    [quote quote=1113]If Facebook tanks I hope it doesn’t take Oculus Rift, which it obviously now owns, down with it. I want to see how the next Rift benefits from FB’s money and John Carmack’s technological insight.

    In my opinion this photo represents modern Facebook:

    I have a lot to say about it but then again I’ve never tried to manage a billion people. From this disaster niche communities will pop up (like this one) and so will the emergence of new tech because people will need a new escape. VR is perfect for that and I bet Zuck is already there waiting while this thing folds.

    Yes they are but so are knock off ink jets. I tried to buy them once and they were all detected as inauthentic and I had to throw them away! Printers cost $35, Ink Jets cost $100

    Hey everyone. I was a member back on the old forums (can’t recall my username). Glad to see some of the old names.

    I’m the opposite lol I think I have 9 cable boxes in my house. 6 just in my bar and wine/cigar room. I LOVE CABLE BILLS!

    you go big baller! 🤑🤑🤑🤑 lol f cable boxes and cable, not a fan but then again I am not a big TV watcher and genuinely don’t give a shite if I have 300 channels or 50

    thats the shit part, I only watch sports (or whatever Housewives show is on Bravo at the time) so I bet I don’t watch more than 20 total channels and I have a $200+ DTV bill. I have this sports bar theme TV wall in the basement so I can watch 5 streams at once spread across 8 TV’s down there via a Matrix switch. A couple years ago if you wanted the hockey, NFL ticket, etc I didnt have a lot of options, but now it seems like you can still get all the sports packages for all games without having a cable subscription. I just wonder how many streams you can watch of that at the same time. Like, for MLB could I watch 5 different games at once? or will it only stream to one device at a time?[/quote]

    That is a good question. In order to run 5 games at once via the MLB app you’d probably need to “cast” via Chromecast from a  web browser each stream. I think for that specific purpose you might need to keep the cable. YoutubeTV has the capacity to splice into 6 accounts at once but not from the same device.

    https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610458/vr-is-still-a-novelty-but-googles-light-field-technology-could-make-it-serious-art

    Like so much about virtual reality, that idea is still mostly a promise. The technology has yet to become popular with consumers, for many reasons—headsets are bulky, expensive, and silly-looking, and the VR experience doesn’t always look or feel all that real.

    Debevec and others working on VR see light fields as a potential solution for that last problem.

    [quote quote=1050]In the VR thread, the opening post is “echoed”, is duplicated in the second-last post in the thread.

    It looks like it was posted under my account, as if I posted it – but I didn’t.[/quote]

    That was my fault, I changed the post date so I could get it to the homepage feed – I had to make it “sticky” instead (that’s what she said)

    This is my primary tool but it does take a keen eye these days to see wtf is what. I haven’t been jacked in a lonnnnnnnng time. My kid gets hit every now and then but I am teaching him all the tricks and he GETS it. So many scams these days.

    You should see the assclowns that sign up on here and the security I have to have in place to prevent the spam scum of the earth from entering. It’s been up for what 2 weeks and I’ve have dozens of bots and idiots try to post
