Sounds like someone needs to lower your temperature setting.

Your life is better for it

Why would they not?!

First Magic: The Gathering, and now this. Have Republicans no shame?

Except it won’t be.

None of the things you’ve described increase the carbon output.

What chemical reaction gets more carbon out than it puts in?
(Where do these new carbon atoms come from, fusion?)

If anything, those other products include non-gaseous compounds which sequester the carbon from the fuel into a solid resulting in a net-negative amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere.

Those side-products are not good, I’m not saying otherwise, but they are not additional carbon.

There is something a bit ironic about taking shots at AI while using unlicensed artwork made by others.

It was shipped with Cyanogenmod for a while.

It’s not reasonable in my opinion.

I can maybe understand not wanting other operating systems in their attestation chain that is protecting a payment system from the standpoint of liability.

All of the other things are entirely hardware features that any OS should be able to use. They’re using the ARM Trusted Execution Environment (ARM TrustZone) and a embedded Secure Element to enable the ability to store cryptographiclly secured files without the system ever having access to the keys.

Both TEEs and eSEs are not a Samsung invention or IP and are enabled by hardware on the device, the TEE is part of the ARM standard and is used in a huge number of other OSs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family). Secure Elements are also widely used pieces of hardware supported by innumerable OSs and also a feature of the hardware that you paid for.

To me, the killer app of VR is the moment when your brain clicks over from ‘I see this room in my headset’ to ‘I’m standing in a room’, this is often called Presence.

There are a lot of things in the way of that: low resolution displays, low frame rate due to the large total resolution and poor/delayed tracking, lens type/orientation creating first and second order reflections etc. All of these are slowly improving and the solutions are becoming cheaper.

And you’re right that the software needs to catch up, that’s the chicken and egg problem. Nobody wants to develop games for VR because there is no customer base and nobody wants to spend a ton of money on VR when there are few games worth playing.

Flight sims. I’m not really a super-hardcore flight simmer. But, sure, for WW2 flight sims or something like Elite: Dangerous, it’s probably nice.

The other good thing about them is that if you’re sitting in a chair then you’re getting a lot of tactile feedback that matches your in-game perspective.

I am not a super-hardcore flight simmer but VTOL VR is probably the VR game that I have the most hours in. It’s a one man project but he does a great job of creating in-sim controls for the aircraft. You don’t (can’t?) use anything but the VR controls, grab a flight stick, press a button, tap a screen, etc. It has enough depth to the planes and systems that it feels real-ish, without requiring a multi-week training course (DCS A-10C, smh).

Another title focusing on in-sim controls is Iron Rebellion. Same idea, you’re sitting in a cockpit, a mech this time, and there are variety of in-sim controls and gauges in place of UI and hardware controls.

There are some enjoyable games, but you’re right that the price:good game ratio isn’t great, but the tech keeps getting better and the library of games is slowly growing. I think we’ll eventually reach a tipping point where all it takes is one good VR-exclusive game to drive people to the platform.

Thanks for the write up, I was actually planning to launch using Heroic, just wasn’t sure if games through Wine needed the C:\ drive prefix.

It creates a virtual C:\ drive for the programs in the bottle. Externally it doesn’t matter where it is as long as your launch script/application knows where it is.

One of the only Uncle Ruckus quotes that can be used by a pasty white southern guy…

Open needs to remove french from their OS and not preserve the root (of all lies about password usage):

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

(do not run this)

Yeah, that was it.

I asked my grandmother why she didn’t use Linux and she cited the fact that people were in denial about the frequency of password use in POSIX-based operating systems as her primary reason.

Just as much as you can use Windows without the command line/powershell.

The vast majority of tasks do not require it but some will and some tasks will be easier via the terminal if you take the time to read 2-3 pages of documentation.

Don’t be scared of the terminal
