If they are, then this vision pro is truly extortion.
VR requires a bit of setup, which is off putting. I dont have the space to have mine out all the time, theres also a shortage of high quality games. Waiting on Valve to push the envelope again.
Most modern headsets have passthrough, its not some new feature. It is the part that Apple focused on though.
An overpriced VR headset.
It was a tongue in cheek, rhetorical question, regarding what I said before it.
I know, it was a rhetorical question given the stance they take on a lot of things always aligning with what Google wants.
I expected Mozilla to implement this, I don’t know how they expect to get marketshare by just following in Google’s footsteps every step of the way.
Is Firefox it’s own browser or just Chrome with a different engine? Even Apple support jxl, well the decoding anyway.
That explains a lot if this was their plan. RIP Raspberry Pi.
Not anymore, it used to. Pihole can only block ads that are served from known ad servers. But with the way ads are served on YT, it can’t block them without also blocking the entire video.
My pi hole currently blocks around 10% of all the requests made on my network. So its still worthwhile for cutting down on some ads and tracking.
Ads got too aggressive, people made adblockers, ads got more aggressive because of lost revenue, almost everyone starts using adblockers.
They did it to themselves, people were content with simple ads on a page, it’s once they started interfering with the content and access of it that they became a problem.
Sure, but most people wouldn’t even want to attempt a board replacement and would rather take it to a repair shop. Replacing an entire section of a device because one tiny part is broken is not helping the e-waste problem repairability is trying to work on.
These companies just want to upsell you to a new device, they want to group parts into assemblies to increase the price, and if the repair is going to cost just a small amount less than buying a new device, people are likely just to buy a new one, now that old device becomes e-waste and the company made a sale. Instead of it being a cheap repair, keeping that device going for as long as possible.
TLDW: They are basically advocating for selling assemblies of parts for “user safety”. So for example, if one chip on a motherboard was broken, instead of selling the individual part, they want to sell you the entire board with all the other parts attached (which can cost nearly as much as the device was new).
Video also highlights how you can buy a device cheaper than the cost of buying a genuine part from the manufacturer.
Google are grabbing good PR headlines with backing one complaint point in the right to repair scene, but then also backing a bunch of anti-repairability in the rest of their post, neatly snuggled away in a bunch of corpo talk bullshittery.
The creators didnt want to monetise it, they wanted 6s video clips without ads interrupting it. Fair play to them really, but it did mean the end of it, Twitter wasnt really profitable either so they couldn’t endlessly dump money into it and the rise of other short-form video was biting at Vine’s ankles as well. I think the original creators went on to make byte, a similar service to Vine, but it never took off, cancerous tiktok did instead.
Because the “smoothed out the cars from the 90s” are practical, serviceable and (American pickups aside) not gargantuan space hogs.
Who cares if something is ‘fake’ if you get enjoyment from it? It’s the same as any scripted comedy.
Dude the Mixer situation was so weird to me, they were clearly serious about it, bought out a bunch of big streamers for ridiculous amounts of money and then just… gave up. They needed more ways to engage the community of streamers, like Twitch Rivals does, because people are not going to use your platform if they have no-one they want to watch, but Mixer never attempted to try and get people to watch new streamers.
I did try Mixer when I still watched livestreams often, the video quality was so much better, the player was snappy and was such a breath of fresh air from Twitch. But my god did they butcher the chat/viewer experience. I don’t want visual clutter and fireworks flying over my screen all the time, it was the most dogshit thing ever, so back to Twitch I went. I mean Twitch without FFZ is also disgusting now, give me that simple IRC chat back!
This hurts my eyes to look at
It’s not the size of the ship, it’s the motion of the ocean.
It’s just paycheck justification. “Look we did something, we are useful”
Perfect, yeah gimme that
Its not AR, an AR headset is something like HoloLens, this is just a VR headset with your eyes on the front.
