Oculus Quest is actually a complete gaming console, which is why you can use it for untethered play. You can buy and install games on it.

If it's not the shell and not the application, are you saying there's a kernel setting that enables glob expansion? I suspect you're really talking about linking to setargv.obj?

Slashdot.org was plagued by people posting "first post" to every story, so they implemented an automatic "first post" comment to each article, that was removed as soon as other comments appeared. Maybe this comment (&quo

You can't pay for Excel without also paying for Teams. Why would you pay for two team chat solutions? Teams is not actually free for people who don't want the rest of Office. That being said, I don't this should be illegal.

But the enrollment criteria was being discharged from a hospital after recovery from COVID-19. It was not a random sample of infected people. None of the text leading up to the graph or any text on the graph itself makes this clear.

Yes, you're right. You can of course travel on the hypotenuse even if you're not oriented along it. I was probably stuck in some fixed front wheel thinking. I would think it's a lot easier to get the the proportion of lateral

If you do rotation then translation, you're either going to waste fuel or time. Just aim for the target and get within 20 meters before doing any of that, and the amount of translation you'll have to do is minimal. It's like
