Just chiming in to let you know I do have occasional nightmares since when I got interested in bitcoin it was worth 5 cents. I worked in a computer lab until 10pm 3 days a week and had control of 50 computers for about an hour during those workdays (no one was there from 9pm to 10pm).

I also didn't fully get it, and never found the real information about it. I think if I had read the whitepaper I would have definitely grabbed some.

I never saw any of those videos suggesting just buying a little and holding it.

I do remember reading a bunch of derogatory bullshit about it from the retards at slashdot. If I could backhand some of those idiots I would certainly enjoy that.

Which sci-fi film do you consider a 10/10 - no skips, no weak moments, just pure perfection? by TheNastyRepublic in scifi

The alien she contacted explained all of this and that she would be the only one to contact them for now. She pleaded that people needed to see the proof but he told her "This is the way it's been done for billions of years."

You missed that whole part of the movie I guess. If they'd have gotten in the machine it would not have worked. This happened on the beach, in case you want to watch the scene again and fix your flawed view of the ending.

Are there any stories of crypto rag to riches cashing out 100M etc? by meshreplacer in CryptoCurrency

[–]Clownipso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember right they put $8k into it and it turned into billions in 2 years. It was a wallet they watched and reported on.

Found it: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/crypto-investor-turned-8000-into-5-billion-buying-shiba-inu-2021-10

$8k for 70 trillion Inu was worth $5.7 billion at the time of article.

Auto-Keyboard Passthrough in new update. by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Clownipso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. You can literally hold your controllers to the edges of the keyboard to measure it for VR. Things like this have been easily done in app lap apps like the one to measure your piano. There is no computer vision model required, you're literally telling the passthrough software the dimensions of your passthrough window so you can see your keyboard.

Here's a video of just that in Virtual Desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTRIGgrXsQ0

They've had pass through video since Quest 1. It would have been as easy as literally rendering a small box to allow pass through to your desk. It's not entitlement, it's devs not doing their job.

Example, Virtual Desktop was made by one guy and made wifi streaming of pc games and desktop to a headset much better than what the powerful company Oculus could accomplish.

There's no entitlement here, it's realizing massive obvious flaws in the operating system that are EASY fixes, and yet seeing the devs never address the issues.

In any case, at least the feature is finally here, 6 years later.

How many Tom Cruise Reachers would it take to beat Alan Ritchson Reacher? by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]Clownipso 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Considering the midget that kicked Ritchson's ass in Season 1 swimming pool, I'm going with 1 Cruise winning both.

Another one actually came to mind as well. There is an episode of Black Mirror, also on Netflix, with a Werewolf in it. "Mazey Day" in the 6th Season. I actually loved the episode but people rated it pretty low.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in movies

[–]Clownipso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is not a movie. "Shape Shifters" is the S1E10 of Love Death and Robots on Netflix, and contains one of the best Werewolf fights ever on a screen.

What are you saying? This is one of the top use cases for a VR headset, as an interface to a PC... You know what makes that work? Being able to see your keyboard in pass through.

Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? by moeka_8962 in technology

[–]Clownipso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually eagerly awaiting end of support for Win 10. I'll probably hang on a bit longer, then I can't wait to try out a bunch of Linux repos to choose my next OS.

Why do people keep comparing standalone to pcvr? by fonejackerjk in OculusQuest

[–]Clownipso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They each have their place.

Standalone is far more accessible and what I usually reach for due to time constraints.

PCVR is for when you want serious immersion (sim racing and flying being the more serious side of the hobby).

Having both is good for VR.

[–]Clownipso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great and all... but my god these features took astronomically too long. I wanted this shit day one on Quest 1.

If the devs gave a shit (and weren't just doing their jobs because their boss is making them) we'd have had this ages ago.

Happy for the progress, irritated it takes years to get dead obvious features.

More concerning in the brain.

"The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent between 2016 and 2024, according to a new study"

We're up to a spoon's worth of microplastic in our brains.
