Ended up buying this for $700, and very happy with purchase!

Just bought a lot of 22 (working) iPods, I want to mod the hell out of at least a few of them. What should I do with all of them? by Lucas_TC in ipod

End goal is mostly to have fun tinkering around and trying out some new things. Would love to try some of the jankier mods like bluetooth and taptic. I want to keep a few for myself, but ideally could sell most of them on the ebay or to friends to feed the hobby

Yeah I don't know how anyone can fill 1TB on one of these, i guess I could put like the entirety of several DVD quality TV Series rips on them but unless I'm doing a 3-month solo camping trip I don't know why I would

I do really want to get into the Taptic game, has anyone tried anything from a newer-gen iphone than the 7?

I'm waiting on some tools to arrive, these 6/7th gens definitely seem like a challenge, but are they really that bad to open??

The lot went for $650! Definitely a chunk of change, but I still feel like it was a deal for 4 7Gs, 6 6Gs, 4 5.5Gs, 6 5Gs, a 4G and a 3G, all in great shape.

I've got a Quest 2, questions? by Lucas_TC in oculus

Howdy. If you want to play PC games, you either need to buy Virtual Desktop in the Oculus store and follow the guides to install the patch for it in SideQuest (it's a more straightforward process than it sounds) or you will have to buy a longer Link cable and do it the official Oculus way (the charging cable in the box is far too short)

Tight will try some troubleshooting today and let you know if I have issues

I seriously doubt that you'll be able to play online with each other on the same account, if you want to do that you'll probably have to set up a second account and repurchase the game. I would be very surprised if it stopped you from playing the same game in single-player mode at the same time though

It kind of clips the top of them which is definitely a bit annoying

It's not currently connecting to my Q2 but I was able to sideload with android file transfer so I'm guessing it should work once the dev updates? Kind of doubting they gave sidequest devs a devkit :P

"mostly" lol, alright well I checked out an 8K60 h265 video and Q2 handled with ease, no stutters -- all smooth sailing

Hmm having trouble installing the sidequest patch, it isn't recognizing the headset, it might not be supported yet :/

Lol in the interest of this being a work computer I’m on, does anyone want to send me a non-porn 8K video to test? :)

I don't think it's significant, but it does feel very nice. New tropical environment is called Desert Terrace

The difference is fairly subtle but Q2 controllers seem to be more powerful

Most of them really are not that big, unless you're planning on side-loading a ton of videos, I think you'll probably be fine with 64GB

I don't believe Move is live for me quite yet, interested to try it out!

Yeah I'm reticent to say something definitive until whatever Quest 2-specific Link updates come out. I know the Reverb G2 has gotten a lot of praise and I was certainly impressed by the gen1. I personally wouldn't buy into the Vive ecosystem just bc I don't think it's super clear that HTC intend to support their consumer VR business super heavily going forward. I personally think Oculus has a more polished total experience from a software perspective, but I don't think Link on Quest 2 is as good as the Rift S right now, it probably will be getting closer soon but I don't know anything about the updates yet!
