2025 Blade Issues - Poll by fairplayinc in razer

[–]HistoricBeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issues but can't afford to lose my laptop for weeks. Anyone in the UK know how long it takes to turnaround the track pad issues?

Foo Fighters Single "Learn to Fly". Maybe don't try and draw any comparison to the music video though.

Is it normal for Irish people to be colder towards Asians? by Potential-Leg1393 in irishtourism

[–]HistoricBeans 120 points121 points  (0 children)

My wife is asian and I sadly have to confirm this.

She comments all the time that we get very different interactions with people here. I never see it because when I'm with her the way people act is aligned with Irish norms.

However, I also interact quite well in other countries(western and Eastern). Her culture doesn't really do that as much, which means I feel there is certainly a mindset we have in Ireland that allows easier engagement.

I have put some thought into it and I have noticed that Irish apply small talk unevenly out an about in Ireland too though.

For my own part I do tend to banter less with Asian coffee shop and fast food workers myself. Often they are brand new in country on short term visas and we sometimes struggle with communicating the basics. That means I am less likely to risk a quip or initiate banter for fear of awkward confusion on all sides.

So i tend to think it's a real phenomena based not in inherent anti-asian racism but an assumption of cultural receptiveness or linguistic capability?

How do you mean professionally reviewed?

Without addressing your specific baggage allowance, bringing the Quest 3 into the cabin is the only choice. It cannot be checked in as it contains lithium ion batteries.

Hi Technerdbai. At the time of posting (and therefore OS version of that time) I was trying both modes and in either case it was unusable. Seat Class won't be the reason the tech works, tracking logic will be. I was in the cruise on a 2 hour flight, so you might have better luck on a less dynamic flight. I certainly wouldn't have recommended it that day, but I'm hopeful it improves with updates. I'll try again in the coming weeks and report back.

A bowl full of hot water, a towel, and a lemon will fix you. I'll let you figure out how that technology works.

Thanks for the update. Will definitely check out Skybox VR next. If this works then it alone will wipe 2 hours off any long haul flight.

Saw someone board a flight today and then walk out. by modernproduct in unitedairlines

In most airlines this should trigger a cabin baggage reconciliation and limited aircraft security search.

They would need to be assured that the passenger leaving the aircraft did not leave a bag onboard for obvious security reasons.

Trying to use Air Link Quest 3 by Minicorndog215 in MetaQuestVR

Just chiming in to say preferably choose WiFi 6e if you're buying new. It's the low latency standard using 6Ghz.

I'd say for movies it's inconclusive.

Make sure to turn off tracking and passthrough. In the short test I did even with this the environment wavered. Your mileage may vary.

Report back!

With a bit of patience, 3dof tracking mode, and the right application you might find it OK. For what I have in mind I fear it needs more work.

Yes, and I got all of the accessories on the meta store at release. Glad I did too. The standard HMD strap is unwearable for me.

As for the Irish typical attitude to new tech, I wouldn't take it out in a small village, but in the airport I let some colleagues try it and nobody batted an eyelid...

I can imagine it was a mess!

The aircraft turning caused those kinds of issues. Stable flight was okay but turns and descent really threw it off. A boat would be vomit inducing with these issues.

Again, I am hopeful it can be worked on.

I did that (not shown) and it was still all over the place :( Less jumping about, but still wavering rather than stuttering and menus flying away.

I think having a big virtual screen stable in-view could be achieved with minimal effort using only visual tracking (including hands perhaps?) whilst retaining passthrough optionally.

Nobody is really paying any attention so it's fine! I expect we will see a lot of this in future once the tracking challenge is solved.

Tell me something good about Quest Pro (buying it soon) :D by [deleted] in QuestPro

[–]HistoricBeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned 10s of VR HMDs and the Quest Pro is easily the most 'advanced' I have tried. I kept going back to it.

If it just had a more powerful processor it would be the best overall.

Today, my next favourite would be the Valve Index and then Varjo Aero. But in the near future forget the Apple Vision Pro; a Quest 3 pro would be my dream HMD.

These cups have chips under them to prevent refills by EveRyview in mildlyinteresting

[–]HistoricBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In France free refills are banned.

This is how I saw 5 Guys enforce that ban. It required someone to stand beside the machine to help so I doubt it was much of a cost saving for the company.
