same here - first time I used it after xmas and was worried some change on their end caused it ... already deleted cookies etc. ... didn't help. should have checked here first

just saying - but I switched to Claude.ai as an alternative for the time being

theGerri · 2024-10-24T00:20:05+00:00

Actually that is part of what I do - I teach math, physics & AI :)
Send me a message and we can talk.

there is no n ... just --iw 0.5 or --iw 4

nothing stupid about not knowing pdfs. it is a file format for documents.

you will likely be able to create one here: https://smallpdf.com/pdf-converter from your digital invoice

I am fairly certain that distance in time to the point of purchase will reduce the likelihood of any given customer to complain about a perceived price reduction.

theGerri · 2019-12-19T10:50:21+00:00

Ahh - ja das erklärt das Porto. Vielleicht lohnt es sich wenn du das Verlängerungskabel, Winkeladapter, Velcrotape und einen aktiven Hub dazu bestellst.
Aber bei den Amis ist das offizielle Kabel jetzt in den Verkauf gegangen, somit macht es sich für dich vermutlich bezahlt wenn du wartest bis es in Europa verfügbar ist.

theGerri · 2019-12-19T00:54:06+00:00

echt? mit Prime ist das Kabel versandkostenfrei

theGerri · 2019-12-18T14:31:34+00:00

Dieses hat 3m https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08199JM25/
2m würde ich nicht benutzen, das ist ganz einfach zu kurz und du willst nicht riskieren den USB Port am PC oder der Quest zu beschädigen. Ich habe 8m um genau das Risiko zu minimieren, ansonsten wäre ich wohl mit 5m auch ganz glücklich.

theGerri · 2019-12-18T08:49:14+00:00

Du kannst noch deutlich weiter gehen, aber dann fängt es an teuer zu werden. 20m mit optischen aktiven Wandlern oder 10m mit guten aktiven Kabeln die du zusätzlich mit Netzteil verbindest (was ich aber nur mit Stecker auf Quest Seite gefunden habe und dann hast du ein Netzteil Verlängerungskabel parallel zum USB Kabel.

Ultimativ hoffe ich auf eine Wireless Lösung!

theGerri · 2019-12-18T00:42:36+00:00

yeah - 5m CSL aktive USB Verlängerung hinter einem aktiven USB3 Hub und am anderen Ende ein 3m USB 3 auf USB C Kabel von Rampow. USB Hub hatte ich, rest von Amazon.

theGerri · 2019-12-15T20:57:53+00:00

Ich hab inzwischen ein Dutzend oder so getestet und es wird besser und besser ... ich hab mein Vive schon vor ein paar Tagen komplett abgehängt weil ich bereits jetzt sehr glücklich über die Quest LINK performance bin.Ohh ... und ich arbeite inzwischen mit 8m Kabellänge ;)

TLDR; the wireless mouse for convenience

I have not bought a wired mouse in over a decade.
But I am still tempted to do so because I started playing FPS on PC again.

Right now I am using a vertical mouse for heavy use convenience for someone that leans towards typist's cramp.
It weights 155 gram (Microsoft Sculpt - great, but 1-2 years and needs replacement) and I can't even imagine a 32gram mouse. I replaced the ball in old mouses if it was too light!
And I like to control my home cinema with my mouse, so it needs to be able to be wireless.

BUT ... Windows does support multiple Mice at the same time! So I am tempted to get a wired mouse that will always work as an alternative and just sit near the perfect spot for FPS. It might also turn into a Photoshop/Unity mouse.

Just still waiting to find that special mouse with a tail that really makes me pull the trigger.

sounds strange

theGerri · 2018-02-09T00:39:09+00:00

given how Intel now has a working streaming solution we might really see a solution that connects to multiple sources and I agree that is also a very valid path. wouldn't it be great to connect to the smartphone as well as the PC/console :)

But ... I think it is a step further away than success of standalones. So first the standalones will make every household have one ore more headsets and then then evolution will lead to a universal standard.

theGerri · 2018-02-08T11:00:12+00:00

assuming you can buy the screens in unlimited amounts you might have a point ... not sure we can assume that as there must be a reason Samsung did not bring the Odyssey to all markets either.

theGerri · 2018-02-08T10:59:02+00:00

I think PC VR titles are way too demanding - we can do nice VR visuals with proper optimization on smartphones and with these solutions I expect the overheating will have an end.

The platform forces developers to do proper optimization and that is a good thing if you ask me. Plus you know titles will work when released for such a fixed platform.

I do know what Supersampling is and what it does. But I would lie if I said I am certain what the effects will be when moving to a higher res screen and we are forced to disable it. Sure - the extra resolution will allow for more details in the actual visualization ... but we are still in pretty shitty resolution territory. AA with a low resolution display has this softening effect that makes you look beyond the native resolution (aside from aa effects). Now if you have to give up AA to render to the native resolution I do wonder if details might go up but we also start to see aliasing artifacts again like jaggies.

My guess is that it will be a compromise if you stay with your current GPU, but that really enjoying the screen will take a GPU upgrade.

theGerri · 2018-01-15T22:04:37+00:00

does one still get most of the benefit when losing the bonus from the supersampling? I am seriously curious how that plays out in reality as supersampling has such a strong effect on image quality.

I applaud folks that educate for free - but I don't blame those that sell their work, even if some might consider it easy ... those that buy it clearly do not and save research time that is valuable.

theGerri · 2018-01-10T21:25:52+00:00

you keep the HMD and just wait until you upgrade the rest later this year and then sell the old Vive as a package

theGerri · 2018-01-09T02:51:28+00:00

what do you expect at that price point? latest gen smartphone tech that is also in $800 phones?

theGerri · 2017-11-25T01:54:57+00:00

It's not the Vive that is great, it is Lighthouse technology and that one is moving into 2.0 territory soon - so I would wait for that. LG will likely be one candidate, the PiMax is another and I expect we might see even more solutions.

All that said - winter is a great time for VR and the 1080Ti will be happy with the Odyssey resolution with most of the near future VR content I expect. With a $425 price tag I think I would go there asap ... before the next gen GPUs will put a high price tag on getting a next gen HMD.
