Which makes sense, but the sort of games I play in VR are not going to be supported on local play. I play a lot of flight/space/driving sims with additional controllers light flight sticks, yokes, and steering wheels.

Are you old enough to remember the retail shortages of gaming consoles when they released in the 90s? People were scalping them out of car trunks back then.

“Ultimately, I would argue that the whole community is our customer,” Flock Safety chief communications officer Josh Thomas told Atlanta News First.

I love how they cut that statement right behind showing the email from their PR manager saying that the sales conference is a "customer event and not open to the media." If everyone is your customer, shouldn't everyone be invited?

Why are you asking if your response to every example use case is "that's just a novelty"? All games are novelties in one sense or another. What are you looking for?

A couple months ago, when I posted news about the FCC approval, people were whining that it was going to start at $2K. They didn't quite hit their initial target of "less than the Index" but I still call this a win.

I use VR primarily for seated simulation games. Flight sims, racing, space... VR brings a whole new level of immersion and situational awareness that makes these sort of sims better, and makes me better at playing them.

My intended use case is 100% streaming from my PC so the fixed/low storage doesn't even bother me.

Yeah, I did a bit of lining with a gray liner pen. Mostly on the legs. There just aren't a lot of panel lines on this model. I'd actually like to go back and redo those lines because you can probably see that the paint got a little splotchy.

I think I found the loophole:

The president didn't reveal any other details, other than to add, "The only caveat I have is ​that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the ‌United States of America."

The payments (if they happen at all) will be issued in the form of a Trump Gift Card only redeemable at cooperating retailers. There will only be a few cooperating retailers, all of them controlled by Trump and his allies. It's just another money grab scheme.

One commenter was Grimmius Cattle Co. Its chief operating officer Austin Flores complained that an activist group had submitted more than 30 hours of footage of another farm to law enforcement agencies.
“This is the end goal of these surveillance campaigns: to generate enough material to file complaints, trigger investigations, and create regulatory and legal pressure against lawful agricultural operations,” Flores said in a written statement submitted on July 6. “The footage is a tool, and producers have no current airspace protection to prevent it from being gathered.”

I fail to see the part where they claim there is any substantive risk to food security. Like, yes, exactly, they are using the footage to trigger investigations. Because you're doing illegal things. Maybe stop doing the illegal things?

We used to have a cat, one of the pair that my wife and I adopted shortly after we got married, that would like to get up on my desk for attention while I was on the computer. She would snuggle up between me and the keyboard. I do miss that. The two we have now both stopped getting on my desk when they were still kittens. Though one does like to occasionally jump in my lap while I'm working.

Under the timeline sketched out to meet the September 1 deadline, there would only be four days allotted for it to go through a stage in the development process in which potential users of the system can test it out.

I work on a live service video game, where we're constantly releasing updates and new content. But our release pipeline length means new code doesn't go live until it has been under test for at least a couple months. Because if someone finds a bug, there's turnaround time to get it fixed, submitted, built, and re-tested, looking for any potential new issues that were introduced with the fix. That's for a GAME. The idea that they might implement a verification system for MILLIONS of voters across MULTIPLE STATES and only have four days to test it before going live is horrifying.
