No it's not like that. Unlike Minecraft Bedrock on PC, XBOX, PS, Switch, iOS, or Android, there's no VR specific Minecraft version that can be installed. If you have Minecraft on PS4 or PC, VR support is already built in.

For example, Skyrim and Skyrim VR are separate games, but Minecraft isn't. They can't just leave the VR version alone because there is no VR-only version and the only thing that determines whether you're playing in 2D or VR is a flag that's set on launch.

Edit: Again, discounting the Gear VR version here because they dropped support for it long before Better Together happened and it can only be played on the Gear VR which was basically Google Cardboard.

Yes, including EPUB files

Article is wrong about many things, seems poorly researched or the topic not fully understood by the author

There's no real VR version of Minecraft for them to leave be or for people to lose access to. VR is just a feature built into the Bedrock Edition that's activated by launching the game through a headset.

Unless you count the Samsung Gear VR version. That one's been left alone ever since the Gear VR fell into obsolescence and can still be played in its unsupported state on an unsupported headset.

Critically, while they wont appear as drives, they will appear as MTP devices (the same way Android phones do) and will still allow you to transfer files. The communication protocol is different, but "New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers" isn't true unless your OS of choice doesn't support MTP.

I like to rag on Amazon as much as the next guy here, but this article seems a tad misleading. They do still show up when you plug them in. The article even says they use MTP now instead of functioning as a direct USB mass storage drive, which means you can still plug them into your PC and transfer files though File Explorer. Android handles USB file transfers the same way, and that works fine.

Well that's a shame

Sounds like things are getting tense. I feel like this is just a negotiating tactic by Arm, but man it would sure be wild if they follow through beyond the 60 day notice period.

Surely my 750W PSU and i5-14600K will be enough...

Yeah, I wonder what happened to cause that. Run out of money in the SuperPAC? Legal issues?

What happened to the campaign where they'd pay you to make a voting plan?

Finally getting back to work on Half Life 3

I know right? They are super good for that and I still haven't managed to get my hands on one of the ones with a USB cable because of what people are charging for them used now.

If you have any desire to make things or tinker, they're fantastic. They'll save you tons of time and possibly money also. I have a bunch of knickknacks and functional printed parts around my house now.

If that's not your cup of tea though, you probably don't have a good reason to buy one. It's also a hobby and if you don't plan to use it for more than printing the occasional spare part which you could otherwise just buy at a store, I don't think it would justify the cost.

If it helps, my high school was ahead of the curve on 3D printer adoption. Someone on the staff must have been in-the-know and somehow managed to convince them that the $3,000 purchase was worth it.

I sure am glad that those prices have come way down since then.

I've seen both of these videos and never realized they were from the same channel, I guess I need to check out the rest of their stuff haha

3D printing came back at me hard. Getting to use the school printer in high school was cool and now that I'm an adult I've bought 3 of my own.

Does it still? Refresh time looked much improved with Gallery 3 so I thought it was better now. The ReMarkable is the only device I know that uses it and I haven't had the chance to try it yet.

Have you looked into the Note Air 3 C or the Tab Ultra C Pro from boox? They're both exactly what you describe, and the Tab is out now but the Note launches October 24th.

Cool, I wonder which type of color technology this uses though, I can't seem to find that info.

I would prefer Gallery over Kaleido, but I'm guessing it's Kaleido because of the different ppi listed between the b&w and color modes.
