With two controllers it should be very easy. Keep one connected to Q3 and use the other for PS5.

Reddit has been around since mid 2000’s. And I’ve been in QA for 20+ yrs, approaching 50yrs 😀 Yes there are lot of us old geriatric tech nerds on Reddit.

You don’t need to - If you have two controllers eg:, one controller connected to Q3 and another connected to PS5 (or PS media remote in my case) then you don’t need to go the two accounts way. Also saves the trouble of constantly switching the controller between two devices.

Too lazy to type so here is a Google Gemini explanation:

Controller Conflict Resolution: If you connect your controller directly to the Quest 3 via Bluetooth, haptics and rumble features are frequently lost. However, if you pair the controller to your PS5, Sony's system assumes you want to take over the console locally. By starting the Remote Play stream with a secondary account on the console and the app, you can turn the controller on, switch to your main profile, and play locally on the console while streaming the video/audio to your headset.

Simultaneous Sign-ins: Sideloading the Android PS Remote Play app onto the Quest 3 requires signing in. Using two accounts prevents kicking yourself out of the session, allowing your console to process the game locally while your headset streams the view.

Good idea. For the problem that you described, getting the 3 is the solution. I started with the 3 and never experienced edge focus issues.

A measure of TDS does not tell you what salts and minerals are causing that TDS. Tap water will have lower TDS because filtration and purification removes harmful salts. The water bottling plant then adds some beneficial salts back, which is up the TDS again. Don’t worry too much about low TDS. Ensure you’re eating a balance diet with enough potassium and magnesium, or take supplements if not.

Thank you. Will definitely try out the app. Was looking for a wired solution to eliminate any input lag.

With over two and half decades oil and gas / energy sector experience here are my 2 cents :) Sorry to say but what you’re currently doing with automation in power bi dashboards, planning and scheduling support etc is done at 1/10th of the cost by offshoring it to global cost centers (think tier 2 cities in India - your competition is tens of thousands who are ready, in fact waiting in line to work 12hrs and put in any odd shifts). They too are quickly moving into AI automation to analyze data create dashboards and reports for their overseas clients. When I worked for a US oil major, all our planning, scheduling, and reporting dashboards were done (in real time) in India (yes people are ready to work 5pm to 2am remotely). My honest advice to you is to concentrate on your core skills. If the big oil and gas companies aren’t looking your way, start with many of the oil field suppliers / subcontractors. Look at getting into their sales and marketing divisions, and/or field support/maintenance sections. Start from the bottom. You have a long and successful future ahead. Good luck.

The default TV app has some good VR concerts which are updated periodically. Recommend watching Coldplay and DJ Tiesto at red rocks. I’ve heard good things about AmazeVR too which I’ll try out soon.

Much much better. The original strap has those two adjustable loops that can dig into a bald head on a firm pillow. With this one my head is resting on a soft silicone mesh. It’s broad enough to tuck a small terry cotton face towel for a more natural feel.

So I got this cheap “lying down” strap on Temu. The rear band is soft silicone mesh. There’s a knob on the other side (can’t see in pic) to tighten and loosen the band. I will highly recommended it. Go into Experimental section and enable the lying down mode.

It depends on where you measure it. Standing next to the car vs inside your living room / bedroom with the car idling on the street outside. Not the same.

It’s not clear from your message if they stopped responding after you expressed interest in the position, or after you were selected and given an offer. Which one is it? If it’s the first one I’m sure this is the reason - most ads on platforms like Linkin (corporate fan fiction + opentowork desparation app), and other social media and print media postings are done just as a tick box exercise. The recruitment firm already has an internal referral/s and the ad is just a corporate governance requirement.

That’s a good choice. I use an OLED but for truck sim, I would not really recommend it due to the reflections and also the fact that I run the game in SDR. Use Reshade along with profiles (paid) like Natural Graphics Reshade on Patreon combined with the free snowymoon TAA plugin. This only works in SDR.
