If there isn't one called cspotrun, I'm going to be seriously disappointed with their development team.

SoftICE still holds a super special place in my heart, but WinDbg is infinitely more powerful these days than SI ever was, especially if you're using it from another box (or from your host with a Windows guest VM).

Ever-increasing improvements aren't required; the eye has a (more or less) fixed resolution. In fact, HMDs with extremely high resolutions already exist, e.g. the Varjo VR-2 Pro and the XR-1, they just cost an arm and a leg. In a few

I've been working on the Oculus Quest (which has the same resolution as the Index) and it's the lowest resolution I find functional. In my case, it's just barely good enough to use for long periods of time, without absolutel

So, I've been working much of the time (30-50%) through the Quest, using ImmersedVR to have 3 screens from my Mac in VR. The headset is super comfortable, even for long periods of time; the only downside comfort-wise is that if I&#x27

This is awesome to see. I've been working on something similar: a remote Wayland compositor for the Oculus Quest, Magic Leap, and other AR/VR devices. Last night I hit a milestone, getting a terminal running on another machine to

I've been replaying Mass Effect 3 recently and there's a little story someone tells, which starts with "Sky was color of vid-cam turned to a dead vorcha." That gave me a great chuckle.

How was the comfort level on the HL2? That and the low FOV were what killed the original for me, as my use case is replacing my screens. I'm actually getting ready to commit to working 100% through VR -- Quest -- and AR -- currently

It's 45% bigger in area , rather than to a side (~4x overall area) like most people think when they see "double FOV". It's an improvement, yes, but not one that actually substantially changes its utility. If I could t

There is definitely politics involved, but not H1 internal. The issue is that every program handles disclosure itself, so H1 itself doesn't really have the power. That could be changed at a policy level, but I'm not sure that&#x

H1 itself has no WONTFIX status, FYI. A bug that's not considered to be a bug by the program will either be closed N/A or informative. Ultimately, disclosures are handled and controlled by the program, not by H1; this is both a
