That's not particularly rational given how quickly computers progress in both performance and cost, a current-gen $1k Macbook Air will run circles around your M1. You'd probably be much better off spending the same amount of money

Games like this based on an existing skill would really benefit from the ability to start at higher levels. I'm a pretty proficient typist, it'd be a lot more interesting to me if there was any risk at all of me failing.

Good? I've got gigabit symmetrical and I'd much rather stream just what I need rather than have to dedicate an entire hard drive to storing a planet I won't see 99% of. And if it replaces some of the god-awful updating proced

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues&#x2

Alright dude, you clearly just want to enjoy your $3500 toy, don't let me stop you. I love and support you, brother. Meanwhile I'll keep doing a ton of stuff on my technically inferior VR headset that the AVP can't do at all,

I'm not ignoring anything, but if my Lamborghini got out-accelerated by a Toyota I'd be upset about that, too. There's all sorts of other things to be upset about, again compared to the Quest 3. External battery pack and weig

Blatantly false. The FOV, which is one of the most critical performance characteristics of a headset, is inferior to the Quest 3. I'd _expect_ every single thing to be better if I'm paying 7x, but it just isn't.

It's VR-only but VTOL VR is incredible and I think matches what you're talking about here? I haven't played those older ones you mentioned though

We are in an absolute golden age of PC flight sims, especially with the immersion that we can get from VR, so when you say "all games" you mean "console games"

What's not open about it? I see the source, I see instructions to build from source, I see a license that seems to say I can copy and make derivative works out of it. Can you try to make a more substantive comment?

You seem to be coming at this as a member of the Android team. I'm coming at it as a user. It's not my job to make it better, but it is my job to make informed decisions over whether or not this software will screw me if I use it.

If you look at Table C-1 in parent's source, it has median post-tax household income at 65K which is a much more reasonable number. We're incredibly wealthy, a per-person median income of 19K doesn't pass the sniff test. Keep

There are fanless full-PC builds, though that would probably require you to build your own computer. Parent's overall point is definitely true though, the idea that you have to go all the way down to a Pi to get a quiet computer is lau

A mining GPU is running 24/7, the GPU of the heaviest-usage gamer will be maybe a quarter of that, with the vast majority of actual gaming use cases being far below that. Nowhere near equivalent.
