For normal VR/AR, definitely, since you want to have objects moving in the Z direction. For this usecase it should be enough to show the "flat" virtual screen at the focal distance.

Completely anecdotal experience but I've been running HA on a Pi from SD for quite a few years now with no issues.

It also depends on how popular the place is, and the customer demographic. Continuing with that example, if it's a small grocery store in a town with a population of a few thousand people, sure, there's definitely no point in havi

That's kind of like saying storing files in a zip is worse than storing them uncompressed. Or like the "what color are your bits": https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

A display goes a long way when troubleshooting, instead of having to dig out the manual and figure out what the specific combination of blinking LEDs is supposed to mean.

With the right pcb design you could use this to sneak in an entire microcontroller while making it seem like it's just an antenna, wild

Wonder how many people lost the ability to play ~~their content~~ the content they were licensing when they released that update, and had to buy new hardware because it was no longer supported.

I agree with the "build things locally" thing, but that only works for products that are popular enough in an area/country to justify production, and, through economy of scale, allow for a low enough price to be competitive.

That works great until you end up paying more in processing fees than the value of the item. Or when you pre-pay the tax online when buying an item, the shipper doesn't mark the package correctly and the local post service tells you yo

I doubt there is enough overlap between people able to build a rocket capable of taking out satellites and people who are afraid of 5G.

I mean, in a way this really wouldn't be that different from having to authenticate when installing software on a desktop OS if this was required for all apps. And AFAIK Apple already requires you to confirm with your unlock method whe

Good old enshittification. Make it good to attract users, then optimize for profit once the users can't leave.
