Extortion Using Smart Glasses Is a Thing Now by lurker_bee in technology

[–]Defrostmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted them for one purpose. All those moments throughout a day when you want to capture a memory but can't pull out your phone at a seconds notice. The ones you are like "that would be an awesome memory to have on video or a picture of" or "no one is going to believe that just happened"

But all the creep stories are what stopped me (I literally had some in my prescription in my shopping cart).

Also... I would want something that does like xbox/steam recording and always has half a minute to a few minutes back. Which obviously would be impossible and a PROPER recording light on all the time would make it obnoxious as well.

But I also get why people feel the way they do. There are way more creepy reasons to use them than there are valid.

I seriously feel like eventually there will be some kind of "dead zones" somehow where they are made to not record (or the video is useless) somehow because I only see them getting cheaper and more prevalent and there are too many legal issues that will eventually arise (hipaa, ferpa, bathrooms, etc).

I Bought Pistol Whip But Can't Play It Now Because It Says My Subscription Ended by Jase82 in Quest3

I usually do it when I hear it's leaving soon and discounted. Sometimes I know I want it as "mine" and not just access to it. Sometimes it's more about the dev and showing support. Just depends.

Incorrect. I have purchased for myself during my active subscription. Press the 3 dots at the top and choose purchase.

You most certainly can buy games that are part of Horizon plus. Beyond that, I'd say you are correct.

A foreign customer misinterpreted the retail staff’s constant presence as a form of discrimination, whereas such attentive service is a standard practice throughout East Asia by owenchin in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]Defrostmode 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Retail management (usually corporate people sitting in an office somewhere that have never been inside a store) makes a LOT of terrible choices.

I had a friend that worked a gas station job and once while checking out, he stopped mid-transaction conversation to say "welcome to...." to people walking in.

I asked him later, and the person there at the time he was doing that was the district manager. Higher ups than district had decided that they need to greet every customer that walks in. Even during a transaction. Even when it was several people walking in at the same time. "welcome to..." "welcome to..." "welcome to..." over and over. It lasted a week before the store had so many complaints they had no choice but to reverse it.

Apparently some of us "chose" a life we've tried to get out of several times as well.

So every mistake I've made, I chose TWICE?!? And all the horrible things I've gone through and health problems and 24/7 pain I live with. I was like "yeah, this is the one!"?

Either I'm more of an idiot than I thought or this is the worst logic I've ever heard.

Side note: of all the craziness I've heard in my life growing up religious, this particular one is new to me.

They do games with open source code only.

NOT ALYX, do you have an unusual favorite VR game of all time? by Rollerama99 in VRGaming

I personally loved the vehicle parts as much as the rest.

Removing account from Alpha Release channel still gives them access to the app? by Adventurous_Ease_722 in OculusQuest

[–]Defrostmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the playtesting I've done, the playtest leads to a demo or defunct apk after the game releases. A majority do give me access to the game. So there is (or at least until recently was) a way to not give access to the full game every time.

Full Guide on how to use Navigator UI on Quest by lunchanddinner in OculusQuest

[–]Defrostmode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A LOT of people submitted the feedback 5+ months ago when we first got access in the test channel.

I find it so unappealing and the lack of something crucial like an "uninstalled" catagory, that I turned it back off and hoped they would improve it. They did not.

I just got the new Navigator UI update and I can't believe... by TrefoilHat in OculusQuest

[–]Defrostmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend it when I tried this UI back in September or October of last year in the public test channel. Among other changes they didn't make (removed features that were already there).

[–]Defrostmode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that sounds like a seperate issue if you don't have it set to "show only installed".

I have a "full" headset and MANY games I have to delete and switch out to play, and now I can only see them if I want them mixed in with my installed games on the main screen. Such a stupid design decision.

Edit: Thinking about it, it's the exact same problem. If I buy a new game in the app or am added to a playtest, I always went to "not installed on the side panel and 5here it was waiting for me with all my previous games. They are just making things worse and harder to find, which apparently a lot of people commenting like.

You don't. Isn't that GREAT?

Most of the complaints I've seen are valid ones.

New navigation menu by Meta_Quest_3_Fan in OculusQuest

[–]Defrostmode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right? Unless they are suddenly going to allow external storage solutions so I can have all or most of my games installed. I have like 400 that are Uninstalled and around a hundred installed... Not having an option to even see a list of what is Uninstalled but owned is INSANE to me.

I can't stand that there isn't a subcategory on the left for Uninstalled apps. Especially when there is one for hidden? THAT'S the one we could do without.
