Using residential IPs is standard operating procedure for companies that rely on collecting information via web scraping. You can rent residential egress IPs. Sometimes this is done in a (kind of) legit way by companies that actually subscr

I frequently use anonymous types in my unit tests in Go. I create a custom type describing the inputs, behaviors and expected outputs of a test case. I create a collection of these cases, and use Go's standard library testing package

Once you get beyond the stock content, the Quest version and Quest controllers hold you back.

It offers better compression algorithms, and importantly exposes settings for you to fine tune for your network and GPU. If you have good enough network equipment you may be able to push more data over wireless than wired (most motherboards

It even improves seated VR! You get better image quality using wireless over virtual desktop than wired using quest link.

Yeah, there's a market of people who are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for marginal improvements to VR. There are communities who spend about as much time in VRChat as they do in meatspace. And plenty of older folks

Yea, Steam Link is also a better option than Quest Link in terms of video quality.

1. Is only the case _when using Quest Link_. Virtual Desktop > Quest Link USB > Quest Link wireless. 2. I never figured it out, since Virtual Desktop fixed a bunch of my other issues too.

Yes, rumours and leaks indicate Deckard is already in developer's hands.

VR headsets use lenses which focus the image at a long distance. It is like standing outside and looking at a distant hill, not at all like holding a phone up to your eyes.

See my sibling comment on the issues with the Meta software versus Virtual Desktop.

1. Meta's Link software uses highly suboptimal video streaming settings. Makes a big difference in flight sims where you need to see fine detail on instruments and distant aircraft. 2. With Virtual Desktop, I can remove my headset duri

Apple Vision Pro if you use macOS. Wait for Valve's upcoming annoucement otherwise, then compare options from Valve, Pimax, and Bigscreen.

It'll be nice to have more high end non-Meta options. Meta's headsets are a pain to use for PCVR. Third party software like Virtual Desktop is basically mandatory for Meta and PCVR. (For the curious, this website I maintain about

Hi Jeff, I have an app that already supports the Whisper API, so I added the GPT4o models as options. I noticed that the GPT4o models don't support prompting, and as a result my app had a higher error rate in practice when using GPT4o

2FA doesn't necessarily require entering a code. A lot of 2FA schemes use a push notification where the user confirms the login on a separate device. Session cookies are a problem, some services provide a way to invalidate all session

It depends on the server. The best discussions I've found are ones targeted at hobbies which have both a lot of new people looking to get started and some old timers who provide advice and guidance and answer questions.
