The Quest 1 strap was not great if you had long hair. There’s a reason no one else makes their head straps out of rubber.

The Quest 2 is a terrible replacement for screens, (also because it has a fixed focal distance of 2 meters) but the resolution and clarity has improved so much since the launch of the Vive that I’d bet new headsets will be there within the

Nothing would be compatible with it anyway. It’s too slow and it only has a single controller with only 3 degrees of freedom. It’s not a VR problem or even a proprietary problem, just rapid improvement. The Go existing at all was probably a

My biggest takeaway from this article is that it costs thousands of dollars just to see what EU standards actually say. Why?

From personal experience, Roku OS TVs (TCL mostly) have a very good non-internet user experience, with a dedicated mode for being a dumb display. WebOS (LG) is decent. Tizen (Samsung) ones are okay, although the one I have is from before th

Sadly, Apple's laptop webcams are still way better than the ones in competitors. I used an HP Spectre from 2020 or so and it had literally the worst digital camera I have ever seen, including the 90s. It's pinhole sized, and it ma

In fairness, high-level departure statements are carefully scrubbed to remove any genuine feeling or humanity.

I've used both and Horizon Worlds' lack of development is mind-boggling. It's positioned as the crown jewel of the Metaverse, the core from which Facebook will build the rest of the concept, and yet it's so barebones it&

I haven't used Tesla's implementation, but I've suffered through Android Auto's voice controls. I've never had to retry a physical button four times because it needs a hearing aid.

I think 20000mAh is achievable now. I have a 20k battery pack on my desk and it’s pocketable, if heavy. Much thinner than the Energizer phone. I’m picturing your phone design as an original Galaxy Fold, but solid instead of the hinge/i

It's probably working as designed. Most people in ESTA countries qualify. The list of country visits that disqualifies you is North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, all places where the US is hostile to the g

That is obviously not true, and even if it were, the country in question is Russia, an autocracy. What is our poor hypothetical node developer expected to do, march down to the Kremlin and beat Putin with his MacBook?

Samsung doesn’t have real optical zoom. Their system works by using a separate 1x, 3x, and 10x zoom camera and software interpolation for in-between levels. The 10x zoom camera has the most interesting optics because its lens stack is too l

This is a good point. I don't agree that PokerStars VR is better than real life and won't be until the tech can replicate details like facial expressions, but the concept of eliminating unnecessary pain points is sound. It reminds

It amazes me that we have regular, comprehensive reports showing that almost every ecosystem and natural process we depend on will collapse by the end of the century and most will be functionally degraded in less than twenty years, no one e

Nvidia doesn't have a good implementation. They took it off the new Shield remotes.

A lot of Valve's hardware (Steam controller, Steam deck, VR controllers) has heavy haptic feedback on its touchpads, including when scrolling, and it makes much more of a positive difference than I expected it would.

That's the point: nuclear weapons are a much better guarantee of safety than treaties and assurances. Compare what happened to Libya and Iraq to Iran and North Korea and it's clear that the only way to be secure in the modern age

They already have a gaming platform. It’s the Oculus store (soon “Meta” I imagine) and they’ve been working on it for years.

Google didn't voluntarily move on from Google Plus. They were forced out because they lost, badly, and the company they lost to was Facebook. I wouldn't count Zuckerberg and co. out yet. Unlike Google management, he is not afraid

I agree with you where VR is concerned, just not AR. This is why I don't like the term XR, it conflates markedly different devices. The Quest 2 is good enough that content is becoming its biggest problem, and if it gets some really kil
