Bruce Lee vs The Kiss Army by Guttermouth

For the first few weeks post separation it was hard, mainly because I missed my kids. But for the two years we were separated I got in great shape, learned to be alone and love it, and had some great experiences.

Yeah but you’ll want full gold plating and nitrogen-infused insulation for the best picture.

Not even going out of business, just them discontinuing the product.

People also used to sleep in houses made of sod with mud floors and wood fire heating. But we don’t now because that’s not very nice, despite it being incredibly energy intensive to light, heat, and cool a whole house and refrigerate parts of it and have thinking machines just to play games on.

I want cars to be luxurious and fashionable but not necessary. I think it will lead to cars that look and drive better, and fewer people on the roads will make driving more fun.

I was gonna mention it but thankfully it’s been discontinued

I’m not disputing that VR is cool. I’ve tried it and it’s fun to walk with dinosaurs and visit the space station and sculpt in 3D. I’m saying it’s not useful. For a game console it’s great but it’s not a computing platform.

Quite a few people buy cars just because they need to get places and there’s not good alternatives. Otherwise why would cars like the Sentra or CRV exist? Just making it so those folks don’t need to buy one would do a lot to make cars more luxurious and fashionable.

If you think “The technology isn’t ready yet” is shitting on it then you need a thicker skin

And saying “Just go back to college, get a masters in software engineering, and build the useful app yourself” is a perfect example of why it’s not ready yet.

I agree that using it as an unlimited display would be a great application. The only problem is that the device itself is too heavy for long-term usage, which goes back to the technology not being ready yet.

Maybe if all that you put on your face was a screen, and the rendering and power were offloaded to a desktop it could be made light enough to wear for hours at a time.

ETA: I haven’t had trouble with external monitors on Mac, and I’ve been running dual screens since 2002 when I grabbed an old 20" CRT from the garbage outside my dorm.

There’s the butthurt VR bro who shows up every time I point out the tech for VR isn’t ready yet. There’s always one of you.

And it’s obvious you didn’t read my whole comment because I said that it’s got games. But that just means it’s a game console. What I want is an application that does something useful and productive.

For example, these VR devices have the software and hardware to map 3D spaces. How about an app that lets me map my house and then see what it would be like to knock out a wall or add a window or something? Heck, realtors could use it to do virtual walk throughs of homes.

As long as people admit that the good isn’t perfect and that they’re gonna work to make it more perfect I don’t mind.

But Democrats passed the ACA and then decided that’s the best we could possibly do, and that anyone who wants more is somehow being more unreasonable than our current health care system.

It’s an ugly dud just like every VR headset because the technology for displays, processing, and batteries make them look like gigantic, heavy ski goggles.

Plus there’s no applications. Games are cool, socializing is cool (I guess), and porn is porn, but what can I do with it? It’s like releasing the first Macintosh without MacWrite or MacPaint.

One of the many things I liked about Hail Mary Project was that the aliens are extremely non-humanoid, but you still develop empathy for them. It’s my favorite Andy Weir book by far.

Remember the Australian wildfires? That was some real shit from 2020.

Glad nothing else happened that year.

convoluted set of settings

1. Attempt to open the app
2. Go to Privacy & Security Settings and give it permission
3. Open the app

Note that this is only with unsigned apps. You can download other apps and run them just fine as long as they’re signed.

Much confuse. Such convolute. Wow.

As much as I want to believe this, they didn’t even link to the referenced Reddit post.
