ITT: how not to design a laptop>mouse buttons are part of the touchpad so you unwittingly activate unwanted gestures and mistake the left button for the right because you can't feel the border between the two and have to look down

>>107714365>geminifuck off. this thread is literally called local
>>107712625As usual it fucking sucks because comfyui is a pile of fucking shit that it don't have simple looping methods built in. I tried to figure out how to just loop over 2 samplers instead of the retarded copy paste many nodes in a chain, god i hate this fucking stupid shit. I can do a looping method using the usual lastframe as next image using a load from outputs node but i have not figured out a way to do it for those infinity lora's due to it needed to start with 0 motion frames and then each next part requires previous latents and 1 motion frame. The workflow provided as you said is confusing and not clear wtf its actually meant to be doing. Some one did a looping workflow but its as usual a massive pile of noodles and those retarded sub groups and i can't see how its meant to actually work.Fuck comfyanon for being such a retard and not allowing a simple loop back otherwise it would be relatively simple.
ComfyUI honestly sucks. I stick to standalone programs. I've tried it for all of 30min and no i will not try it again. It's too complicated
>>107712625Actually I think i've figured out a way to better do this with my own workflow that takes last frame and uses it as the next image in the loop. i'd only need to vae encode each last frame and feed into the same WanImageToVideoSVIPro node as anchor, ah wait no that might not work for those cases when their face goes out of frame, ah fuck it its got my head done in this trying to figure it out. I think I'd still need at least another set of samplers or something. I refuse to use workflows that chain samplers because that is a fucking retarded way of doing shit >:|
>>107714605Ah i wonder if i could some how iterate the motion frame count to 1 because i think it fails to start unless its set to zero initially, i'll have to try that next, i'm busy messing with the kj workflow i think. which is working well with Q8 tastysin checkpoint which has a bunch of stuff built in including speed lora's to enable 4 step gens.
Am I retarded or a genius? Gonna hook it up to an external monitor and unironically install Gentoo on it.

>>107709926I hate the keyboard layouts on these. Every key on a keyboard should be at least 1x1u. 0.5u wide keys are impossible to use.
>>107709926this exact mini laptop is quite terrible, the mouse buttons are literally just keyboard buttons and they use software on windows to emulate the mouse buttons (if anyone knows a non-janky way of turning keyboard buttons into mouse buttons on linux i kinda need that information)also the audio interface doesn't seem to have linux drivers, or at least i never managed to get sound on that thing, the keyboard is uncomfortable but that's expected, the touchscreen is unreliable and sometimes just stop working, it does not have type C charging which for a brand new device is quite unacceptable

The steam frame is gonna cost like 700 dollars maybe more with the RAM issues going isn't it? The Quest 3 was being sold for 407+100 dollar in Amazon credit a week ago.
>>107711945It can run games by itself, although how many and how well is yet to be seen.
What's my best bet if I already have a good PC and just want to connect a headless VR headset to it?
If any of you care about an actual no compromises vr headset you will have to wait like 10-15 years. Not even exaggerating. We'll need around 60 ppd (pixels per degree) to be able to not see the individual pixels. even the apple vision pro has like 35 ppd only, the meta quest 3 has 21 and the steam frame will have 18-19. The steam frame has a slightly lower ppd even though it has a slightly higher resolution because the binocular overlap is supposed to be higher than on the quest 3, like 90-95% (not official) vs ~75%. For a no compromises vr headset we would need close to 100% binocular overlap. But even with 100% binocular overlap we also want a high fov, current standard is 110° but humans have ~200° fov. Let's say we use 180° Fov as a realistic and very usable goal. So now we have 100% binocular overlap and 180° fov, what resolution do we need for 60ppd? As we have 100% binocular overlap this calculation is easy, it's 60*180=10800. So we need a display with 10800 horizontal pixels per eye. Vertically we can see like up to 150° so if we take 130° for that we get 60*130=7800. So each eye has a 10800x7800 resolution so 21600x7800 in total. I think it's pretty clear why VR will stay a blurry, low fov meme. At least for a while. So if you wanna try this tech out, do it, but apart from the novelty don't expect too much.
>>107714145any headset with eye tracking so you can use foveated streamingframe is probably going to be the cheapest optionstreaming looks like dogshit without it because the decoder on the headsets is too weak to push good enough bitrates for the full video and you get massive latency if you push it too high

>>107714567Those are nice, but they don't solve the real issues the language has.Standard library threads are nice, but cross platform threading libraries weren't exactly rare before.Checked arithmetic is nice, but could easily be achieved on all compilers before. Nice to have, but nothing fundamental.And the same goes for function attributes. Most are just small compiler hints. [[nodiscard]] is the only one I regularly use. Can you tell me how they revolutionized the language for you?
