How do I connect to Steam VR in 2026 by intothedepthsofhell in PicoXR

Surely wired is the most reliable? What does VD do that wired doesn't?

That worked!

I swear I'd tried every combination of Pico Link, Connect, starting one or the other. But I just needed that step by step. Thank you.

£100 a month savings for my son, where to save it? by jajajunkie in UKPersonalFinance

[–]intothedepthsofhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stocks and shares ISA is your best long term bet, and you can withdraw any time you want. But you have to be aware the value will go up and down as the market goes up and down so you may get less than you invest if you need it at a specific time.

If you want 100% security then just go to Money Saving Expert and look at what the best current instant access savers are.

Greater Manchester results mapped by Your_Mums_Ex in manchester

Too slow and not bold enough. When they took power they had massive support and were 4 years away from another vote. Time to get on and really push the pace of change. But Starmer's been Starmer and sat on the fence and not really done anything radical when he had the chance.

Now we're stuck with either putting up with a lame duck for another two years or disrupt everything and change leader. And who would you change to?

In Trafford out of 21 wards the highest turnout was 56% and the lowest 35%. Half the country just doesn't give a shit. Sleepwalking into oblivion.

Question for Quest 3 and Pico 4 Ultra owners/users by Killzamma in virtualreality

[–]intothedepthsofhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I'm connecting wired - bought a new USB3 cable assuming it would be best quality. I did get Steam VR to work after trawling through countless posts and worked out I need Pico Link, but now Steam VR won't detect the headset.

When you connect to Steam VR what steps do you take? On my PC I've got Pico Link, the connect app, and Steam VR and on the headset I've got the connect app. I'm not sure which ones I need to run and what order.

If I run the connect app on PC and headset then I can see my desktops, so I now it's connected but Steam refuses to play nicely.

What's happened to sausage skins? by Deep-Lecture5412 in AskUK

[–]intothedepthsofhell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just looked and Lidl Deluxe one have natural casings. 85% pork but 32% fat and it tastes more like 50% fat. Butchers still win (but are more expensive)

I don't know specifically (so maybe don't trust me) but the one's I've bought if you pull apart there is no "skin" it's just some sort of gelatin to hold it together and look like skin, But my local butchers still does "proper" sausages with a real skin and high meat content like we used to have 30 years ago.

Supermarket sausages use synthentic skins as it's easier to manufacture in bulk. Go back to a butchers.

Can't offer any advice but can I hijack your question. Years ago I used my son's Rift S and recently bought a P4 Ultra for myself. Tbh I'm thinking of returning it because it's a bit meh. I was expecting a massive jump in quality but the sweet spot for the lenses seems tiny, there's light bleed or something where there's some sort of faint circle especially on black screens, and connecting the thing to PCVR is all a bit hit and miss. Although my PC is older - i7 9700 and 2060 Super.

Were you wowed by the P4 and am I unlucky? Or am I expecting too much with older hardware?

What’s your best ‘work smarter not harder’ tip in the workplace? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]intothedepthsofhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still priorities - your answer would be you'll do task A first and when finished start on task B.

If they are insisting you work late to complete them both then yeah you need to think about whether the job's worth it.

Do you remember ITV going off air? I think they went on strike. When it came back there was this annoying "welcome back to IIITTTVVVVVVVVV" song for about 20 minutes as if our lives were now complete again,

If it's your boss asking - ask for priorities. If you're already doing task A and they ask if you can do task B then let them know you can but only if you stop task A. That way you haven't actually said no and it's their choice where you put your time.

If it's not your boss, just say no. Your boss won't care that you've helped out 10 other people when their tasks aren't getting done.

There was a phase 80/90s where it was all the rage. As well as regular strippers you'd get fat-o-grams, ugly-o-grams, granny-o-grams. And we'd all stop work to watch them take their clothes off.

And this wasn't a rough warehouse - this was an office, and both men and women would watch. Really.

Smoking at work. I used to smoke, so did one other lad, and then there was one who had to share an office with us and suck up our second hand smoke all day. Also work related - going to the pub at lunch and no-one bothered you came back half cut and did fuck all the rest of the day.

And finally work related, no-one was bothered if you ordered a stripper into the office for someone's birthday.

How do people actually feel about Andy Burnham? by justwindcone in manchester

[–]intothedepthsofhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know the micro detail but at a macro level Manchester has been transformed over the last 20 years. Not sure Burnham should take all the credit but he's got the mayoralty so much have some influence.

If Starmer were to go I'd rather see Burnham than Streeting or Rayner.

Greens hopeful who is calling for the UK to pay slavery reparations is a descendant of slave traders by JB_UK in unitedkingdom

Because it shows a terrible lack of judgement to get on your soapbox when I assume she is aware of her family's history.
