I can smell this meme.

Soulseek was created in 2001 and is still incredibly active. I don’t think it will break any time soon.

Put home assistant on a raspberry pi, plug a Zigbee dongle to it, and start connecting smart gadgets to it. Or better yet buy a home assistant Green. You can check the home assistant docs to see if a smart device requires cloud connectivity to work — in general if it connects through Zigbee (or ZWave or Matter) then you’re good, but if it connects through WiFi then it probably is cloud based.

It’s perfectly possible to have a smart home that does not call home. Home Assistant is an amazing piece of software that can allow smart devices from different manufacturers talk to each other without connecting to a cloud service — all done locally.

I’ve been using ikea bulbs since I started with home automation and have had no issues. Some I connect directly to my Zigbee receiver and others I connect to the dirigera hub which home assistant sees through HomeKit.

You probably won’t get emails from Reddit anymore.

I always figured that was exactly why they had both consoles.

I made the same mistake. The Verge misreported. What a shame.

Accelerometer ≠ gyroscope

Curious that you typed c/o instead of %. I don’t even know his to type that on a keyboard lol

Wow finally gyro support. That’s the biggest info nugget for me.

Right. But most people who subscribe to a Linux community on Lemmy have probably heard of Linux before.

Not to brag but my wife has 18 months and I have 2 months. Canada doesn’t always get it right but when we do it’s fantastic.

This is the way.

Not exactly a VM but a desktop environment.

Fair enough! Not trying to guilt or pass judgement.

Have you used windows sandbox before? I’ve used it with success back when I used cracked executables.

You could always run it in a sandbox if you’re not sure.

Unpopular opinion: for executables, I purchase everything. It’s no longer worth it to me to risk a ransomeware attack. The game you’re looking for is $20 on steam which certainly isn’t free, but worth it imo.

If you want something done ask a busy person to do it.

I could be wrong on this since I have no source but I always assumed that Oculus headsets were cheap because they’re a Meta product and you’re actually paying for it with your data/telemetry.

Like, the ungodly amount they spent on VR R&D is absolutely not being made up for by the few hundred dollar price tag on their headsets — I bet that barely covers the cost of materials. That must be for a reason.
