I think it's actually good that Oculus has an easy-to-use solution for people without an expensive gaming computer. That will attract a wider range of people to VR so they can get their feet wet without spending thousands of dollars. I

Now that Ethereum moved to Proof of Stake, the price of high end graphics cards has descended from the stratosphere. A 12GiB 3080 is around $700USD, that's $300-500 cheaper than an Index or Vive Pro. VR will be dominated by whatever th

It's 1/3 the cost of the HTC Vive Pro/Valve Index. That's significant. The resolution is acceptable enough that the price differential makes it a good deal. Games have not gotten more fun as the "AAA" studios c

I'm not a fan, this looks like terrible advise. If you want to do high quality work, solder header pins onto the board and use crimp-connectors on your lead wires. I don't use flux-core wire, I prefer to apply flux directly to the

Calories certainly aren't the only factor. If you feed animals the same exact diet and they have similar exercise habits and their excrement has the same caloric value, why does one get obese while the other doesn't? Genetics, epi

One person's established religion is just someone else's cult. They all engage in indoctrination and belief in magical thinking with absolutely no proof in the existence of its deity or deities.

I have muscle tremors that sound like a fluttering or low rumbling at night that sounds very much like this. It's an occasional thing that sounds similar to what I hear when I yawn deeply.

Yes, if you go back several thousand years, you can find such trash. I suppose I should have limited it to modern philosophers that are more relevant and less influenced by magical thinking to discourage lazy answers. You have not bothered

Which famous philosophers incorporated magical thinking, thought-crime, misogyny and slavery into their philosophy? What is the wisdom imparted by officially sanctioned chattel slavery, wherein beating your slave to death is perfectly accep

This is good! Multi-billion-dollar tech companies have been given too much power by governments, partly because they want to capitalize on the spying capabilities provided by their endless cycle of private data slurping, collecting and de-a

Actually, money can buy happiness, or at least, the lack of worry. A study [1] found, "the ideal income point is $95,000 for life evaluation and $60,000 to $75,000 for emotional well-being... this amount is for individuals and would li

"Christianity prohibited the coveting of your neighbor not because it would make God angry, but because it makes your life worse." Citation needed. It's one of the commandments: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you

Someone made a commercial fractal wood burning device years ago. It had very long handled probes (1-2 ft.) and a pedal for switching on the power (there might have been a main power switch inline on the device itself.) It had a dial to let

The older I get, the more doctors I see, the less each doctor individually does, the more evident that the rapacious copay of my job-provided health insurance will drive me to less health care, perhaps obviating the need for any health care

The highest paid educator at the private R1 research university I work for makes about $200k, the average director or higher level administrator makes about $350k, while the LOWEST paid athletic coach makes $500k.
