Can we appreciate the beautiful 3D printed set? Lots of time must’ve gone into modeling and printing that!
Ah, great choice! I use the same model for my NAS. Anyway the N100 is really powerful for this task, and should have enough spare power to allow experimentation with different addons. Plex likes the intel chip and uses it for transcoding, if you want to do that.
In theory yes. The Mac version is just a remote desktop solution, no VR so a game like Civ where you can do everything with the mouse should be doable. Not sure if using a gamepad connected to the headset would work as that’s a few extra layers of complexity… but not a real concern for Civ, am I right? XD
Yes! ALVR works, but the entirety of the settings in Virtual Desktop is reachable from the device itself, no need to remove it to change the those that don’t require a restart.
Oh boy, Quantum Leap! 🎙️Volaree…
In a totally unrelated note, https://msty.app/ is extremely easy to use and runs the LLM locally. Good choices are Llama 3.2; Granite; Deepseek r1; Dolphin 3… can run on Nvidia, Apple and cpu. They say AMD too and know how to since November but it’s not working. Not as friendly but https://lmstudio.ai/ runs on just about any hardware.
I have Zigbee stuff. Here’s what I like about that: they bridge between each other (if they’re powered rather than battery operated) and that extends the range. The range can be great to begin with! They’re not on my network, adding confusion or load on the access points, plus they can’t phone home… all local. Then there’s smart switches, and I’m going to point out that without WiFi they can’t be controlled, but Zigbee? Sure, I can easily power cycle my router and access points with Zigbee smart plugs! In fact I have an automation to do that daily. Finally, if something is WiFi you can’t know in advance if it’s cloud based or not, and regardless of that it’s a potentially unsafe device that is connected to the internet. Low power, but botnets work with numbers rather than power.
Opinion: if you go in chronological order, the age and quality will progress nicely, rather than jumping all around if you start with one then go back and do that sort of thing.
When I got my current printer I considered a Mini… thankfully it was too bulky to replace the MonoPrice Select Mini, and I ended up replacing that and the Ender 3 with a Sovol SV07 Plus. Looks like it was a lucky choice!
Looking into it. I’m happy with ALVR, but I didn’t see any reason not to check out alternatives :)
Yeah, Nvidia and Linux drivers are a bad combo. I’ve been pretty much using GeForce since the first one, because notoriously the ATI/AMD drivers were not great. Then I switched to Linux and surprise! Sometimes when they update they’re so bad the entire OS stutters. Needless to say, I have an AMD one now… (and can vouch for ALVR! Not as polished as Virtual Desktop, but works great)
That, or it’ll stay because they don’t see why other companies should use their tech to harvest data for themselves, while Google gets nothing.
Care to repeat that, laddie?
Niko, my cousin! Wanna go bowling?
As an extra to all that’s being said so far, a food safe material doesn’t mean it has a food safe pigment in it. To be honest, if all you’re going to put into the prints are packaged items (say the tea bags) then meh, not much of a big deal IMO.
Close the iris!
This reminds me that it’s a new month, and time for a backup. Thanks!
Honestly? Research. It might not make sense here and now, but it might help something more meaningful down the line.
Or vr porn lmao
That’s an incredibly fun game. I had the Oculus Go version, the one for the Quest 2 was different and I bought it again. Now it’s getting on Steam? Maybe I’ll wait for a sale as it’d be the third version I buy, but….
Monkey beer island of green and fight!
