    Me boarding a 777 on Friday after a very long week of business travel, a true story:

    Pilot: “Looks like we’ll get to San Jose 30 minutes ahead of schedule”

    10 minutes later…

    Pilot: “Just waiting for some paperwork before we can leave the terminal”

    30 minutes later…

    Pilot: “Sorry we can’t leave until the maintenance records are updated”.

    30 minutes later…

    Pilot: “We’re still waiting for sign-off”

    5 minutes later…

    Pilot: “By law, we have to allow passengers off the plane as it’s been over an hour at the terminal”

    I de-board looking for any other flight, but it turns out there are no seats on any other plane in this airport…

    Terminal attendant: “They have the paperwork now you can re-board if you wish”

    What would you do?

    Me: YOLO







  • I tried the Oculus 2 and liked that it gave me a very physical way to game as opposed to sitting in a chair. Unfortunately the weight on my head and sweaty headpiece were ultimately a turnoff. The glasses style devices (XReal, Viture, etc) are a much better fit for me and mine has 3DOF motion tracking so it works as mouse view in most games without requiring VR support. It’s much lighter and I can wear them for hours without the strain and sweat. Newer glasses are coming with cameras for 6DOF, hand tracking and eye-tracking is not to far off as well.

    These glasses are powered by a phone or a pc with USB DP alt mode. This gets the battery and processor off the head and makes for an un-tethered experience (with a phone).

    For all the people missing the point of this comic particularly in the U.S.: Look at who has held political and financial power for the last two hundred years, including this one. There are lots of pictures and paintings of people. Do you notice anything in common between nearly all of them besides having wealth and power? Think about the position of everyone else not fitting that description and tell us all again why you personally feel attacked and why this comic is not relevant.


  • just because they started packaging wine with their app

    Even if that’s all they did, that is more than anyone else is doing. What they really did was make nearly every game they sell easily playable without requiring you to use Windows. As byproduct, DXVK (part of Valve’s Proton) provides greater compatibility and performance for Windows users as well (Intel ARC driver and DX9 game support for example). They have salaried employees working exclusively on making this work and their development is open source for anyone to use modify and share. Epic or any other store front could freely take advantage of this work and benefit why don’t they do that instead of whining?
