I see so the solution to the very real problem is to pretend that it doesn’t exist and to penalise people. Great.

I’m going to say that I don’t want this. Sure 99% of people have smartphones but I don’t think it’s worth alienating the 1% that don’t so that it’s mildly more convenient for everyone else.

I can already transfer money from one bank account to another without having to involve the government I don’t see the benefit in changing that.

They’re trying to implement something like this in the UK but they haven’t been able to explain how they plan to accommodate people that don’t have smartphones. Because they exist and need to be accommodated for.

You know what you are absolutely right — Organisations are indeed falling for what is known as the doorman fallacy: reducing rich and complex human roles to a single task and replacing people with AI. This overlooks the nuanced interactions and adaptability humans bring to their work.

The thing is if space-based manufacturing became the norm then it would cease to be impractical to implement regulations and oversight. The reason it’s difficult to do now is because getting to spaces difficult, but for space-based manufacturing to be feasible that problem already has to be solved.

I’m just confused about what products can be manufactured completely autonomously, in a 0G environment, and are profitable enough to make space-based manufacture economical.

Probably Pavlov it’s basically just CoD multiplayer, plus a less janky Gary’s Mod, in VR. I’ve just check my stats and I have months worth of play time. It’s also a hell of a workout.

The trailers on the steam page don’t really do it justice. It’s mostly about the community.

If you’re into racing there’s also Gran Turismo, I’m pretty sure Euro truck / American truck simulator also supports VR, as of course does Elite Dangerous and if you’re prepared to buy into it Star Citizen.

There’s also loads and loads of indie games but I don’t really know about those because my VR experience has been exclusively PlayStation limited, where those titles are not available. But I do know that ultra wings is extremely good because I’ve played it on a friend’s headset.

I normally wouldn’t say I was particularly interested in the VR chat style community playroom thing either but I had a lot of fun with Rec Room which is essentially the same thing but is available on PlayStation. The problem with those games is they tend to have a lot of kids in them who shouldn’t really be in there since most of those games are 18 plus. But I take the view that if they’re in there, then they’re fair play, and you can just shoot them if they’re being annoying.

Oh and there’s a dungeons and dragons simulator which is very good. If you’re into dungeons and dragons. Oh and loads of poker games.

Sorry this is a bit rambly, I just keep thinking of titles I’ve played over the years.

The thing about VR games is they don’t tend to get huge advertising budgets because it’s still quite a niche market so it looks like there isn’t really a lot of options. But if you actually have a look on the VR page there’s loads. There’s even quite a good VR MMO who’s name I can’t quite remember, but that’s quite good, if kind of dated looking.

I mean. I’ve used AI to write my job mandated end of year self assessment report. I don’t care about this, it’s not like they’ll give me a pay rise so I’m not putting effort into it.

The AI says I’ve lead a project related to windows 11 updates. I haven’t but it looks accurate and no one else will be able to dell it’s fake.

So I guess the reason is they are using the AI to talk about subjects they can’t fact check. So it looks accurate.

Really he’s been pretty critical of Microsoft lately. I don’t really have a problem with him personally, he definitely doesn’t live in the real world though.

Well one would get a VR headset to play VR games. If you’re not going to play VR games on the VR headset then it really isn’t worth you getting one.

Blame LTT for that. They’re the ones that put out the initial idea that corporations might buy them thus valve cannot sell them at a loss.

When I first heard them say that I initially thought “yeah that makes sense”. But after a while of thinking about it, no it doesn’t make any sense at all, I have no idea why he said that.

Most corporations just buy laptops and then the world’s cheapest docking stations. So would have to be cheaper than a mid-tier laptop and I can’t see that being likely.

It’s hard to benchmark because it’s running on a weird system architecture that no one’s ever really seen before.

On paper it should be at least as good as the quest, possibly a little bit more powerful. But there’s an awful lot of optimisation opportunities possible on ARM, but we don’t know if they will be initially realised. Of course you can also run it in display mode in which case it’s as powerful as the PC it’s paired with. At which point only really care about is the screen, comparable to the quest, the lenses which aren’t good as the quests, and the tracking which is probably quite a lot better than the quest. Also when it is paired to a computer it’s done so via 6G wireless rather than a cable, so that’s quite a lot more convenient.

The steam frame also has an expansion port, which is a new concept for VR headsets so we’ll see what ends up happening with that.

So you’re one of those basics that believes in the whole alpha male thing are you. You know thats marketing BS meant to get idiots to buy protein powder.

Wow this is so revolutionary.

Never in the history of the internet has music been available for free.

Oh so they’re going to open their own fab are they?

Their solution to the RAM shortage problem is for the RAM shortage problem to in fact not exist. Obviously that doesn’t work.

I don’t think they were trying to say that it should be minimised. But we should define crimes precisely. After all we make a distinction between murder by intent, murder by negligence, and murder by proxy. They’re all still murder, and they all still result in lifetime sentences, but we make the distinction.

I’m willing to bet quite a lot of money that Trump will never even find out about her. It’s not happening in the US and I doubt his supporters care about international news, so there’s no reason for any of his aids even to tell him.

What convoy? She’s a sexual abuser of little kids, not some hyper dangerous international red room assassin, she doesn’t need an armed escort. They are just going to put her in the back of a police car with the child locks on.

How did this become about Trump?

Usually that would be true, but Farage is keeping his head down at the moment. No doubt 30p will say something incoherent and quite possibly untrue about all of this, but no one listens to anything he says anyway.
