“I don’t get it’s its always wild to me to see HOAs being run by the shittiest of people in your country and apparently they can do whatever they want.”

I envy your naivitivity and competence in government. That’s literally just how all leadership works here. I’m so fucking tired dawg.

Unironically yes, new families affording homes is more important than a return on investment for people who are privileged enough to own them.

Housing as an investment is fucked, and nobody but the individuals living their should own a home.

Yeah I’ll take ugly neighborhoods over predatory organizations run by nimby’s designed to keep housing prices up.

I would like to know how well iocaines spanky new redirection module works compared to Anubis.

If nothing else, to see if throwing Anubis in front of iocaine is still a worthwhile idea.

So go watch or read a review from an even semi-trusted source.

Can’t you just get a controller case for your phone?

Yeah that’s my exact issue. I’m not interested in gaming on the things built in chipset. Were getting to the point where resolutions are high enough that these can become viable monitor replacements.

Imagine the apple vision with the openness of a standard PC. Snapdragon based ARM chips get in the way of that. No standard firmware like UEFI/BIOS, no mainline GPU drivers, and most devices built on them give no way to change is signing keys like secure boot on PC or pixel devices.

They’re going to have to do a lot of work to maintain the openness a PC gives from the get-go. Is it possible? Sure. I just don’t have much hope anymore.

their desktop OS. Not any.

There is no standardardized firmware interface like UEFI or BIOS, and most device drivers for snapdragon arm chips are not available mainline.

This won’t be as open as the steamdeck unless they put a lot of work into it that I’m not sure they’re willing to do.

Its a better architecture but it has no standard firmware implementation that allows you to implement an OS across a broad spectrum of chipsets and boards from all manufacturers (like UEFI).

Sure you can make a generic arm image, but a lot of hardware drivers are not properly implemented in mainline kernel. For most hardware, such an image would be mostly useful to developers and tinkerers looking to see what’s technically possible. Unless they want to try writing/forking drivers themselves.

To pretend this will be as open and user modifiable is goofy, I kinda doubt well get official support for non-steam OS’s.

Even if we do, would we be able to change the signing key to make sure its secured from evil maid, a-la safeboot?

The interest for me isn’t at just the idea of a gaming device, but an open source friendly face-mounted general purpose computer. Like apple’s HMD without the vendor lock-in.

Also you’re right about the price, not sure where I saw $1300. My bad.

I get why they didn’t put an x86 chipset in it, but I’m still upset about it. Putting any desktop OS on your handheld is neat, but doing on your vr headset is industry changing IMO.

What really gets me is they couldn’t at least include a sensor array for preexisting steamVR tracking, especially since the controllers seem to be an a direct downgrade from knuckles/index controllers.

No one paying valve 1300 for an HMD is looking to put ease of setup over bleeding edge VR tech. If they are, make it a cheaper side product and actually compete with meta…

Edit: My bad, they didn’t announce price yet. Not sure where I saw $1300…

If it’s the right price it’d be a bit more understandable, even if it wasn’t the rumored magic HMD I wanted lol.

Yes bet so are console platforms.

Do you not clean your own eating and shitting surfaces regularly?

I mean if I’m at already someone’s house who’s got the game on I’ll watch the sweaty dudes in tights, just not for the game.

Does VLC report this? Kinda seems like the sorta thing that only works on actual players.

HD/4K video streams eat bandwidth like a motherfucker. Gonna have to find some rich hobbiests for that.

I guess someone could start a nonprofit but you’re more likely to do that for the developers themselves first.

Wouldn’t that count as a VPN, albeit one run on someone else’s machine?

No I understand the benefits of open source software but this isn’t just a feature you can code in. Without portfords to the server, a VPN, or a reverse proxy, jellyfin would have to start hosting a service.

Is it technically feasible? I guess but seems like its both out of scope and not in the interest of the developers since the last thing they want probably want to get caught in is hosting streaming relays for everyone free of charge.

I prefer a VPN for this sorta thing because its a bit more hardened.

Nginx is a good reverse proxy for my publicly available hosts.

Oh yeah no you can rent out a vps and use it as a VPN/router appliance. I’ve done that before for other projects, just figured it seemed a lil overkill here.

People are saying switch to jellyfin, which I’m all for. But you’re expecting a service which will make remote access easy like Plex ur kinda fucked.

I mean if have to set up wireguard or whatever for Jellyfin you could just do the same for Plex?

Again go to jellyfin either way, proprietary software can suck my gurl cawk, but either way you need a VPN or open ports.
