  • YouTube and Spotify Won’t Launch Apple Vision Pro Apps, Joining Netflix

  • That's the generous best case of what you can tell a computer to display to, and it is still guaranteed to make text look like absolute shit.

    It is not possible to use the terrible resolution of any of the quests to replace multiple physical monitors for productivity. The displays are bad for literally everything but entertainment.

  • I'm not talking about passing monitors through. I'm talking about having multiple virtual monitors in your field of view.

    A shitty virtual 1080p screen taking your entire field of view is not even vaguely capable of being used for productivity purposes. It's not remotely close. The whole point of multiple physical displays is to have a meaningful amount of information directly visible at once.

  • There is no comparable tech.

    You can't get just a headset with comparable resolution, without the high quality low latency passthrough or the computer, for meaningfully less.

  • No you can't.

    The resolution is not close to sufficient for a monitor with any meaningful amount of text on it. Your eyes will be bleeding in about 2 minutes.

  • All you have to do is not block the iPad app though.

  • That's just the cost of doing business.

    The system now is that you have to call them, get bombarded with ads and berated by their customer service for an hour, then maybe they'll think about cancelling you. And gyms are even worse.

  • Microsoft's Windows 12 is expected to be even worse than Windows 11, functioning as a paid "subscription service" or forcing users to watch ads in order to use it without paying

  • Why not post something with the tiniest bit of credibility, then?

    A bunch of completely unreliable nonsense posts from completely unreliable nonsense people does not add up to evidence of any kind.

  • Opinions on the flathub metadata guidelines?

    Jump

  • It makes it clear that they're guidelines and not requirements. I'm not sure how styling is inappropriate.

  • And the title and description don't mention his use case anywhere.

  • Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

  • Valve is on arch.

    This isn't steamOS, just customers using Ubuntu.

  • They're hoping that the current install base will be too lazy to remove their malware.

  • Rust-Written Linux Scheduler Showing Promising Results For Gaming Performance

    Jump

  • I didn't watch it all. (OK, didn't realize it was only a minute. I basically saw everything).

    But I wonder if it's simpler than that, and it's just doing a better job prioritizing the game. Presumably there's a reason they're doing it while running a heavy background process.

    This obviously still has value if it's the case, and is a big part of the point of a scheduler, but the headline implied (to me) that it's a general performance improvement, and the video doesn't demonstrate that.

  • You clearly don't know what a meme language is.

  • Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February

    Jump

  • If you click through to crowd supply it's only $8, which is less ridiculous.

    But you lose the ability to have them toss a cable or two into the box at no real extra shipping cost to them, and I highly doubt their costs aren't lower through their website.

    Wasn't actually pulling the trigger today either way, but it's an odd setup.

  • Damn. Looked decent until I got to $30 on shipping.

  • 4GB of DDR4 is a lot worse than 8GB of DDR3. Those (slightly) older business SFF computers are plenty capable compared to the pi and their software support is at least as strong.

    You're also going to have to add several peripherals to the pi that aren't included in the price.

  • That's fine, but that means that it's no longer anything special for a lot of the home server stuff a lot of people do with them.

    There are loads of cheap, small (not as small, but small enough for most people not to care) used x86 systems (eg thinkcentre) that I can grab instead.

  • Why I'm done with Nobara Linux: A Breakup Story with a Tech Twist

  • Pretty sure "nobara is fine, but I want to change for change to explore the space more" was the point.

    But nobara doesn't belong in the title for that.
