The manufacturers and the marketplaces need us to buy a new thing otherwise we would just enjoy the thing that we have until the wheels fall off. TVs had to get innovative to keep fueling replacements.
CRT's still minimally existed in consumer spaces when 3D TVs were being crammed down our throats. I was grateful when the DLP versus plasma versus LCD wars were over.
But there always has to be a new product platform around the corner for businesses that are requiring endless growth will die. Consider the InstantPot as an object lesson, and then look at the absolutely ludicrous ecosystem of kitchen branded appliances that the Ninja Bullet spawned.
Those of us that bought into vr, and then bought into it again. And then again. Like it or believe in it for reasons that clearly aren't going to make us profit.
I do not anticipate any AR Revolution, after both Microsoft and Google drink deeply from that goblet and clearly lost. I don't think meta is new project in that space will be ultimately useful for anyone but perverts and con artists.
I'm increasingly skeptical of growth and Innovation for growth and Innovations sake. I kind of just want to play, now. And also I would do crimes for a refrigerator and a washing machine that was supposed to last 20+ years of continuous operation like our grandparents had.
Nobody makes their own boxes, everything you love to play with either gets designed, fabricated, or packaged in to boards, or assembled, in China.
So tired of the casual racism of "this brand good, but that brand bad, because China." I know you didn't mean something malicious by it, but we've got to do better.
I don't know if it's feasible or not, but I was going to recommend the same thing, trying to get smarttube over Waydroid, as the most comfortable big screen, remote controlled experience that is privacy first, allows channel subscriptions, and integrates SponsorBlock right out of the box.
When I did a site that didn't play nice with one of my various Mozilla Gecko/Fusion browser flavors, I try a different one.
When they all are failing, not just WaterFox, I either fire up DuckDuckGo Browser or Safari if on a Mac.
If that were to fail I probably would quit using that service.
My actual Google account isn't allowed on most of my computers anymore, since I DeGoogled, and only have it operating in very sandboxed environments like one Vivaldi browser that lives inside of a VM.
I can assure you there's a whole lot of telemetry and tracking in those. It's not "and nothing else."
Apple is the least awful about data privacy.
Owning your hardware and stack is still better for privacy.
*edit: others have bored this is still using Google hardware with only a custom launcher, not a unique firmware or os environment for data sovereignty. That Sudha, and the lettuce still remains that we need more open hardware vendors, or legislation that let's us unlock our own purchased devices to modify further. *
Most of the hate comes from Gamers Nexus, which is an extremely self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing YouTube that seems to pick fights with everyone and treats the Rampocalypse like every board partner is at fault. He is an expert at making hay.
I wish someone could give him a hair scrunchy.
I got into following the channel rather late, like, around 2017.
Linus has absolutely said some cavalier things, and his channel has a strong history if admitting their faults when they are called out.
They mostly stay in their own lane and don't go picking fights, plus as a policy they don't sue people they don't have to, even when slandered, so being as popular as they are and being as passive as they are, thsts a pretty big bulls eye on their backs.
Tl:Dr - - nothing reprehensible about the channel, just very advertiser-friendly and easy to snark on.

(I agree with you wholeheartedly, I just think people are underestimating the significance of platform subsidies from vendors that want to lock you into their walled gardens)
I mean, I sold a Vive five years ago for about $250. If you want to give up standalone gaming, and cordless, and on board speakers, and inside out tracking, and virtually all of the innovations of the last decade in this space, then I have no doubt that you can find aging hardware that still runs, at a good budget price.
Yes, tech is getting unreasonably expensive. But this product was always going to be a head above the old generations of Valve VR hardware, and I'm stoked for such a flexible piece of kit that can support streaming from my beefy pc as well as, or better than, my locked down Q3.
You spent four posts in a row arguing here. I wonder if things would have turned out differently if you learned punctuation and grammar. Are you so rude to say "skill issue" to absolute strangers in real life, or is it just reserved for people in your communities?
Two of my machines run MacOS, Two run Windows 10 LTSC IoT, and the rest are migrating to CachyOS. I'm fairly confident that those of us who have run literally every major release of Windows since Win3.x for Workgroups aren't just incompetent at desktop stuff.
If you enjoy all of the telemetry and upselling then by all means enjoy Windows 11. Don't pretend you have some secret insight over your brethren here, though, who put in the work to get free.
Virtual Desktop still works with local-only, as I understand it, and alternatively there'sUSB tether as an option.
Yes, Meta sucks, and that's why I literally made a whole new account just for my headset, and then gift purchased virtual desktop to Grant to it, and heavily restrict any of its activity on the live internet like you do.
My remarks were about how tethered VR is already available, and s******* all over a device we haven't even seen yet just because it can play PC games through translation layers as an option is just wrong. Meanwhile, I have been playing PCVR over Wi-Fi for the past literally 6 years, and I'm completely bewildered at someone with multiple Sim cockpit setups whining and complaining about Valve as if they had done something actually bad.
All of the devices still plug into his desktop. If he wants a subpar connection limiting bandwidth to the headset the option is still available.
Truth.
It low-key feels like there's an audience of gamers that think Valve is trying to gouge them or something. As if they don't know how much work valve company has put in to making games as affordable as possible.
Wait until they learn how much resource Valve put into Waydroid/Lepton, FEX and Proton, and then just gave away to the world completely gratis, as open source. In a world where our hardware has always been subsidized by whatever platform company was trying to wall us into the garden, we need to have honest and frank conversations about supply chain dynamics.
That often isn't possible with iPad folks, and I'm beginning to think my Steam account is older than some of the people flinging you downvotes out here.
If it isn't wireless, and if it isn't functional standalone, then the only option would be a tethered headset.
That already exists, get yourself a Vive or even get yourself a Quest 3 and then use the USB tethering mode (Virtual Desktop just shipped this feature, though many of us suitor argue it's inferior to a healthy WiFi 6 tether).
You, as a consumer, are well served by the existing slate of available products across the past decade..
I'm relieved to hear that you won't be buying it, that means that when I can queue for a pre-order that's one unit I'm closer to bringing home. This is a luxury item in a season of brutal Supply constraints, and I will be fortunate to be able to invest in my amusement, like this.
... For what it's worth, ARM SOC's are growing wildly powerful and I will benefit from being able to play local stuff even without tying back to my beefier PC for fullfat experiences.
I already do this when I play steam games , including 3D titles, on a handheld AYN Thor.
I'm not downvoting you. I am going to tell you that a lot of the world's troubles can be laid at the feet of the US hegemon, but that the EU and UK's recent horniness for privacy violations has nothing to do with the US populace.
I would fight just as hard against it, as I am over here trying to educate and rouse the sleeping voices here in my states.
Lemmy has the chance, the small opportunity, to be a Rally Point for building up our communities. How can you and I do that, today?
Everybody, wait till he learns abut Chat Control and that the same ghouls are lobbying for this kind of legislation worldwide. It's not JUST America, it's the underlying capitalist machinery that let's them subjugate the masses everywhere.

Right, this isn't accommodating that, but I still contend that needs to be the goal.
I dint own this device or an AppleTV, while I've owned both in the past.

Look, they have a really hard time counting to Three, alright? 🤣
After the Vive and the Index, it just took them some time to learn there's a number past two.
