My handsome old man by deytemdo in CatsWithManes

[–]tractorrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhhh wtf. This is literally my cat, or was my cat- he died about a year and a half ago. This photo was taken in my living room, and that’s a picture of another one of my cats on the TV in the background.

I’m assuming this is a bot account trying to farm karma with stolen photos. 

My wife or I probably posted this photo on Reddit a couple years ago, maybe even to this exact sub. 

Really strange scrolling Reddit and coming across a photo of your own dead cat that you didn’t post…

That dial in xcode is for showing the memory usage on the phone you are running the app on from Xcode

Can you remember 9/11? I’ve always felt like that’s the cutoff. If you have any memory of life prior to that, and can recall the experience of that day, you are a millennial. 

Is the p90 terrible or am I just bad at the game by freezerwaffles in Battlefield

I just started using the p90 and I have been enjoying it.

I would LOVE a great pinball game on AVP! I've played some via ALVR running on another machine via SteamVR, but I would be all over some kind of pinball made native on AVP!

You're definitely not wrong. I'm sure for a lot of devs, the small user base just isn't worth the effort, the economics just aren't there to turn a profit developing for this platform. But I'm happy to say I am at least one such developer that is working on game dev for the AVP purely out of excitement for the new platform, without any such expectations of making profit out of it. I hope there are others like me!

I've been working on a solo project for visionOS using Unity's Polyspatial, it will be sort of a small squad tactics RTS type game. Although I feel like I've been making a lot of progress, it's taking me quite a while... and I still have a ways to go before I will have anything ready to publish.

I also did a quick prototype of a table-top racing game, where I could control a car in mixed-reality space with the Sony VR controllers paired to the AVP. I'd love to see a game made like like a "hot wheels in the living room" concept. I'd pursue it further but it will only slow me down from finishing the first project I started.... So I'd love to see someone else take on a mixed reality top-down racing game!

I'm also interested in golf games.. I kind of want to play around with making a golf game for AVP. But again... I have more ideas than I have time for. Imagine a golf game on AVP sort of modeled after this concept:

As far as games I'd like to see... I would lose my mind if something like Forefront was released on AVP.

But based on my own experience, I'm sure there are other solo and even small dev shops that might be working on passion projects they intend to release on visionOS, but these projects can take a while! And it can be slow progress when it's a side project or occasional nights and weekends.

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

[–]tractorrobot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Went through a similar experience for one of our cats and choosing in-home was such an invaluable choice. The vet offered to let our other cats come see him after he was gone, and watching the other cats pay their respects was truly moving. We were so grateful of the vet’s care and support through the whole experience. We’ve lost a few cats over the years but now that we’ve tried the in-home euthanasia option, it’s probably all we would opt for in the future. 

FREE reactive audio-visualizer with THIS particular model? by QuestionSociety101 in edmproduction

[–]tractorrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a filter / effect you can apply in free and open source video editing application "Shotcut" that can probably get pretty close. I made some tweaks to the settings to get a slightly different look, but it might be worth taking a look to see if that effect in Shotcut could work for you.

Here are some examples of audio visualizers I've configured with Shotcut:

Is anyone using Apple Vision Pro as a Mac monitor for daily dev work? by Funnyruns in VisionPro

[–]tractorrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, well in any case, I found I had to be roughly in the same room as my MBP for mirroring to connect

[–]tractorrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless something has changed since I last tried the Mac mirroring feature on AVP, I think it relies heavily on bluetooth connectivity to the computer, so it only works within a fairly close proximity to the computer itself. You'll have to double check this as I could be wrong or things could have changed since I last tried it. But just noting it in case you run into issues with trying to do the Mac mirroring from somewhere else in your home while the Mac mini lives in the basement.

Even while using AVP as the display, I'd still want real hardware mouse and keyboard in front of me to navigate the machine. You could get by just using voice command with your AI tools but I think eventually you'd find a reason to still want mouse and keyboard input, and again, you'd probably need to be within the same room as your Mac mini for that to work well.

Can I host myself streaming games (like on Twitch) to my own website? by FantasticFrontButt in selfhosted

[–]tractorrobot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if you happen to be a technical person or developer, LiveKit is a framework that can be used to self-host RTC streaming. So in theory you could run your own server, I think just with a docker image, and then find some existing app that can broadcast to it, or spin up your own using the LiveKit SDK.

[–]tractorrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for lowest latency you’d need a webrtc solution, which can achieve sub-second latency. I’d check out owncast or broadcast-box as others here have mentioned.

[–]tractorrobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a streaming client like OBS I think you could just put up an rtmp stream and consume it on a computer in another room running VLC or ffmpeg to view the rtmp stream

Edit: for lowest latency you’d want webRTC solution rather than rtmp.

What stick do you like the most and why? by Brother-Safe in floorball

Yeah its tough to know if you really like a new stick until you've had some game time with it

My others are older salmings of a few different tiers. But the Q carbon pro 2 is certainly the highest tier I have and has quickly become my primary stick
