Mac has always felt more like mine than Windows. Nothing has changed there.

And neither holds a candle to the pure, blinding, white light that is Linux. GNOME, KDE, the world is your oyster and the desktop is your choice.

Series S strikes again.

They’re the same picture.

Depends on what you mean by that. PTs can use chiropractic techniques to great effect.

But there is a MASSIVE difference between an actual PT that sometimes uses specific chiropractic techniques and the con artists who try to shake your down for weekly neck cracks.

Supply Side Jesus says they should just lift themselves up by their bootstraps.

Misquoting the Constitution in a transparent attempt at justifying Constitutional violations?

Why does this sound familiar?

With interest?

Good. As they should.

Stop giving them ideas!

Two part answer: yes and no.

Default Straps: Bad

The included straps leave all the weight at the front of your head, so you will feel neck strain as a result of the constant weight imbalance. This is a common problem with HMDs… it’s not the weight, but the fact that it’s not balanced, forcing your neck muscles to compensate. Additionally, the design relies on facial pressure to keep the HMD in place… and while the “light shield” is not uncomfortable, it’s still pressure.

Aftermarket Straps: Good

HOWEVER, we are starting to see some creative after-market solutions. I am currently using a BOBOVR M3 Mini with some 3D-printed AVP adapters. To fix the weight balance problem I put adhesive tire weights on the back as a counter-balance (same thing I did with PSVR2). With this solution, it’s infinitely more comfortable than either standard strap… no neck strain, dramatically reduced face pressure… I can go all day. You can get the 3d printed adapters on Etsy, if you’re curious.

As for the eye strain/vision: Ordinarily I need reading glasses for normal things, but on the AVP I don’t need anything. There is no eye strain and everything is crisp and sharp and clear… without any Rx inserts.

Not to rain on the parade, but as long as we allow the reality-sized hole that is non-profits owning for-profits, this isn’t something I can get terribly excited about.

Do SiriusXM next.

Ultrawide support? If there were no new content, I would pay just for the ultrawide support.

Except it will be infected with a Ubisoft launcher and Denuvo malware and I do not pay for anything with Denuvo filth in it.

Emulation worked (and still works) great when Apple switched from x86 to ARM. It can be done.

Historically, Debian.

Right now, openSUSE.

Unfortunately, this age-old folk wisdom just isn’t true any more.

Near Los Angeles (and many/most big cities these days) even “fixer-upper””starter” homes cost $1,000,000.

5% down ($50k) would result in a monthly mortgage payment of $7,939.88 which more than twice my rent payment, which is already high.

And saving is nearly impossible given the rate at which the basic costs of living (including rent) have skyrocketed in recent decades.

Nonsense like this is why I no longer use Ubuntu (or anything else downstream of Canonical, or anything with Snaps).

Am millennial… xenniel or “elder millennial to be exact… I have completely given up on ever owning a home or being able to retire. Short of some major acts of public disruption at unprecedented, economy-toppling, billionaire-eating scale, my entire generation - and those after us - are fucked.

I am so sick of these passive article titles. He was tortured to death. He was tortured and murdered. Call it what it is.
