Will it work the same only for users who use banking apps for ideal, or also for users who use their banking websites to pay with ideal? It's a rhetorical question, right now people can only give their opinion what their statements mea

You'd think that basic infrastructure such as payment systems had higher standards than just "most" people having access to it. It's fine as long as we have alternatives, but if online shops were to start to phase out SE

It's not the same system. iDEAL supports banks to implement payment in their online banking websites, while Wero is Google/Apple ecosystem exclusive.

I feel the same but I'm starting to think that EPI is right to not care. Nobody from any tech media seems to be pointing out the Google/Apple smartphone dependency, let alone ask anyone at EPI about it. If they do, at least they&#

Lots of hospitals don't even serve healthy food in any sense, so expecting a good coverage of dietary options is optimistic... But to answer the question in a real way: Veganism is often regarded as just a dietary choice like any other

I would not recommend OSVR hardware at this time, but the effort for free software XR is still alive. With the recent provisional release of the OpenXR standard we at Collabora started making the code for our OpenXR runtime "Monado&quo

With AMD GPUs the "direct mode" implementation is not quite ready, so when doing stuff with SteamVR it's a very good idea to disable compositing. Except then with firefox 55 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_b

Perhaps what I said was ambiguous. The error message is from the OpenVR support. The OSVR support wouldn't have such an error message because the rendering support wasn't implemented in the first place. I understand the reluctance

Have you tried it? It spams "[GFX1]: SharedSurfaceType::Basic not supported for WebVR" to the console and doesn't send any frames to the SteamVR compositor. And as I understand it, the OSVR implementation never even bothered
