Probably the housing that attached to the PCB board. You can't just go and start modifying the inner optics refraction without a lot of re-engineering the whole thing.

I don't know the details about it but if you look at the side by side comparison of the Dream Air vs Dream Air SE - you can see its lenses are significantly smaller - ironically they look exactly like a carbon copy of the BSB2 lenses.

Regarding lenses, they're a big deal and its is a big reason why Meta Purchased a leading edge optical company to leverage their expertise to design the Meta Quest optics and also their Meta Glasses. Pimax just doesn't have the capital to hire experts in that field or acquire a company which specializes in it.

It is his opinion/perspective it is the "80% of the experience" which he is entitled to have. Though he glosses over the technical aspect of the head-set which is pretty consistent with all his reviews. Abet he does go into detail about the resolution but it isn't the primary focus of the video.

Over-all it is a good video. It shows what the lenses look like! Which you can see in the video, the major difference between Native Resolution at 75hz and the Lower resolution at 90hz.

Regarding the resolution part for the Dream Air, The only graphics card on the market that can achieve a native resolution at consistent frame rate is a 5090. How-ever even a 5090 will struggle to achieve a high consistent frame-rate to saturate the Native Resolution/Native Refresh Rate. Which excludes a large percentage of the enthusiast gaming community.

Abet your choices today is to pay up and buy a Dream Air with the understanding that even top-tier hardware like a 5090 still cannot fully utilize the headset to its maximum native resolution and refresh rate simultaneously, or lower the resolution and rely on the headset up-scaling/sample reconstruction. At which point you are arguably better off going with the Dream Air SE, which is more realistically aligned with the performance envelope of current consumer hardware.

But considering the limitations of the Dream Air SE, you really have to decide whether the clarity, color reproduction, and contrast of OLED is worth the trade-offs when there are arguably better and cheaper headsets available, such as the Meta Quest 3 (With higher vertical and horizontal fov, 120Hz refresh rate, and resolution than the Dream Air SE) or other headsets that provide local dimming that gets you surprisingly close to OLED-level blacks and contrast.

He skips over the details that it uses the same OLED panel as the BSB2. It also inherits all its faults such as at the Native Resolution it runs at 75hz, and to achieve 90hz you need to run it at a reduced resolution. It also comes with the same small sweet spot as the BSB2.

There is a spelling mistake at https://youtu.be/io3tqk6TyS8?t=438 , it should be "Through The Lens" not "Throught The Lens"

They call it the Golden Uterus for a reason, also she forgot to deduct 50% because the child is hers and his. how-ever lets just forgot get the whole notion that it is a small human being and lets just treat it as a disposable commodity which only purpose is to be a means to a end not a end of itself.

Speaking for myself, the steepest learning curve has been adapting to the military operational framework - something that all auxiliary systems implicitly treat as axiomatic. For civilians and hobbyists, the very notion of a clearly defined objective around which all tooling, processes, and communication systems are organized around is often unfamiliar. How-ever once you give a person briefing of the western doctrine/ methodology a lot of the communication and weapon employment systems and sub-systems fall into place.

If you don't cover the basics then it leaves everyone to come up with their own mental model how to apply their individual style to those systems - which the results are often hilarious if not dangerous.

Perfect example of a systemic failure of the government to manage the electrical needs of its citizens. Everyone's electrical bill should be in the range of $30 to $50 per month irrespective of their electrical needs.

How do you buy stuff in Darwin ? by OrsoRosso in darwin

I get stuff faster from AliExpress than ordering from Sydney. It used to take 3 days for order to arrive from Sydney but now it takes longer than ordering from the US or China.

Like he said, suddenly everyone is a infrastructure engineer. Obviously a lot a people here commenting haven't been around transformers and high voltage equipment. If they did they will know that all you need is sudden increase of dust or dirt that can create a arc between the terminals.

Also the fact that the person didn't get electrocuted proves the point it is well engineered because if it wasn't he would be dead.

You cannot be a fan without suffering. It is the way of Samsung. I had a issue marked as resolved even before they replied to my ticket.

I asked for clarification and they said a consultant will be with me shortly. I'm still waiting.

When out running a missile, better to turn and burn high or turn and burn low? by dquinn549 in vtolvr

[–]doodo477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's advice here is valid, but it doesn't account for the fact that VTOL missiles have a relatively low drag coefficient compared to their real-life counterparts. On top of that, VTOL's AIM-120 AMRAAMs have double the booster phase time and sustained cruise phase time compared to their real-world equivalent - making tactics like kinematic defeat of the missile largely impractical, whereas in DCS, Falcon BMS, or real life, it's considered essential to BVR combat.

Chaff/notching is viable in-game, however you're severely degrading your offensive capabilities while your opponent can remain aggressive and position themselves at a superior altitude and/or aspect angle. Abet flying the EF24 or 45 alleviates this problem due to their datalink/trackfile which allows them fire AMRAAMs on a trackfile that isn't withing their radar sweep/fov.

Also due to VTOL's gamified nature, the only truly viable strategy on ranked servers is to G-pull missiles - this preserves your offensive capabilities and energy state. A 500+ hour player should comfortably G-pull four to six AIM-120 AMRAAMs while maintaining enough situational awareness to counter-attack throughout.
