I run AdSense on a site that gets 300-500k page views p/m. Takes about £60-80 in ad revenue, but I only place one ad per page.

As someone who recently invested in their first AV receiver, surround sound setup, then navigating hacked drivers to get Dolby Atmos, DTS etc working properly on Windows, finding I can't use my Hue strips in Netflix etc because of DRM, realising Plex cannot serve HDR content, having to edit EDID data so my PC would allow 4k/120fps + VRR with my fiber optic cables... I realise that we're living in an unnecessarily complex DRM hell.

I see you say you can't get used to it on a Quest 2, so the natural progression would be to a higher pixel count headset like Pimax offerings or similar. But even then, who is to say you can get used to that after you're 1-2k invested? I don't think the jump to VR working is directly compatible with say, going from a single 19" 1080p monitor to a 2 x 32" 4k monitors in that sense. First you have to adjust to sitting with screens strapped to your face for 8-12 hours per day.

The biggest factor to me for long periods in VR is comfort, in which case I prefer using the Rift S because to me it's so ridiculously comfortable, even after trying many Quest 2 halo headbands.

Another option might be the Reverb G2 for fidelity but I can't speak for it's comfort!

I saw people verifiably 5x catching the bottom, I have seen nothing of 500x at all.

Return to monke. That is the solution.

Google use licensing models for many of their products. I'm sure they could devise a model whereby a company such as Epic pay a fee per client download of their software. It could be negotiable. That way everyone wins, and customers get user friendly access to the content they want.

Not to mention that device makers pay licence fees to Google for the privelege to run the Play Store (and other closed source benefits).

No shortage of opportunities in IoT.

I don't know if you're right or wrong, but I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

Google searches by date range will help you, since most medical searches are now completely skewed towards Covid.

I'm playing Returnal at the moment and I'm sure Buddha would have found it pretty rad.

The Saturn was a powerhouse for sprite based games, it's a console I'll keep playing as long as I'm able to buy the capacitors to repair them!

Less stuff and more sleep.

Hard to argue with any of your points, their entire concept is absurd.

I didn't see this mentioned so apologies if it has, but the latest version of Google TV has a 'dumb' mode that has no external services as an option on first setup. There are TVs releasing with Google TV (Android 12) soon.

Being a healthy weight is an excellent way to lower your chances of developing the more serious symptoms of COVID.

Your input methods comment is key. Today we can have an almost true to life virtual driving experience with peripherals like direct drive steering wheels, loadcell pedals, shifters and a motorised driving rig. It's an expensive hobby with great innovation. Until the interface problem is fixed for VR then it will be a very subpar experience compared to what's already available.

You can now extrapolate this to almost any interaction in VR; walking, flying, typing or shooting.

Until there's an input method that is able to emulate these experiences effectively, then it is pure science fiction.

Give it a break, everyone knows and understands this context of 'pimping' something.

The endless virtue signalling is so tiresome.

Same, it's the reason why I will have to partner with someone with that set of skills for my next SaaS or app.

Not true from my experience, but 'North' is a broad geographic area.

Edgelord leftist.

The header text falls off the page on mobile, I consider that a bug.

Search is dead.

I built a SaaS product, but it's too early to say if it's a valid idea yet. What I did do was find 5 companies with the same problem, and gave them free, very early access with regular calls for feedback. Interestingly, several were very precise in their requirements, and others were open to my approach and ideas. It's important not to try and implement every suggestion you're given if it doesn't feel 'right', otherwise you risk creating a product that's inflexible for everyone except the customer who asked for it. Try and find a sample of people who will give you the time of day.

It is not surprising, I prefer virtual meetings with clients because I have to deal with them less.

Random selection of books with zero relation to open source and poor synopsises provided.

Ah yes, the fact checkers have spoken.

I once ordered black pudding and received a two pack of chocolate sponge puddings. I think it was Tesco. That was genuinely funny though, and in all my experience has been good.

Also, call me a frugal jerk, but I spent about 2 years adding dots to my Gmail address to get £15 off as a new customer offer every time. It got a bit awkward when the same delivery driver had to give me the 'new customer' spiel and said he was sure he'd been here before.

You'll probably know by now, but sadly he wasn't joking.

Finding solutions in your sleep is so incredibly satisfying when it happens.
