put out a headset every year.

Same with the Vive. It wasn’t the end. Index isn’t the end. When they find something they can innovate they will.

if Reform and the Tories merge

is this in anyway likely? a pitiful slapfight seems more probable from an exterior perspective but "¯_(ツ)_/¯ "

that’s funny af

in personal experience, I’ve seen ungrounded equipment ground itself through people. not a pleasant experience but fortunately no cooked colleagues - but not fun at all.

Additionally, without any ground wire to pull the housings of devices to ground, the potential for a short to energize the case and then electrocute you is also high.

this will also cause resets and instability. have seen it first hand.

Yet another example how it’s time for Labour to move on. The past is past.

that man was a war criminal monster. one of the many things I didn’t like about HRC - she loved him.

eeh… yeah true, but one, dude’s a ##########ing rat####ing shite gobbler and two the british press can be pointy sometimes.

I saw the lede and thought he’d died.

damn.

also recommend this. it’ll handle the in-design and pdf stuff handily. I cancelled my CC subscription in May, got an offer for two free months, then still cancelled it last week lol. Affinity is running a sale on their suite too, $80ish for all three programs - equivalent to illustrator, photoshop and in-design.

Adobe keeps shooting itself in the face. They had CC figured out about 3 years ago, all they needed to do was keep adding capabilities and keep the cost under $50ish/mo.

Then they started acquiring other companies but making those charges ON TOP of creative cloud, while increasing CC’s monthly cost.

Substance was a great suite, but it’s not worth $1200 a year on top of CC. Bye adobe!

brexit too.

I really don’t get what their end goal was here, other than to beat the shit out of someone.

probably just this, taking out their frustrations on someone who was already marginalized. some people have no problem with punching down.

NOW, if there was any kind of policy that led to this - such as punishing employees for losses, punishing the entire store, etc., sains should be held partially culpable. But most modern institutions would prefer to keep their employees away from fisticuffs.

chording (using multiple hotkeys to redefine the char set) requires retraining and mental overhead and can lead to errors. no thanks. I don’t even like the superset buttons on laptops, fuck fn keys etc.

about getting people in one place for management’s sake

oh no dude, it’s exactly about this. and commercial real estate prices.

make no mistake.

That is nice, tyvm!

My family fell for it,

?

to make Elon look bad.

why would he need any help when he’s doing so much on his own?

Brother color laser owner here: I’ve had it for a decade, put 3 toner carts in it (4 colors it’s nearly $200 for all 4 but you get a FUCKTON of printing out of it. Heartily recommend.
