The wires really get in the way, even in a seated context. I often use a Rift S for rally games, and the wire will get caught in the backrest, the wheels, my legs. VR is immersive, so you instantly forget and it's a thick and fragile wire so there's a degree of stress.

Not to mention the trip hazard or ripping it out of the PC while playing room-scale games.

I concur, given hardware constraints that a far more slimmed down unit would have been appealing, and more future-proof, but I believe there's still a requirement for onboard compute for inside-out tracking and handling disconnection events, at some point making it self-sufficient (at the time) was seen as not much more expense.

I was really hoping to realise the "Spatial Computing" dream of the Vision Pro, but was largely priced-out of the experience, considering it basically necessitates a MacBook to complete it too.

I would wager a simple browser and terminal session is probably all I need, so was looking forward to this device. However, the screen resolution is likely to be too small, I had done some experiments with Virtual Desktop, but the Rift S was too low-res, everything had to be like 48pt.

Reviews showing the desktop being fully accessible, does give quite a bit of hope, however.

Agreed, this sounds like an odd feature to list.

There's a lot of mods (espescially for Unreal) that can graft VR support onto it, I'd say that's a more viable use case than virtual theatre screen.

I used to do this back in the day with VorpX. Playing the original bioshock via that was an incredible experience, seeing all the environmental storytelling. Utterly terrifying too.

Serifs are so back and I'm so excited.

ChatGPT kicked off with 3.5, now this is the reverse. Would be fun to drag race these against each other, the harbinger of a revolution against now the fast path serve billions model.

YouTube's hostility is truly remarkable, by far the most egregious that the Subscriptions page in the TV app having a dedicated row for "recommendations" and "shorts" before you can proceed.

Codex CLI switched from a typescript implementation to a Rust based one.

My latest favorite is now that the Subscriptions panel adds a bonus "Recommended" row at the top, and then two rows down, a "Recommended Shorts"

I really hope it's not going to take years to be sold in Australia, like the Steam Deck took.

I was road testing tool calling in LM Studio a week ago against a few models marked with tool support, none worked, so I believe it may be a bug. Had much better luck with llama.cpp’s llama-server.

This is mainly for fun, really.

Tsoding's main lesson is how simple systems can be and the desire and demand for complex build systems is silly.

You see it in Windows 10, as well. Seeing the "working on it" when navigating folders, as if I'm using 5400 RPM hard disk drives.

My problem also. Loved Ruby's object model, but it seems the metaprogramming gives too much freedom to run free and wild. I had a hard time understanding understanding how some gems even achieve, as they crisscross across files and other gems.

Ran into the same payment bug mentioned elsewhere, also would like to mention the tech support gives "Oops a problem occurred" when trying to submit.

Looks schmick tho, and have been looking for a tool to plan out my place before I move in, found most tools expensive or lacking.
