mineral oil coolant

noooo
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
mineral oil submerged builds sound so neat but like what about hotspots and god forbid you need to change something
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
im just gonna get a beeg high quality air cooler and a bunch of fans and see how it goes if its too hot i might pull the trigger on a big AIO

And honestly a massive flex

i wonder if anyone has ever built a gold radiator i can only imagine it would cost like 100k at least, i haven't done the math probably some Saudi prince has commissioned one

Man I got invited out for dinner by the coworkers. and they're fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Good people. But fuck... we're just talking about.. Their kids. The carpet in the new office building. Shit like that. that's what I get for attempting to be more social.

oops accidental enter >>1088163 would you get a rin tat or tats
Anno
a tattoo meme I think would be funny would be getting someone from one of the yakuza games on your back and Leviticus 19:28 underneath for that little bit of edge
Well, it depends on your definition of "good." At the very least, it would be a conversation piece

VR for dogs supercanine telepresence security robots
Anno
Could dogs even comprehend VR I think their instinctual reliance on their sense of smell would override what they're seeing, if they can even understand that they're seeing something

>>1088174 VR could do some adaptive modular output that reads in a signal source from dogbrain so the visual environment incorporates the actual smell environment

I got these cute little anime postcards from mandarake, and decided to send them out to some internet and long distance friends. I had an awkward situation where I forgot someone's address I should have known, so I asked their roommate. I didn't want their roommate to feel left out so I said "I was gonna send a postcard to the two of you" When they told me the address they said "you can send both of them here thanks!" ... I meant I'd send A post card for both of you! Now I have to write two! I don't know what to write!
Hopefully they don't use doushio or I'll be super embarrassed.
Anno
Well you're lucky that not many people use Doushio in the first place
Anno
Also I think clarifying in a follow up that you'd only be sending one postcard is fine Just say something like "I only have a few postcards, is it okay if I write one for the both of you?"
no one cared who I was until I put on the Dysontm facemask

im de-beaning rn except I just realised I rubbed a coffee exfoliating scrub on just then i wonder if caffeine can be absorbed that way through the skin

I've been using chatgpt as an ai assistant lately. Like, "what are some other words for x" and stuff. It's crazy how helpful it is. I don't quite trust it with facts, so I still use other sources, but for assisting it's great. Future is crazy.

They finally confirmed aliens in the US By "they" I mean a guy who's going to write a book and make fat stacks in a year's time And by confirmed I mean "claimed"
Friends birthday. We went out to dinner at this fancy korean place. amazing food. Some of the best stuff I've ever eaten. Expensive af though.
only real downside: we split the bill evenly between us and I didn't order any cocktails but you know, you don't want to look like a cheapskate so wtvr. Didn't want to ruin the mood by saying anything. ... not really fair though if you think about it. those things cost like $20 a pop and some people had multiple.
But still. That's a minor observation. Great evening. Nice to see old friends again. Check in on how they're doing.
New Diablo looks pretty fun shame i don't have anybody to play it with.
Anno
I never played the earlier Diablo games, so I don't really have any attachment to the genre It kinda seems like the kind of game you can play with your own goals in mind though? Like you basically play RuneScape as a singleplayer experience How would you playing Diablo IV be any different

I really love how proud Elon and Desantis were about that presidential announcement they did on twitter cause it got so many listeners, but when AOC played amogus with a bunch of fucking communists and a sentient egg, her viewership eclipsed it

lol the presidential announcement where they weren't paying for their Redis server bill and it flaked out
they shoulda just run their Redis on their local server like i do and then run out of RAM at the crucial moment

