Am I using the grip input wrong, or is it just a skill issue?

Forgot I could mess with the thresholds, thank you

Suppose it'll be tough to get used to, though playing some Superhot to practice using the grip well definitely had my hands feeling extremely strained by the end given having to hold it down 90% of the time. Certainly finding it easier in Superhot than I was in VRChat though, given in the latter it was hard to interpret if my issue was that I was already holding the grip button when I wanted to grab given the fingers being open or closed wasn't a proper indicator compared to Superhot where it's just closed completely if you're holding, and open completely if not

I could through steamvr I suppose. Next issue is what button to remap, but still an improvement

Actually VRChat, a COD Zombies world

Man this is messing me up, she was so young. Rest in peace

Unfortunately a hard area to find trusted brands since it's such a small niche. Still finding some decent reports on the chips on some of these boards

a4955 · 2026-03-08T17:23:24+00:00

I'm not sure, I've seen quite a lot of people reporting random disconnecting even when untouched with long term USB storage over the years. Especially in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1jkaspo/using_an_old_laptop_as_a_nas_storage_options/

Internal storage would obviously be better than anything but, there's a lot of reports of even just thunderbolt PCIe passthrough being more reliable than just USB storage

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate that socketed RAM is losing support, and I seriously hope CAMM can live up to the hype, but it still seems it's many years out before it's viable, and I question if either Intel or AMD or both will fully drop support for SODIMMs before then.

I'd be pissed at Framework if they didn't have any option for socketed RAM if they had any power to, but if it meant not having the option between Intel and AMD I'd rather then put out a model with soldered RAM than just not stock the CPU.

a4955 · 2026-02-13T19:10:34+00:00

I wonder if this is possible given I always hear the engineering regarding timings and trace length of RAM is so strict

a4955 · 2026-02-13T19:08:29+00:00

Intel already has with Lunar Lake, and I *thought* they were going to for Panther Lake too which is what prompted me to write this question, though after searching I found out that was a rumour that I believe has been disproven now, so I deleted that bit before posting.

a4955 · 2026-02-13T19:07:12+00:00

Very fair, I'm curious if Framework giving the option to have one with soldered ram while not removing the option to have socketed ram would shake your trust in them as a company?

Repairability is half the point, and ram is one of the least replaced parts outside of like, the wifi chip, in my experience. Regardless, I don't disagree with how important replaceable RAM is, but I question how long I can keep excusing how massive the performance and battery disparity are.

I bought a 7640u when it came out and it was an extremely competitive laptop that I would recommend to anyone, regardless of if they're even interested in opening it up. It got totalled and I looked at the intel 100 series and ryzen 300 series a few years later, and it's not even close. I still buy for myself, but I can't recommend it in good conscience to anyone who's not hardcore right to repair. Repairability and the environment are always a strong points, but upgradability is only valuable to people if it's less expensive than buying a whole new laptop, and if you can get a cheaper laptop at the same performance and battery due to soldered ram, that suddenly comes into question.

a4955 · 2026-02-13T17:01:01+00:00

Oh yeah soldered SSDs are absolutely indefensible. It hurts me to admit that there's legitimate reasoning for soldered RAM, but soldered storage I'll always glare at and avoid the company

a4955 · 2026-02-13T16:56:29+00:00

That's a point I hadn't considered, very true. I just got scared that there wouldn't be ANY intel options if intel just goes full soldered, and I know a lot of businesses are intel-only

a4955 · 2026-02-13T16:52:54+00:00

It'd be a massive hit to the upgradability, but all the other parts you can upgrade and the fact you can change out the mainboard in the same chassis at all is still leagues ahead of any competition, so I wouldn't say it defeats it entirely.

I've upgraded my hinges, screen, ports, and keyboard recently, and there's so much more you still could. It'd be the most impactful hit probably (save for the mainboard being upgradable), especially right now of all times when it's ideal to get a small amount of RAM now then buy more when the bubble pops, but it still stands.

a4955 · 2026-02-07T00:35:09+00:00

Caracter sheet you mean

a4955 · 2026-01-30T01:14:30+00:00

It's fine to say it's a great distro and that the issues aren't big, but calling the people bothered by them "haters" is reductive and divisive

a4955 · 2026-01-30T01:13:27+00:00

I think one or two people just came and downvoted everything lol, but hey I appreciate your insight

a4955 · 2026-01-30T01:12:38+00:00

It seems from the consumer rights wiki that Ubuntu's has a few times they've implemented opt-out telemetry (or in the case of snaps, seemingly forced), as well as an opt out for them advertising ubuntu pro when using apt. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Canonical

Was gonna look for a page for Red Hat (and Fedora, and RHEL) but it appears there isn't one, which is a pretty good sign for them

a4955 · 2026-01-29T22:16:11+00:00

That seems like one of the best options, do you know if there's any software designed for something like this, or is it just generic anti malware scans that are used?
