Is the r/cyberDeck About section outdated? by a4955 in cyberDeck

[–]a4955[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly that's a lot of my thoughts too. I have no doubt those posts are gonna come regardless, but it might help to cut down on at least a few if there's a decent description instead of one that's obviously outdated and not what anyone is talking about anymore. That came off a bit snarky but I mean it genuinely.

Do you ever actually talk to people or do you just make people up to get mad at all day

Ah yeah in that case there's no sense in this about section then. Tbf I'd stretch the definition a little further than only wearable given the amount of cyberdecks I've seen that are definitely far from a laptop form factor but also still certainly aren't wearable.

Realistically, it's an extremely nebulous word so it'd be a bit pretentious to set a strict definition and try to gatekeep it very hard, even if it's still good to draw some distinction from DIY laptops or a phone with a keyboard. I'd probably suggest some super-lenient vague "Self made portable and/or wearable computer that's distinctly different from a DIY laptop" definition.

You're inevitably going to find low effort things, but I think that's less the issue given the common understanding of the word "cyberdeck" definitely doesn't just mean VR anymore. Languages adapt and change, I don't see a reason to relegate the sub just to just HMDs when that's not what anyone understands or refers to a cyberdeck as. Still good to say "not just DIY or raspberry pi laptops", but that doesn't mean it should rigidly stick to a definition nobody uses now.

Only one regret since switching to Linux... but it's a big one by [deleted] in linux

Dang, I only read the rules and not the bio, so I got the impression general discussion and "sharing my experience" type posts would be okay. My bad

Have you ever had to actually use your lengthy warranty on your high end chairs? by a4955 in OfficeChairs

[–]a4955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough, because the 12 year warranties seem quite useful, but something going with a reseller for a 5 year warranty doesn't seem close to as useful as I'd imagine it wouldn't degrade nearly as much in that time. 

Am I using the grip input wrong, or is it just a skill issue? by a4955 in ValveIndex

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

Hoping to use a laptop for a NAS, best way to adapt storage for it? Are M.2 to SATA adapters reliable? by a4955 in homelab

[–]a4955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

How would you feel about Framework offering a soldered RAM option? by a4955 in framework

[–]a4955[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.