i forgor that NL was in that gamr thats crazy along with Jagmeet so much canadian rep
>>1088326 >there aren't even going to be controllers How the hell are they gonna sell these things? It's a toy without controllers for the toy Forget the price, what fucking use case exists for this lmao
S C
I mean if it was less chunky I could see it as like, a new type of phone basically, and I can see the use case for that But like This is not that, yet
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
what do you mean they have eye trackers its better than a mouse even
Yeah but literally what is there to do with a VR headset other than video games? I guess it can be useful for 3d modeling and stuff?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
3d modelling yea games based on vision, hand motions and small hand gestures you could easily implement >>>/watch?v=irKF1agbHrk hell i think their couch presentation was a direct reference to that scene
i have some ideas for coding based on spatial representations
you could hold a pen in your hand and have a harry potter spell casting game
S C
being able to watch TV or movies on it is also pretty cool I guess
But man, it's the kinda stuff I could justify for a set at like $1000 maybe, and that's generous For professional use like 3d modeling or whatever I can see it though, but that's a relatively small market and unlikely to get anywhere in quite some time I mean shit, there isn't even software for that yet
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
right so they're gonna sell the pro version to programmers and get them to build the ecosystem
I guess so Though I'd expect google is gonna show up in a few years like "we partnered with samsung, announcing the Galaxy Vision pro, 800 bucks" and it does basically all the same shit, but it's android so you can go fucking crazy with it
On the assumption it doesn't flop, that is Which honestly I think it will
S C
I do WANT it though, it is legitimately cool as fuck
S C
I mean the quest 2 is cheap as fuck, and while it's not actually powerful or anything, it's WAY cheaper than practically everything else on the market, and you can just... literally you can just wifi it into your desktop computer for computing power and your VR experience is only limited by what your computer can run
S C
If they pull something like that with this, where it's like "power wise, this thing sucks big ass, but you CAN just run it through your PC over wifi" they can really crank down the price, and who the fuck is out there looking at these things as something to own without have ing a computer, you know?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
nah there's no way it flops imo it's gonna be the new status symbol for first class airplane passengers all watchin movies and talking to their AI waifus and husbandos face to face
Well, I am kind of a pessimist overall I guess I just don't really see it Though they do expect the price to come down, and at that point I can definitely see it cause I mean, it is absurdly cool and seems like the best headset by far in practically every category that's been made so far From just how it looks to feel wearing, to the specs to the supposedly insane eye tracking The eye tracking is actually huge too cause the single worst part of hand tracking in my own set is that "clicking" something is moving the cursor
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah i mean as long as they find a killer usecase that isn't just making slide decks and spreadsheets with your face they'll do well
S C
I do think the eye tracking will be really hard to adjust to for stuff like modeling though Like just as a random scenario, if you're adjusting the size of something, you wanna move a slider AND look at the object, you know?
But maybe the hand tracking is also so good, you can confidently and accurately "slide" that option with a hand motion without big hiccups I imagine hand tracking has also gotten insane in this fucking thing, it seems overall extremely competent
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah if t he hand tracking is precise then like, if you could just look at a vertex, pinch, move your hand a bit, and release, and it moved precisely with no lag, that would be insane
S C
I do find it weird to not even intend to make controllers though You're basically just keeping a lot of people unable to use it as a result, for seemingly no good reason
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the handless population?
S C
people with hand coordination or usage skills in general I mean I guess it's a relatively small population, and they tend to not be the wealthiest, so maybe Apple just considers it fine to lose out on them >>1088348 Lots of the people I met on vrchat were using the headset and the controllers cause it actually made it possible to socialize in a "face to face" type way, despite their hands being fucked A controller doesn't care if you're a bit shaky, after all
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
those people aren't gonna be good with a thumbstick anyway! what's more intuitive than moving a finger around
idk it all depends on how tight the feedback loop is will only be able to tell when it comes out
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
none of this seems inherently aided by the controller tho apple is pretty good at adding all sorts of accessibility modes anyway you could easily imagine a motion smoothing filter for body language
i wonder if the headset does full body pose estimation or just hands for now
S C
I mean the hand tracking could address it, I guess We'll have to see
S C
holy shit if it's able to extrapolate your full body pose with the built in cameras, then VRchat furries are going to buy out their whole warehouse day1 3500 is suddenly cheap if it can do that
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yaya probably not in V1 but i'm sure its coming they put two high powered chips in the headset for a reason
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
they're already scanning your head and face shape to generate a 3d talking model of your head in real time avatars are around the corner
S C
I'm not interested if I can't be the vrchat cat girl
they already have the holographic face reprojection display on the front of the device how long until snapchat filter API >>1088356 no it's some kind of re-rendering a pure camera feed would look ass
S C
Isn't that lterally just a camera feed though?
S C
dude what the fuck is apple DOING? WHAT WERE THEY COOKING?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i know they're fuckin goin full minority report on this shit
but really its just like their usual play watch vive and meta come out with dorky ass headsets where you can't even make eye contact with people in the same room and get made fun of
spend 10 years making a socially acceptable version
I generally don't respect apple, but I have to respect that they, much like Nintendo, will just go fucking balls out and Make A Thing that is fucking... just out of nowhere the most insane thing I mean they were the ones who brought us the smartphone, even if at this point I think you're kind of dumb if you're using an apple phone when you COULD be using an android
S C
marketing wise on this though, I think they should have dropped the VR term from the marketing material Because this isn't just like, a VR headset It's something else, it's just shaped the same
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
they called it AR
S C
yeah but I'm saying I think they should have ONLY called it AR Like, just left the VR bit out Even if it can do that too, it makes it come off as a VR set that can do AR as like a bonus, you know?
S C
And considering how much more advanced it is, just having the clear distinction would be good
But I'm not a marketing person, so what do I know, I just think it'd overall be a better message to get people to give it a closer look
>>1088365 Usually we get to make fun of the UK because they can't handle winters, but now they're conching out at 30C? The absolute state of the British
>>1088369 Good god those are huge, or at least they look comically large But they're not THAT much larger than the fans on the front of my case ...those are behind a door and dusty AS FUCK, but still, they're almost that large, just scaled down because there's a little air filter thing at the top
>>1088378 No they're literally in the front, behind a door, they blow air out the front I'm p sure Though, admittedly, I should be cleaning the back fans and internals more regularly than I do (at all)
