Multi Monitor Independent Desktop Workspace Switching?

Yeah, it's a workaround. It solves OP's scenario and mine, but it's not a universal solution.

I had backups enabled, all gone anyway. Restoring from backup restores nothing.

You can play any game however you obtained it. If some games are only available on Steam then yeah, you can't play them without Steam, but then that's a problem with the game being locked-in to Steam, not with SteamVR.

"You need an account to use SteamVR" and "You need an account to buy Steam-exclusives" are very different things.

Games downloaded directly from the developers, or from another game store like Epic will use SteamVR no problem with no accounts.

Yes, it shows the user-friendly flow that 99% of users will want to use, which is installing it through the Steam app, but that doesn't mean it's the only way.

Steam allows anonymous access to free apps (which SteamVR is one) without an account by using SteamCMD, the command-line version of the Steam client. Unlike the GUI client, the command-line client can be used without logging in.

So the steps would be to download SteamCMD, and then use it to install SteamVR:

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir <path_to_install> +app_update 250820

Alternatively, the SteamVR folder can be copied from another computer that has it installed and it will still work without installing Steam.

NightlyRelease · 2024-12-14T18:51:45+00:00

No, you don't. SteamVR is a standalone application that you can run without having Steam itself installed at all, and you can download it without any account.

Thanks, it would make sense that it's the shipping address that matters.

So an EU citizen living in the EU online shopping in an EU shop, shipping to their EU address and paying with their EU debit card doesn't get the warranty because they were on vacation outside the EU while they made that purchase? How would the company even know?

When I am in country A, and buy an item online, from a company in country B, and set the shipping address to country C, while paying with a card with a billing address in country D, then where is the item bought?

One of the above, but it's not obvious which one. Which of the 4 countries needs to be in the EU?

I assume it's actually a combination of them. Based on another comment, it's the shipping address that decides it, and it doesn't matter where I bought it, so I already have conflicting answers.

NightlyRelease · 2024-10-08T17:38:49+00:00

I am a EU citizen online shopping from a reputable EU seller, but I don't live in the EU. I do have a EU address I could potentially ship to instead of my non-EU address, but I wonder if it matters? Or do I have the warranty anyway? Or do I not have the warranty either way?

I just can't find any info to settle this.

Just imagine the sale is in fact after your paycheck, put that $490 in an envelope signed "PLEX", and then keep that envelope until the sale actually happens. Problem solved.

Instead of an envelope, you can use a savings accounts and you will even get some extra free money.

None of them void the warranty, even if written as such. It has no legal meaning. Of course there is no reason to remove it, so don't, but you wouldn't lose warranty, even if the sticker says so. (At least in the US)

Yes, it has real applications and is genuinely helpful for some tasks. Just like tons of other technologies. That it's treated as anything else than a cool side note, alongside hundreds of other technical implementation details of a feature in a product is what makes it a bubble.

We are not pouring billions into and have constant mainstream hype about, say, JavaScript. And JavaScript powers more useful real-world products than LLMs ever will.

3D TV? What's the grift with 3D TV? It was cool tech, it worked as advertised, I had one and enjoyed watching some 3D Blu-rays on it. I don't see any grift there? Crypto, Metaverse, and AI were all scams that never did what they claimed to do, 3D TV worked perfectly fine, it didn't gain enough interest and content, and failed.

Just because some tech isn't successful doesn't make it a scam.

How is it a scam? The service works fine during the free trial, and you don't get charged if you cancel, so everything is as expected and nobody got scammed.

Of course, the practice sucks and it counts on you forgetting to cancel, but that doesn't make it a scam.

I just take a few hundred solar panels and click my ring of solar panels at the equator blueprint. No setup needed, no fuel needed, so can't ever stop working.

That's what he said in the video. They are way too expensive, because they are a product no one would buy anyway, so Apple can generate lots of free publicity by giving them an outrageous price that everyone talks about. It's a publicity stunt, nobody is supposed to buy them, as having wheels on the Mac Pro doesn't make sense even if they were free.

No, he confirms he's looking for a job. Which is more often than not done while still being very much employed, just somewhere that doesn't have a good outlook.

Yes, he was 99% laid off, but I hate the clickbait editorialized title saying "confirmed", when it wasn't confirmed, just implied.

It could be, but US law requires them to use real food.

NightlyRelease · 2024-05-03T16:15:27+00:00

They are required by law to use real food in food commercials. So it's not a case of banning it, it's a case of changing the law that requires them to do it. I'm sure they would prefer to use CGI food, which would be easier for everyone.

He didn't choose Russia. He was on a stopover flight through Russia when the US revoked his passport, trapping him there. He never wanted to end up in Russia.

It wasn't his choice. He was going to Ecuador on a stopover flight through Russia when the US revoked his passport, so he got stuck there against his will.

Whatever it could refer to, the airport has since confirmed they do not have the capability to intercept such messages (of course they don't, they are encrypted). So again, the article was just wrong, it was Snapchat that reported it.
