Does the DPVR E4 support Linux?
  • It's not enough to just support SteamVR. You also need device drivers, which nobody provides for their headsets on Linux except Valve for the Index and Vive. (Oh yeah, and Oculus had Linux drivers, for the DK1 and DK2, which stopped around when they got picked up by Facebook.)

    On Linux your other choices are ALVR or whatever's supported by OpenHMD (positional tracking with OpenHMD is either experimental or missing)

  • Favourite RSS reader?
  • I like that the Android app is open source and available on F-Droid and that self hosting is an option, so I pay for premium so I don't have to deal with the hassle of self hosting while I support the developer!

  • Mobile phones and other devices to be banned from Dutch classrooms
  • Mobile phones are a disturbance, scientific research shows. We need to protect students against this.

    Wish the Guardian would have looked into this at all, researched a bit to see if the data backs this up. I couldn't find much conclusive evidence of a significant impact. For example,

  • Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content
  • Believable as in imitates the writing style, sure, but what's the point if it's factually incorrect?

    From the article:

    The company joins a growing number of media entities experimenting with the technology [...] These trials have already led to a flood of error-laden, plagiarized, and poorly written content due to badly implemented — and, some would argue, inherently unsuited AI models — that still have a strong tendency to make up facts.

    Hate on Kotaku all you want but they don't make shit up as often as AI does

  • R(ule)ocks
  • Mobile site cuts off the image at the top and bottom, though I was able to slide it up and down as needed it was somewhat awkward. I'll have to see if there's a bug report for this.

    EDIT: reported it to find it's already fixed for an upcoming release👍

  • VR on Linux - Documenting the status of VR/AR software and hardware on Linux. Seeking contributors!

    Documenting the status of VR/AR software and hardware

    Here's the repo: https://gitlab.com/vr-on-linux/VR-on-Linux

    Even if you don't have VR hardware or software, you can help by checking reports by other users on Steam/ProtonDB/etc. You can contribute by sending updated info via a comment here or a pull request there!

    I do know there's an issue with the Table of Contents not picking up VR Hardware Status and beyond, but I'm not sure how to fix it yet. Something to do with mkdocs or one of its plugins...
