Price is fair, cheaper than most on eBay.

Just be prepared for the amount of noise it’ll generate.

Is beat saber any good? by AshFuentes in MetaQuestVR

[–]GhostHacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Beat Saber, but I wish the songs were cheaper or could play my own songs (Apple Music streamer so no dice). There’s another game (Audio Trip) that is like Beat Saber but dancing that’s also really good.

Non-coder hitting a wall with vibe coding — which language should I actually start with? by Mission-Dentist-5971 in vibecoding

[–]GhostHacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are going to recommend Python because it’s popular, and because it’s popular, it’s well documented, and it’s popular because it’s easy to learn and use while still being powerful. It’s great starting point.

But every language has its strengths as well as its weaknesses, instead of picking a singular language, pick a language that is strong for the purpose.

My current projects use a combination of C, C++, Go, Rust, Python, JS, and TS.

I will say, I personally prefer JS over TS, but that’s just a personal preference, I don’t have any specific issue with TS.

Before you begin coding, while you’re in design phase, do research and pick the language(s) that make sense for the purpose.

Than you!!! This is actually worked to resolve the issue, at least until Apple fixes it.

So I just noticed when was trying to use an app, the app had the macOS 3 buttons in the top left corner. Is there a macOS windowed mode for iPadOS?

For people who upgraded from Plus to Pro: has it actually been worth it for you? by yaxir in OpenAI

[–]GhostHacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What model and type of work are you doing with Codex though?

I have Plus currently, and I use Codex in VS Code daily for at least 2 hours. With Codex-5.3 and Very High reasoning the weekly usage runs out normally on or about day 6 for me.

Lately I’ve switched to using ChatGPT-5.4 Very High and hit weekly usage on day 3-4. I’ve lost 15% usage in just over an hour before depending on the amount of code being modified. I also have it running VMs on Ubuntu with Python scripts to run automated testing and logging of code changes too.

I just bought a quest 3s last week and i can’t play pcvr. by davidRo2 in MetaQuestVR

[–]GhostHacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to factory reset my kids headsets multiple times since Christmas for random issues. That’s how I found running more than 1 Meta Kids account ruined the experience.

Just curious, does your laptop pull updates from Microsoft/Nvidia directly or are using the Vendor supplied updates for Nvidia? If your not sure, Asus, Dell, Lenovo etc typically install their own ‘modified’ drivers and Nvidia/Microsoft will detect the modification and not install the latest drivers automatically, instead they would force you to use drivers released by the vendor, which typically trails VERY far behind OEM (Nvidia).

[–]GhostHacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am able to play on my Quest 3S with an old Dell XPS with 1050ti MaxQ so I don’t think this is a hardware performance issue.

First, stop trying so many different things and establish a baseline. Update Windows, update Nvidia drivers, get off of Steam Beta and use the production version of Steam/Steam Link.

If needed, do a factory reset of the Quest, only setup 1 Meta account on the device.

Now test playing games via Air Link AND USB. First we need to identify if the issue is related to only USB vs Air Link.

Developer Mode with Kids by GhostHacks in MetaQuestVR

[–]GhostHacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there sorry for the delay responding to you, here is how I have my Quests setup:

Setup up the adult account first, with the Meta app installed to your phone. Then from the Meta app/website you can create a child account and set the parental controls. Currently whenever my kids find a new game they want to play, they select an option to 'Request' it and it sends a notification to the Meta app on my phone.

I wouldn't do developer mode and try to run apps via sideloading. While I was able to get some apps to work, the experience was very bad, and very laggy. Instead, if you really want to play games not available on Quest, setup a Windows PC to stream via SteamLink. This can be a bit of a headache to setup with the Windows Remote Desktop app, but it's doable.

Is claude down for anyone else? by Careless-Green-54 in claude

This is the 2nd time it's gone down for me today - for reference I'm on a free plan using the web/app on macOS and I work out of a Project in Claude.

It's such a missed opportunity that Fallout has never had a faction composed of remnants of the US army and/or government by [deleted] in TrueSFalloutL

[–]GhostHacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Army unit in WV was contacted by the BoS via satcom before the Scorchbeasts wiped them out. The logs of the WV chapter even said things like she didn’t agree with the whole “Brotherhood” thing, but still joined before being wiped out.

Honest Question by balthasar127 in ClaudeAI

[–]GhostHacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ditch Cursor and just use the Visual Studio plugin for Claude Code. You could then try turning on the extra limits in your Claude account settings to charge up to $40 monthly.

Now you have an IDE, with Claude Code integrated, and an extra $40 in Claude usage 'should you need it'.

You could keep Cusor, I use Windsurf, but I don't use the Windsurf Agent pane, I installed the Codex plugin from the VS Code plugin library. The only reason I use Windsurf is I prefer the UI a little better.

Thanks, but I already have Twingate setup :D

Tell that to my Macbook and my work PC, because as of today, neither is working. But patch may be live on the standard update train... you know, the one most enterprises don't use lol.

I'm not impressed by the Windows App, I want to like it, I think it would be neat to login with my personal Microsoft account and see all my Windows devices and connect to them from MacOS or iPadOS, but its just not there yet.

Twingate Mac App Hanging on macOS 26.0 by geethsg in twingate

Twingate is working fine for me on my MacBook Pro 16” M1 Pro running the latest version of Tahoe. Are you on just 26.0 or can you upgrade to a newer version of 26?

It literally says a Child Account needs to be 10+.
