So, capitalism?
Also, you know the alternative to the "Jewish debt based monetary system" is even worse, right?
Without inflationary pressure old-money rich people would simply sit on their accumulated capital (with constantly increasing value - due to the resource scarcity) and do nothing.
We need more incentives for them to spend their money, not less.
Of course the best solution would be to simply nationalize their wealth and redistribute it.
The "economy" already is a one giant circlejerk of rich people giving each other money they got from the government - showing things went to far, regular people have been bled dry - companies are no longer competing for their money, because they don't have any of it left in their pockets.
We're already back to feudalism, except it has been twisted end evolved - keeping and maintaining peasants has been outsourced to the king (government), landlords (the rich) no longer have to bother themselves with it, except they have to sometimes impress king (government, president) with shiny trinkets ("innovation") to enjoy fruits of peasants labor (subsidies).

The eye trackers and controller trackers are just cheap IR cameras. They omitted color passthrough cameras because that would increase the cost.
The wifi dongle is just some realkek wifi adapter
The quest 3 was on sale for around $300 some time ago, the current $500 probably isn't subsidized
I think Valve tried really hard to optimize for low manufacturing cost while not compromising comfort, like with the Deck. They claim it's a premium device but that's just marketing.

>>107706411
Plus VR is a niche enthusiast market and they are willing to pay more than average.

$1200 is a pretty good bet I think.

>The quest 3 was on sale for around $300 some time ago, the current $500 probably isn't subsidized
I googled the profits that meta's VR division made (reality labs), it said it lost billions of dollars but this graph says the opposite and I am too stupid to understand it.
But it's possible that this graph is showing it lost 8 billion dollars and it's just not showing it. And there is also another statement graph from the same graph maker, I forgot the name of and I am too lazy to search for it on google images (and there is probably a Q1 2026 graph somewhere).
Also I don't know how the dongle works, have you seen any quest usb wifi dongles? (I assume the steam adapter works for quest headsets) I checked google and found a reddit post mentioning PrismXR Puppis S1 which is $75 but it's HUGE and it's just a router that looks like a usb ethernet adapter(?).

>>107706813
We don't know how much of that money was for R&D and how much to actually manufacture the hardware. Meta built a ton of bullshit software like the metaverse and sponsored the development of vr games.

>have you seen any quest usb wifi dongles? (I assume the steam adapter works for quest headsets)
The Quest doesn't have a dongle. The Steam Frame one will use 6GHz only to communicate with the built in dedicated 6GHz radio in the Frame for the PC connection, the regular wifi connection ill use 2.4Ghz and 5GHz on the Frame. The Quest can't do this and only uses one wifi band for everything. The dongle will only work for the Frame. The windows drivers were already leaked accidentally some time ago and back then they were writing a custom driver for the Realtek rtl8814b usb wifi adapter.

The real win for VR(in it's current form) is in simulation and remote control not traditional vidya or shitty social media.
Zuck and co completley missed because of two reasons, they're chasing retail consumer tech which it doesn't fit with AND coming at it from the wrong direction, it's not about people moving more into immersive digital worlds it's about tech moving more into the real world that actualy solves a problem.
VR will always be a niche non-normie tech until robots become more integrated into society then they'll be using it mostly for work not leisure.

Not at all because it hasn't happened. This is why you're a loser.

Electrolyte change will massively reduce fires with lithium batteries. No major design changes are necessary either. Just change the electrolyte and you can keep on using Lithium.

Though I want solid state batteries to come along as fast as possible, this solution is much cheaper and may catch on until they can reduce solid state manufacturing costs.

Anyhow this electrolyte change is a game changer for now...

There are many reasons to compile from source, here are some just off the top of my head:
1. The package you're looking for is not available in your repo, thus compiling from source is the only option to get it
2. The package you're looking for is available in your repo, but it's an outdated version (especially true on stable distros like debian), in that case compiling from source is the only way to get the newer version
3. The package you're looking for is available in your repo, but it lacks a compile time option (an actual example i can remember is when debian disabled some extensions at compile time for keepassxc for security reasons, if you wanted those features back you had to recompile it), in this case recompiling is the only way to get those disable features.
3. You run into dependency hell, compiling from source can sometimes fix that

Compiling software yourself offers several advantages, such as the ability to customize it for your specific system. You can optimize performance based on your hardware, select which features to include or exclude, and adjust settings to suit your needs. This can result in faster, more efficient software tailored to your environment.
Another benefit is increased control and transparency. By compiling from source, you can inspect the code for security and ensure it hasn’t been tampered with. This is particularly important when dealing with open-source software, where you can verify the integrity of the code before running it on your machine.

On the downside, compiling software can be time-consuming and complex. It requires understanding how to manage dependencies and configure the build process. For most users, downloading a precompiled version is quicker and easier, especially if they don’t need any customization or the latest features.

>>107706900
If you're applying any patches to the software. Otherwise if a binary is available there is 0 reason to unless you have some kind of minimalism autism and need to exclude things from the build

makes it go faster

Yes, but I only use FOSS apps, and hardly any at that. Any browsing is done through browsers, and the private space (functionally a separate profile) is only ever using a VPN, although I was just reading that android VPNs leak dns so that could be it.

I use it sometimes, but I have a strict rule: only if the body is 1 (ONE) statement. Avoids wasting 2 or 3 lines (depending on brace style) for 1-statement functions.

On anything longer, having a newline separating statements feels cleaner and also the overhead of a couple of lines allocated to braces is no longer significant

shit taste and shit code.

if (foo)
        DoFoo();
if (bar)
        DoBar();
while (!elements.empty()) {
        sum += elements.front();
        elements.pop();
}
while (sum)
        if (sum % 2)
                print(sum);
if (baz)
        if (sum > 30)
                print(print);

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I just let the autoformatter do whatever the heck it wants with my code and I enforce this habit with lints this way I can just write without thinking about formatting and when I'm done the computer fixes it.
In general though I don't like long lines. I tend to arrange things side-by-side if I can, even putting consoles and test outputs as sidebars. So I like using a bunch of lines: ideally each line does one thing. The benefit of one line = one thing is it's more difficult to miss things. Lines are numbered, they're uniformly spaced, they're all aligned according to nesting level.

>>107703965
I don't like it at all. It makes your code annoying to read, but worse, it suggests you probably aren't using automatic code formatting tools with format-on-save. This in turn means that I'm going to have to actually worry about formatting the code I write and make sure it matches yours. I'm used to this being a solved problem so the fact that you're burdening me with doing it manually is very unwelcome.

If it's just your own private code that you never realistically expect others to contribute then whatever, go nuts.

You could put a small sticker dot on the correct side up on the key or fob. Those paint pens can help with this too. But eventually that sticker or the paint will scratch off. USB 1, 2 and 3 full size ports ARE fucking stupidly designed. I will agree with this. The best design would be like a + sign. I don't know how they would figure out positive vs negative but that's not my fucking problem. Shape wise it is superior.
