@Garmin this bug exists for a long time. Please fix. I keep being late because watch doesn't do it's primary function properly #garmin #vivoactive5

@bchexplorer @chrissinator333 @HumansNoContext

@chrissinator333 @HumansNoContext its a far stretch saying its based on Linux.. Yes it run Linux.. to just run a JVM (Java virtual machine). That is mainly it.. Android is just Java.

Why you should never buy an Android

@VladimirZemun Ne znam odakle vam da je Linux dostigao 11%. I dalje ima malo preko 3%, deljeno između 1000 distros. Nikad neće postati značajan jer ga USA kompanije nikad neće preuzeti. Zašto?Skupo da se pređe sa Windows, pola enterprise softvera ne radi na Linuxu, programere ne interesuje, itd

Od uvođenja Windowsa 11 su Linux operativni sistemi sa skromnih ≈3% korisnika prešli na 11,4%, i raste ! Taj trend nije samo kod fizičkih lica, već i kod pravnih ali i državnih (grad Minhen i mnogi drugi, 🇨🇵 žandarmerija, itd) Da li se to svet oslobađa monopola i špijuniranja? Kao laik pitam stručnjake, šta u praksi dobijam/gubim prelaskom na Linux, i da li se gubi šta u kvalitetu rada, da li su svi programi kompabilni (blender, video editori, itd)?

@bryan_johnson @helios_brah That sounds like no sun exposure = lone sedentary lifestyle VS active lifestyle wift friends = sun exposure. Could explain life extension better than just sun exposure

This study is in Sweden, where people barely get any sun, the sunny season is short, and it’s it often cloudy even in summer. In this case, getting uncontrolled sun exposure in Sweden might have more benefits than risks. In that low-UV context, the survival benefit outweighed a small rise in skin cancer deaths. So much so that strict sun avoidance looked as risky as smoking. It is different in California, Italy, or any other sunny place. I love the sun. But it's not free. It's a trade-off of age-related skin damage. Each person can choose their trade off space according to their preferences.

Ironic. Because sun avoidance was a risk to mortality on the same level of cigarette smoking in this Swedish study with pretty exceptionally good data quality:

@hubermanlab I'm from Europe and lived in countries there. No water fluoridation and is difficult to even find toothpaste with fluoride. Is there a research that Europeans have bad teeth? My grandfather is 101 and until recently had his teeth. He lives in Croatia, with no fluoride in water.

Drinking fluoride and brushing your teeth with it are two different things. Just saying.

@CezaryXR @Egon_the_Dog @afoxdesign I don't know if they actually use two cameras as those have different focal length, but even if they do, at 1cm intercultural distance, there has to be a lot of improvisation to make the effect look decent. I've noticed that on portraits, faces look stretched in 3d

@Egon_the_Dog @3dguy @afoxdesign He probably means (though I’m not sure) that the cameras on the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 are too close to create a strong depth effect. From my experience with the 15 Pro, there is some 3D effect, but it’s much less pronounced compared to what the Beam Pro or Vision Pro can capture.

I just noticed the Spatial Video/Photo update in iOS 18.1 👌 ..is there any way to view the Spatial photos on a Quest 3?

@Egon_the_Dog @afoxdesign For proper 3D you need two cameras, one camera per eye at about 64mm apart. Read on stereoscopic 3D. IPhone fakes it, probably through depth camera and some AI processing. Plus the field of view is small compared to even old 3D cameras

@3dguy @afoxdesign Faked? What do you mean? The footage is true 3d, right? Asking because I'm thinking about getting iPhone 16 just for spatial photos/videos.

@afoxdesign Quest pro had that drawing nib you can put into controller to make it into a stylus for VR, never even tried it. Quest 3 has that new Lenovo stylus... Never tried it and pretty sure nobody is using it. That all sounds exciting as an idea, but people don't really want to use it

I still think a Magic Trackpad with Apple Pencil support would be a useful addition to Vision Pro

@concept_central In work in college, a masters program for computer arts. Every year we have less and less students using Macs. They are good only for audio production, and for everything else, Windows workstations are kings despite Windows getting worse.

The best value computers in the world right now are all Macs. What a time to be alive

@RobertJALA Fallout4VR is pretty good with zero mods

Imagine being so out of touch that you think releasing games "also" on VR is even possible. A game must be built from the ground up for VR or it's gonna be a garbage VR game.

@mark_k @OpenAI Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you can't copyright a circle

If this is indeed the new @OpenAI logo... I gotta say I like it. Super clean and elegant. Much better than the old one.

@afoxdesign The "computing part" is 30g, completely insignificant for both weight and thickness. You can attach vision pro battery to the back of headset and you already have that

Imagining a VR/MR headset with a battery/compute puck that can be part of the headset when gaming/exercising OR be tethered and pocketed when working or watching a movie

@cixliv Probably the same secret sauce in cyber taxi

Just in case you need further proof that the Tesla robots were operated by dudes in VR.

@iBrews Is there a teardown? The actual motherboard with cpu is probably tiny 50g board, so offloading it woild save 1/10th of size and weight

Apple Vision Pro vs Meta Ray-bans It’s easy to forget how small the actual Vision Pro computer is. Imagine if they move some of that compute to the battery pack, like Magic Leap. Already way closer to Orion.

@Kisato6565 @UploadVR It was 2017, the alternatives were rift with clunky cameras, and vive with resolution of a potato and a huge squeaky heavy vizor

@UploadVR I'm pretty sure the WMR reference design used dual 2.89-inch LCD displays with 1440 x 1440 per-panel in a fixed IPD. God those panels were so horrible, they had near-no colour, dull looking, and then combined with the bad Fresnels, it was... definitely something.

Windows MR headsets no longer function at all with Windows 11 24H2. If you own one and want to keep using it, do not install the update: uploadvr.com/windows-11-24h…

@ChShersh Especially Windows. I found a 15 year old laptop and scrolling through explorer files list, opening menus, restoring windows... Everything is faster than $4K laptop I use today

Computers have insanely better CPUs and much more RAM nowadays, yet they feel slower than 20 years ago. I used to think it happens because computers do more useful work. Turns out, better hardware is more forgiving to crappy coding practices.

@ID_AA_Carmack OK but why hollow facial interface at all @Azadux? Halo head mounts to the same thing without anything on the face. Using this with Bobo VR for years, just removing the face cushion completely when working in AR

This is a good option — there is a bimodal distribution of people that want complete immersion with no light leaks vs people that want situational awareness.

@ronawang I don't belive this! If anyone there worked 15hr weeks, #Windows wouldn't be such garbage

talking to my friend who works at microsoft & apparently he works 15-20 hr weeks & plays league the rest of the time & gets paid $300k for it

@UploadVR Only 1.1cm thicker despite Fresnel lenses, and same weight. That's better than I expected

BREAKING: Meta just officially announced Quest 3S. Starting at $300, it features fresnel lenses, the XR2 Gen 2 chipset, mixed reality, and comes with controllers. Details here: uploadvr.com/meta-quest-3s-…
