Shit, have I been misinterpreting “Bicycle” this whole time?

Damn it Bobby

Oh shit, I hadn’t thought of that! That would be more accessible to the uninitiated, which is his thing.

That makes sense. Might’ve just been an accidental swap. Tweets aren’t peer reviewed.

lol fair

Also it’s interesting that NDT orients his EM spectrum by wavelength rather than frequency, such that “above red” and “below UV” falls outside the visible range. Is ascending wavelength the convention in astrophysics?

Wasn’t Data “fully functional” and “anatomically correct?”

Yeah XR and Apple fans, and futurist types in general, are sometimes a bit hyperbolic.

I’m not immune of course. I work with it for research, which requires some notion of potential, but that also means being aware of current limitations.

That makes sense. I suppose that’s what plate was for?

Anecdotal but a kitchen I worked at used it for shucking oysters, i.e. specifically to prevent puncture of skin.

Not among them, just wanted to add that early-model platform HMDs have often functioned as dev kits, one way or another, and it’s reflected in the enterprise-R&D price point.

For example the HL1 and HL2 were similarly priced. Rift and quest sets were exceptions only because they were preceded by the OG DK1 and DK2 headsets prior to buyout.

Basically these pricy early-model headsets typically aren’t aimed at the average consumer.

Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.

As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.
