I’ve been fiddling around with ALVR for two weeks now and couldn’t get it to run decent at all, with or without a cable. I’m running a Ryzen 9, 7800XT, and 64GB ram.

I tried WiVRn yesterday and it just works. I’ve tested Moss, AC Evo, Competizione, Beat Saber, Dirt Rally 2.0, HL: Alyx, Air Car, all of them run smooth as butter on 150%, 120hz. Except for AC Evo, but that game is still in early access so probably not quite optimized yet.

Thing is, having to run a startup script to “remove” it means it’s not being removed. It’s being hindered at each boot.

Fighting against copilot has been a struggle as Microsoft consistently tries to inject it into every single application they can during updates.

We deal with very restrictive international regulations and the fact that they have not simple made a “fuck off” check box is going to get them into a boiling pot once the data they are scraping after ever update that reactively needs to be remediated gets added to their stupid “ai” and is able to be accessed.

Microsoft needs to get their shit together and provide and opt-in during OS install (corporate or not). A large banner should be displayed over the whole screen for 10 seconds “MICROSOFT IS TAKING ALL OF YOUR DATA AND SHOVING IT INTO A DATABASE THAT CAN POTENTIALLY BE ACCESSED BY ANYONE, AND THIS INCLUDES INFORMATION RESTRICTED BY INTERNATIONAL LAW, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS AND ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER” so that and users know that they are being sold and not an owner of what they are paying for.

Willing to bet that they get more ad revenue from “adult ad’s” than they do children’s ad’s and they are banking on that happening so they are entertaining the idea to see if it works out.

Even with the loss of underage content creators, this will just drive users to other channels and give them free reign to show whatever ad’s they wasnt.

That top piece of chicken looks mildly phallic lol.

Onshape is one that I recently learned about.

I normally use SolidWorks but its annoying just because I need to switch over to my windows install any time I want to use it.

Onshape is similar to SolidWorks and is intuitive. Browser based and much more powerful than TinkerCAD. Also has a free license. The only stipulation is that anything you create there is considered open source.
