And if you have a 3D printer, you can make your own pieces and share them with others.

I really wish that an affordable desktop chip fab was a thing. Maybe with graphene semiconductors it could be feasible.

Curious from your perspective what you’d like to see. From mine, Viture and Xreal are nearly perfect, with the exception of Xreal failing to be supportive of open APIs.

That’s what they were SO close to getting. Solutions like Xreal Air and Viture are just much more comfortable and less isolating.

Don’t forget Yitzhak Rabin. He worked towards peace while prime minister. Which is why Netanyahu and Likud marched calling for his death, almost certainly inspiring or at least encouraging Rabin’s assassination.

That’s not to say bikes don’t have any safety at all… there is R&D that goes into making them safe in a collision… as safe as they can be.

Yup. I survived a high-side collision after being sideswiped by an SUV. Thanks to modern safety gear, I only had minor injuries with little long-term beyond an ankle to lets me sense slight changes in atmospheric pressure.

Yeah… Having ads in an app for FOSS software automatically makes it shit-tier for me. Even if they are blocked. I just really hate ads though.

I have a first gen pair of Airs that I absolutely love, except for the lack of open-ness. I think that I’ll have to try dumping the firmware and writing my own at some point - likely when I have to replace the frames (have had to CA glue and tape the right arm three times now; I’m rough on my electronics). The teardowns that I’ve seen show that they contain almost entirely common off-the-shelf components (MCU, IMU, I/O expander, etc), so, shouldn’t be too bad to implement via Arduino or Rust.

The thing that drives me most crazy though is the lack of forethought on the Beam. It does it’s job great but they didn’t bother to have a dedicated power-in or support high enough wattage to run it off of external power. It’s absolutely maddening to have to recharge it 3/4 of the way through work. Think I’ll be modifying it to add a USB-PD input for power.

Amateurs. I beat mine 14 weeks per day.

Here’s some extra fun: there’s a decent chance that you only need a cable with JST or DuPont connectors. I’ve seen a fair number of laptop motherboards with unused SPI headers/connectors just hanging out. My understanding being that they’re for possible accessories or, literally for flashing/debugging the bios.

Far Right is now the first party in France and nobody has a clue on how to get them down bar them completely failing at ruling.

Is this another case of doing like the neoliberals do over in the States, trying everything but measures that would actually help the populace instead of funneling their money into wealthy people’s pockets?

Apparently, Viture has been much more FOSS friendly. Xreal really wants people in their ecosystem and have as of yet refused to provide documentation or open API, though there’s been a good deal of success with reverse engineering.

To add to this Ardour may be worth a look for DAW. I haven’t touched it in a while but recall it being rather nice.

Almost definitely.

If you have a penis, you should be able to use tools competently and perform basic maintenance and repairs.

I don’t think a penis is required. I personally think that every human being should know basic maintenance and repair skills.

As much as I hate sales and marketing, salespeople are human beings trying to get by too. It’s another case of worker on worker violence that doesn’t touch the root cause.

Oh FFS. Hadn’t realized that implication yet. I fucking hate SEO internet polluters.

I suppose on the bright side maybe, between this and the garbage showing from their AI search, they’ll actually dedicate the necessary resources to make their search usable.

Seems like all hospitals and medical providers would need to avoid the OS in order to remain in compliance with HIPAA.

“Uplifting” intelligent species through selective breeding and/or other techniques. Impractical? Yes. Probably not a good idea? You bet. However, I would really like for humanity to have sentient company.

If genuinely disturbing, therapy can help.

Summarizing is something that it does very well. Still not 100% but, when using RAG and telling it “don’t make shit up” can result in pretty good compute efficiency and results.
