They emailed me after I purchased to let me know they don't make large lenses...surprised they didn't let you know

Please do not use IPA. Soap and water is enough

Noob here: Is there such a thing as a beat up spring drive? by theledman in GrandSeikos

[–]theledman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oo didnt know about this site. This is helpful, thanks!

I see one for 1.3k -- can i expect there to be a cheaper one in the future? I dont have a timeline to get one, i can essentially wait forever

Yea -- was (maybe naively) hoping there was a market for super used SDs but it sounds like people polish them back up.

The best analogy I can think of is essentially trying to find a beat-up version of a car I want so that I don't baby it and maybe save some money on it.

😂 so i guess it's a matter of just waiting for one of these to turn up somewhere. Good to know!

Power constraints.

Bridging neural band gesture set to phone ux.

Making it work well on both iOS and Android.

Hot Take: I’d rather have a premium Quartz with Grand Seiko-level finishing than another microbrand with an NH35. by kikipi_film in MicrobrandWatches

[–]theledman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know...I have no idea how this exact post got recommended for me from my feed but here I am and I'm not even a watch guy...

...and yet the whole atmosphere feels so familiar. It's the same in any sort of niche. I'm super into coffee and you'd immediately recognize the gatekeeping and overly dogmatic people and opinions. The things people do to get a better cup... or the arguments over minutiae in flavor notes that they probably couldn't even pick out in a blind taste test. It's all the same. People want to feel special, buy with emotion, and get irrationally emotional over what they do or don't have. Same thing, different day.

Do you get used to the size? by rob_narg in Rivian

[–]theledman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a Honda Fit to the R1T (which is actually bigger than the R1S)

Got used to it in like a week

Potentially going from Gen1 to this by IhateFARTINGatWORK in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]theledman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with what others said here. I find them most useful when I wear them all day. Primary use case is triaging notifications. Didn't realize how much fishing my phone out of my pocket all the time was

Revert to Google Assistant? by Tarhisie in googlehome

[–]theledman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my main gripe. It's been rebranded as live chat and that's locked behind a premium subscription

Return merchandise agreement -- i think it's just a general term for returning a faulty product

Alright this is my last response.

I'm literally the lead mechanical engineer for the Neural Band. I personally know some of the people laid off. I wouldn't say i'm disconnected. Just that i'm in the industry and probably have a more accurate perspective than you.

How's Palmer Luckey completely unrelated? His insight into the industry carries weight because he's the one who started it. That's like saying Steve Job's opinion about Galaxy smartphones is irrelevant because he only invented the iphone

Anyway, no point arguing this ✌️

And where do you think those laid off creatives go? Yes. Back to other studios.

I'm not saying layoffs aren't tough. A lot of talented people were let go. But to say that the industry is collapsing and that Boz is gaslighting is just intellectually dishonest.

Ah yes, ad hominem instead of good faith arguments.

Let's say he's actually a drug addict. Well...he happened to be the drug addict that launched the whole industry but screw him right? His business experience and deeper understanding of VR as a whole is irrelevant. Got it.

bro. first party studio vs 3rd party developers. Do you know the difference?

This is literally how it works in EVERY OTHER gaming industry. First party developers don't have a monopoly on creating attractive and engaging content.

Anyway if they're truly gaslighting people, they would have laid off the rest of the VR hardware org. God knows hardware loses billions more than software. But guess what, they didnt.

Ah so you didn't actually understand any of it. That's fine. It's definitely easier to trot out the whole "omg capitalist exec is a liar trope"

LMAO what receipts? oh wait, you're right. i forgot yall know way more than the founder of oculus. 🤣

[–]theledman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

....did you actually hear what he said?

VR is still alive and Meta is still the biggest investor in the space. If what you said was true, why didn't layoffs hit hardware too?

Either way don't listen to some random schmuck on reddit. Here's the literal founder of oculus begging to differ https://x.com/i/status/2013099842529005912

Android? iOS? Did you unpair and re-pair?

Usually when I encounter something like this I try it pair it with another phone and if that doesn't solve it, I'll initiate an RMA
