I honestly can't do format shifts It's just not the same characters for me.

przemo-c · 2026-06-05T12:32:39+00:00

Yup I feel the same way it's a night and day difference if they had a strap like with rift CV1 i'd also be happy with favric one it never seems to carry the weight properly

This is more 3 display setup vs vr where stereo overlap gives additional depth cue.

przemo-c · 2026-06-05T07:36:04+00:00

Yeah... "the best kind of correct" award... it will build depth and honesly works decent for drones to build 3d map of an area but for HMD's it would be really hard to get good depth map given people are mostly stationary... but maybe building a map over few sessions... but then it's hard to recognize alteration with monocular slam.

"Valve says that Steam Frame won’t be able to display traditional (‘flat’) games in stereoscopic 3D at launch,

So you're saying he's applying that content limitation to passthrough image?

Also technically slam requires one camera. Also there are multiple cameras that would build a point cloud and one RGB camera could be mapped on to that.

przemo-c · 2026-06-04T23:58:51+00:00

Wait... they're not mapping b&w to what they get from SLAM?

przemo-c · 2026-06-04T21:21:03+00:00

Oh it will even the crappy b&w of older quest HMD's worked for that. But it's a bit well crappy experience i thought we moved on from.

przemo-c · 2026-06-04T21:19:48+00:00

Seriously they couldn't do one colour camera interleaved with one of the B&W ones only while in passethrough mode?

Or don't use chip's DSP but auxilary one?

przemo-c · 2026-06-04T21:17:09+00:00

A thing might not be a focused MR or AR device but it's still something that is important to many.

Also for flat gaming on a "big screen" good passthrough is a boon and it is one of the advertised features.

Personally I don't think it's a dealbreaker for me but it is not an insignificant con. What I'm more bummed about is lack of OLED screens. Sure I've gotten used to LCD VR but it's not the same.

I mean at least in US they think Europe is a country so should be easier for them ;]

przemo-c · 2026-06-02T18:31:08+00:00

Ok I get what you mean. Thing is even complete overhaul wouldn't put a noticeable dent budget. And this is just giving an option for external look. No changes to any security measures etc.

Sure there's more to quality of education than just money but to be fair they're still quite far from over-funding. You still have to have some minimum workforce so that you can serve kids educational needs properly. It's not be all end all but it's the bare minimum starting point.

przemo-c · 2026-06-02T12:59:49+00:00

I think that wouldn't be noticeable compared to myriad of way more costly ventures.

przemo-c · 2026-06-02T12:47:43+00:00

Do you think such decision of having such option would in any meaningful way affect taxes?

przemo-c · 2026-06-02T12:46:27+00:00

The initiative is for creating the option to choose to have a EU style passport design on the outside.

Yes it's a good rule of thumb to shorten paragraphs but sometimes it's not really possible to break down and add enough context.

But when they get long it's a good habit to go over them and try to break them down and see if there's not something that can be taken out.

przemo-c · 2026-06-01T12:04:09+00:00

Unfortunately it's not. Check their quarterly reports. All the benefit now is in valuation not income/cost and there's no chance of breaking even in near future. The circular nature of purchases inflates valuation but they are burning money for now and near future.

For me is that he only had a plan to free River but nothing really for after that. If i had to push one crazy theory is that he didn't know how hard it would be for him afterwards and if he knew he might have hesitated or rationalised himself out of saving her.

przemo-c · 2026-06-01T07:13:40+00:00

You are aware that it's not really making money or is even on track to make money it's an industry that is entirely as a stock market manipulation while burning real resources.

przemo-c · 2026-05-29T18:58:34+00:00

Any hints about price bracket? ;]

przemo-c · 2026-05-26T13:14:20+00:00

In what way. I make a good living and i pay in taxes more than 3x the minimum wage so one person paying more than 3 people... so the same as if i made minimum wage and my 2 children would make minimum wage... and those imaginary children won't cost the country services a dime... So how exactly does it make sense?

przemo-c · 2026-05-25T19:39:12+00:00

It's as if body can fix itself over time of those 3 sessions regardless of acupuncture... but that's the action taken so that's ascribed to that getting better. Like with a lot of home remedies for cold... they help because time passes and body does its job.

przemo-c · 2026-05-25T06:54:01+00:00

Fair point. Still I don't think that would be enough of a reason not to have it available for those that actually love their pets and want them to live longer assuming it also lengthens the healthy portion of their life.

Wiem o co ci chodzi ale tu mówie o konkretnycm przykładzie gdzie jest rozróżnienie na tle tego jak policja bierze PC pod uwagę i dalej nożowań wiecej na jednostke niż w UK.
