I picked up the Viture Luma Cyberpunk edition for like $550 USD, they’re sold out now but so far I think they’re okay. They definitely don’t fully live up to the hype but that’s part of being an early adopter in the enthusiast space I guess. The app kinda sucks and it’s seriously limited, so if you’re looking for that 3DoF or lightweight use on the 180VR you’ll be out of luck there. The immersive 3d is a neat party trick and seems to work well enough. I like that function for showing off videos that I’ve taken while traveling or at work. They have built in diopters so you can get the focus right while you’re using them as a follow screen. For watching movies or playing games on your tablet while traveling, I think they’ll be hard to beat. They have apps for android, windows, ios, and mac. I haven’t tried them on PC yet but I’m hoping the pc app is far more flushed out. So far, comfort is pretty good and it seems like they’ll be okay for burning a few hours. I also work in a remote location with frequent weather days, so having a private method of watching big screen content in my cabin was a big selling point for me.
Overall, neat little device, but it’s definitely quite early in the product development cycle and I’m excited to see what the next few years hold.
Sorry for the incoherent bits and poor formatting, I’m actively falling asleep while typing this out. I’ll be more than happy to answer any additional follow-up questions you may have when I’m fully awake.
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 1 week ago:
I find that ironic because Massachusetts drivers and New Jersey drives are the worst drivers I’ve ever seen. On the East Coast, it’s almost guaranteed that the car overtaking you doing 30 over the speed limit is going to be from one of those two states.

Well, my glasses don’t give off bluetooth signal but I’m afraid I’ll end up caught in the crossfire with my XR glasses on trains and planes. I travel for work so it’s nice to have a big screen to watch media on when I’m traveling for 20+ hours.

Implying he would use lotion instead of lube. Fucking amateurs. If you’re a frequent wanker and you haven’t graduated to real fuckin lube then you’re a bit of a joke.

Welp, that sucks. I’m not switching to T-Mobile. I’ve seen their infrastructure up close and personal after working on mixed carrier cell towers for years and that shit is absolutely third world by comparison.

I believe it’s a post from a dude in xitter named Soren Iverson, he does posts like this all the time. Basically just black mirror-esque tech site updates.

- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 4 months ago:
The widget will appear by default on the fridges as part of the software update. However, Samsung is giving users the option to turn off ads. To do this, go to the Settings page on the fridge, scroll to Advertisements, select it, and you’ll be taken to a screen where you can toggle off ads.
This will remove the widget entirely. If you think you might actually like the widget’s other features (calendar, weather, and news), you can “X” out a particular ad, and it won’t pop up again. But then you’ll get another ad.

it’s okay, let them use ø in to, and then ask them to pronounce it. they’ll reallllly struggle to get it. maybe even try to have them say rødgrøn med fløde to see them really suffer pronouncing something.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 4 months ago:
yeah that’s definitely going to be a bit higher spec than my Wilderness lmao. The Outback will maintain lane and do centering but does not like even moderate turns, roads with questionable paint, or gusty conditions. It’s great for highway use and it definitely won’t pass other cars for me, but it will take me pretty far off the beaten path as long as I’m not trying to follow a jeep. Hell yeah, sounds like we’ve both got solid cars that fit our needs.

let alone Christmas, gas stations only close in the event of large scale riots in my experience. I’ve been forced to work overnight in a blizzard that dropped three feet of snow. I had one customer all night, he was a plow driver coming in for a few energy drinks.
