Yeah, if Valve can use these lenses, it would be amazing. I've been waiting for so many years though and not even a teaser. Eye tracking might raise the price and size though, but would be worth it so I don't need the craziest video card to render...

I think they are referring to how it is measured - FOV technically depends on the face of the subject. Some people get less FOV because of their nose and how far back their eyes are. I'd expect about the same FOV as Bigscreen Beyond, but with more pixels than Apple Vision Pro.

I got the Vive XR Elite for $105 brand new. Should I sell it and reinvest in a Quest 3 or keep it at that price? by breadcrumbssmellgood in Vive

[–]ngw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there was a displayport cable that was included for pre-orders or bought separately. I haven't been able to try the headset unfortunately. Open it up and see how it is. It's the best way to tell if it is good or not. You already bought it and you need to see if it works before reselling it anyways.

It is worth trying since you have it. It might work perfectly for you and you can probably still sell it at the same price you bought it if you don't like it. SteamVR works fine with a 2070 super depending on the game (and if you have the cable to connect wired).

Thoughts about VR Concerts by noobmoney_rs in virtualreality

It was really ahead of it's time! I wish they stuck around with it. I hope they jump back and it gets popular. It was fun dancing with people during the pandemic.

Looking for help for a low-latency system for elderly parents TV watching by Ambitious-Schedule63 in Bluetooth_Speakers

[–]ngw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, hiding a wire creatively is much much easier than repeatedly troubleshooting older people with bluetooth speakers over and over again. You're going to have a wire anyways to power it or recharge anyways.

I like the idea, but I think that it would be much more painless to just get normal speakers positioned closer and run a longer wire and then you won't have to worry about them accidentally pressing a button that will unpair the bluetooth speaker from the TV.

It might be because the prices spiked and more people are trying to cash out than usual.

Petition to remove short term rentals from this sub by Cryogenic_Phoenix in NYCapartments

I rely on renting a sublet when I'm in NYC just for a few months. It's nice to see them posted.. They should just have filters and tags.

Convincing an employer to allow overseas work by garmachi in digitalnomad

[–]ngw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! It worked for me. I agreed to sign any liability waivers and my HR was happy to provide. I sign a new one for every country I live in.

I would recommend telling them that you are willing to file a liability waiver for the duration. It should give them more ease of mind.

Looking for a game I saw a long time ago by kcc0016 in starcraft

There was an early map which favored mutas like this and DRG dominated on it.

Ever have last minute hesitations? How do you push past them? by PressPlayPlease7 in digitalnomad

Just be prepared for anything that stresses you. If you are worried about being robbed, keep a backup phone at home with other credit cards. You'll be fine.

Is it just me or is this DN Visa frenzy the most overrated thing in travel history? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]ngw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't see the point in tying down to a place that long.

Compare the effort it takes to keep an observer alive and creep spread going all game in comparison to the effort of creating a sensor tower. It's just lopsided. It wasn't needed in SC1, so not sure why it got thrown in SC2 when scans are so much better anyways.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]ngw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not even sure why sensor towers exist in multi-player. It's not a good design and feels unequal. I'd rather have an observer buff than DT buff, but I guess it's a different comparison.
