That’s an extremely poor choice of sponsorship for that particular video, made me laugh quite a bit

Probably was too soon to upgrade then, compared to Lemmy.world, which is still on 0.18, it’s day and night.

I‘m already using voyager. I’m pretty sure it’s not the app that’s slow, but the Lemmy server. Doesn’t matter which app you’re using.

It seems much better now, thank you :) Is it still on 0.19 or did it get reverted back to 0.18?

It’s expensive (and too expensive for me), but if you put it next to a MacBook Pro with a few upgrades it’s the same price and those get bought without thinking about it.

To become more mainstream it definitely has to be cheaper, but there’s something bothering me about how all the other prices are acceptable.

MacBooks are more of a working device and the upgrades are optional, the starting price is cheaper, I know. Still, these price points aren’t unheard of for Apple.

I think you got the target audience wrong, this isn’t a PC gaming headset. It doesn’t even have or support VR controllers.

This is more of an iPad replacement, second screen, productivity and consumption device. And it’s going to be the first one that actually has a big library of regular apps from the very start. Arguably the bigger market, not just for gamers.

That bug has been there since the release of custom icons and it’s never been fixed by Apple. Every app has that issue, it’s annoying.

I don’t see how a purely magnetic watch band attachment could work for a watch, but I guess we’ll see. Would definitely be a shame to loose band compatibility.

I was speaking in a general sense, but I’m glad you figured it all out.

Iron rebellion is definitely a game to keep an eye on. It’s still in early access, but getting closer to release and sitting in that cockpit feels amazing. Hopefully it won’t be too long until it shows up on the main store. It’s already by far the best VR mech game currently out there.

It feels noteworthy, but I don’t think anyone will care about this. Who‘s going to use the Quest as a productivity device, natively? And why?

fer0n, 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago)

Not everything has to be about privacy or Meta. The Quest isn’t a productivity platform and it’s most likely going to be a terrible experience if you were trying to use this as a PC replacement. There’s literally nothing else you can do natively on it. And even these “apps”, they’re just a browser window. It doesn’t work offline. You can’t have a notes app next to it. I don’t see this going anywhere at all.

You can pair a mouse and a keyboard afaik, but there’s nothing else there. Its not a “general purpose” platform.

Yeah the graphics look a bit muddy occasionally but they said a Quest 3 improvement is coming. And I agree with the annoyances you mentioned. The menu seems to be made for a headset where you never turn irl, the notifications only appear on one side and so does the menu. And not being able to jump down e.g. a wall you just climbed is equally annoying. There definitely is a lot of stuff in the game though.

Not sure if a Chinese company is the answer. Also they seem to be less interested in being a Quest competitor going forward and didn’t even fulfill their single promised exclusive title. There’s a decent amount of games though and it’s not Meta, so that much is true.
