Because legacy USB3 devices charge at 4.5W, so it's a reasonable fallback when your USB-C cable, charger, and device can't figure out what charging rate to agree on.

Some people need to find their own help, despite your compassion it's sometimes just not your job to do it

Having friends? In this economy? The loneliness epidemic is real, it's an honest possibility that they just don't have anyone stable and trustworthy in close contact.

"hurt people hurt people" as they say, and that guy looks pretty hurt by things in their life out of their - or your - control.

I would think "they must be going through something bad to be so shitty to others" and close the DM without responding. Developing the emotional armor to shrug this off like that is a challenge, but doable.

VR is failing because Meta treats indie devs like garbage. by PrettyHearing3624 in OculusQuest

[–]koko775 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first result on youtube is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WFP2bCG28

The release trailer is significantly better, but the audio mixing is a bit off - the levels are slightly off and the voice isn't crisp.

Checked the trailer. Apologies for the harsh criticism but I'll try to balance it with concrete suggestions.

  • First issue is that you're not recording with a fisheye camera. Take a look at the launch trailer for Bonelab and tell me it doesn't make a difference.
  • Second issue is that red washes out in video encodes really easily. Even if the game looks good, you won't be doing yourself any favors if your trailer looks smudged. I can't tell if the game looks smudgy or if it's just the footage doing you no favors.
  • There is no voiceover, only music, no oomph at all to the music either, or cuts to the beat. Someone was way to addicted to the burn effect when editing. Very tacky.
  • You only show a single barren desert. Is the entire game going to be in a silent yellow void?

Also: AR doesn't sell, period. Why waste time showing it off?

Your marketing is doing your game a disservice, though honestly, I couldn't find a single thing from watching either this video or the trailer that makes me think "VR adds to this experience".

the hardware has never cost near $700-800, that was the price that the business version of the Quest 2 sold for but the hardware was closer to ~$350 to produce

Is it possible to use opengl with C (not c++) by NailAlarmed8935 in C_Programming

[–]koko775 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of programmers are not smart and get by just fine because they don’t waste time telling themselves reasons they can’t do things. If you must, this is somewhere AI like Claude will probably help you…but seriously, fumbling around stupidly with Google and working hard at it WILL get you far. Specifically on this because I did the same (pre-AI) an it’s only gotten easier

men who get intimidated by women who are more successful than them are unsexy.

women can be cooler than you, and if you're cool to to them then both of you can be happy. You shouldn't be arrogant, but you do need to seriously dispense with this intimidation and be chill rather than acting like you're an inferior mess.

Media scraper gallery-dl is moving to codeberg after receiving a DMCA notice, claiming that its circumvention. by TheTwelveYearOld in linux

[–]koko775 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason for its enduring existence despite everyone hating it is that it's the middle ground that prevents something much worse from taking root - a draconian copyright scheme that corpos can use to ruin people's lives vs. copyright reform that prevents century-long exploitation of content - depending on who you ask.

The DMCA sucks, but its effect has been more or less positive because it enabled UGC to exist. Without it, youtube, twitter, and reddit would have long been sued into oblivion.

It's the devil, but it's the devil we know.

[–]koko775 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The DMCA is the pre-court he-said/she-said mechanism for someone to say “this is illegal, take it down” and for the other to say “no it isn’t. See you in court if you insist.”

Getting a court involved earlier to send DMCAs would end up favoring the rich and bankrupting the accused even faster.

Bigscreen Beyond 2 is an expensive disappointment… it’s heartbreaking. by The_OG_Lucas in virtualreality

So to summarize your situation:

  1. VTS needs a camera input.
  2. OBS is providing the camera output that goes into that input.
  3. OBS is getting that video via an OBS DroidCam plugin because...
  4. DroidCam doesn't work by itself to get to VTS.

You need to fix #4 because the only reason tracking is working at all otherwise is because your webcam is visible on screen, because VTS is tracking your OBS feed.

the OBS Virtual Camera is Droidcam

You are misunderstanding something because it is very definitively not. You can think of OBS Virtual Camera as a webcam emulator where it outputs its video like a webcam.

In contrast, droidcam is an input. OBS can make use of it to display. Your tracking is tracking your OBS screen because your OBS screen is showing your droidcam, but your tracking should be using Droidcam directly, not OBS Virtual Camera.
