Comment Re: It has a Snapdragon CPU? (Score 1) 36

It's using one of the latest snapdragon chips, a gen3 (Quest, Pico, Samsung, Play for dreams all still use a gen2 based version), which has x86/x64 emulation build into it. Yes don't expect games to run at full speed, and don't expect all to work, but you'll be able to play many games you already own through steam.

Uhh, check out any of the new standalone headsets, and the Quest 3(s)/Pico 4(ultra) and you'll see they are excellent at streaming PCVR, even the ones with eyetracking support foveated rendering/streaming thanks to SteamVR Link 2.0. Wired is dead, unless you only do sitting/stationary VR or have so much interference, but then you'll have more problems.

Depends on the price of the Frame, which is suggested to be probably around $999, which is a very steep increase in price, without any real improvements over the Quest 3, certainly not if you use it mainly for PCVR. Lenses are on par, but most who already tried it all said the displays aren't good as SDE is visible, so the Quest 3 is better in visuals regard. You're better off waiting for something like the Pimax air or something like that. If you haven't got a Quest 3 or Pico 4(ultra), then it's another matter..

Until you run a few circles... I do agree, a pulley system is already an improvement over the cable just running along you on the ground. I had that, and then I got my 'wirelessmodule' for my HTC Vive Pro, and after that I never EVER wanted to go back to a cable.. and now I have a Pico 4, which doesn't even have a cable to an external battery on your hip/in your pocket, and I never EVER want to go back to that. Just put the battery in the headstrap, and if possible even with hotswappable batteries like some of the third party solutions.

Maybe that was also some offering in the mail which the user thought it was spam. So the user himself is mainly to blame for having been evicted from the room. If you get a mail like that while you are there you should just take it up with the frontdesk to check if it was spam or not.

This is not on Marriott, but on Sonder. And in this case it's also in the user, as he got a mail during his stay, so he should at least called the frontdesk to see what's up, niw saying he thought it was spam is of course just an excuse to try to get some sympathy. Of course I do feel for people when such a thing happens, but it's a business, not a social institute. And those accomodations need to generate money. It's not on Marriot that Sonder didn't pay their bills as Marriot wouldn't just terminate the contract, in most cases they already hadn't got paid in weeks or even months. This just shows that you should think before booking an accomodation through a third party who advertises it for much cheaper as directly..

And there you have it, another myth running around. Maybe you should actually look into what's really going on with the Uyghur people and the stories surrounding it, then you'll see it isn't as presented by many western media. People seem not to know that a lot of terrorism (actually blowing up buildings, committing murder etc.) is being done by some of the Uyghur people, to which the chinese government has acted. It isn't about wanting to purge Uyghurs and their moslim believe, it's about containing terrorists. But hee, that's not the narrative some western media wants to portray. And yes, like with many places, terrible things happen in those camps, just like the US does with people in places like guantanamo bay (which are deliberately not on US soil so they don't have to obey US laws).

"This is not a Chinese bus problem," he said. "It is a problem for all types of vehicles and devices with Chinese electronics built in." That last sentece should ommit "chinese", as US electronics are even known to have backdoors, so do not only point fingers at china, but at every electronics used, no matter which country it was devised in.

And apparently this chinese scientist has found a way to do it properly. People like you always think they know better, but in reality you don't know hack shit as you have no clue how this new technique is done. Thanx to advances in technology and understanding we get better new technologies. And don't go saying "oh, but laws of physics...", those "laws" aren't set in stone as we still gave a lot to learn, those "laws" are just made by humans to describe something, but it's not definite as we still have more then enough we can't explain away with out current "laws of physics".
