Account to login, and the initial version of oculus program was pretty functional

Iirc Meta bought Oculus already but they didn’t push their stuff until halfway through Quest 1 lifetime and before Quest 2 launch

Remember when the Rift and early OG Quest weren’t chained to shitty software forced by Facebook? Oculus was once the gold standard in value for dollar VR experience. Arguably still is - if you intend to use it for half a year after purchase and never again.

Don’t buy Meta VR sets:

parts tend to break in time with no easy/existing replacement (ex. Rift S adjustment wheel, specialized unbuyable cable), shitty customer service, they phase out support for perfectly working sets (Quest 1), and their required software enshittifies every year (third party alternatives like OcuTrayTool worked for me before but idk now).

• signed, former Oculus fan who used them for work and personally bought a Rift S (RIP my beloved)

The Pico 4 has absurdly durable hardware for a cheaper price too (check out the 1 year after reviews/drop tests compared to Quest 2/3 sets), I’d be so sad if Pico exits the cheap VR market after 4S.

General consensus appears to be that the Somnium headsets are terrible value at these prices and the hype train has derailed. Anyone actually interested in buying one of these?

Just hoping the Pico 4s release doesn’t disappoint now

I hope we shift out of Adobe completely where pdf is concerned, Acrobat is the first program I’ve seen with such a massive userbase that’s somehow updated to be worse with every passing year. I had to stick to that shovelware for company laptops but I NEVER want to deal with large documents on Acrobat again.

I was hyped for non-shitty artstation for all of 15 minutes, damn. This is some ridiculously shitty planning.

News about news about fake news, can we go any deeper

This is great news, Vivaldi is my fav ‘side’ browser

Bot on bot violence

I work at a small company - absolutely everything from work macros, accounts and shortcuts are all intertwined in Chrome, they’ve been using it like that for ten years - it’d be faster for me to find a new job then to unclog that mess from the entire office. I still installed firefox for personal use though.

Same for all my non steam games, never had much trouble outside of the occasional winetricks workaround

I hope steam makes a top 10 most privated games sale after this goes live, CoAL would be up there for sure

The rumor is that the fumes are carcinogenic, so I ain’t trying regardless how good it could smell
