No.

It's a discord bug.

A voice chat client does not need GPU access.

I'll hate on Nvida for plenty, this is on discord.

Lmao, the part that has me confused is why anyone would want to hold corporate meetings or do real work in the metaverse. Is there some killer feature here no one understands about the metaverse?

I stepped out of the world of VR when Zuckerberg stepped in...

Because Zuck has invested heavily in VR.

They keep pushing the Metaverse as some kind of alternative or new social media, but it’s flatly not. Something like VRChat is popular because it doesn’t feel corporate. It’s a creative environment where you’re free to build what you want. Metaverse on the other hand feels like a sterile corporate product that confines you.

Why would facebooks stock be down? Tencent is a Chinese company…

Zuck should stay away from any marketing. He is completely unlikeable and anything he says comes off flat no matter how much "enthusiasm" he attempts to inject. The only people I know that use VR regularly are kids younger than 16ish. None of them want anything to do with Facebook/Meta/Metaverse. I had an original Oculus DK1, so I've had some skin in the game for some time now. I knew when Palmer sold to Zuck it was over.

Always 2 years behind Samsung. 🤣

I have a coworker who is still designing in Sansar...

Good, Chromebooks are useless.

The problem is that it displays a digital photo that neither has the output quality of an lcd or oled, nor the physical permanence of a physical photo like a Polaroid. If the eink plugged in like film so the "print" could be handed out like a Polaroid, it would be more interesting.

DSLR, being a particular technology for autofocus, is entirely beside the point.

I think Zuck might have done more harm than good. He hyped it up so much that everyone’s expectations were higher than possible, and now that it’s fallen short they’re all pulling out.

It's not data that's valuable this time. A facebook account's worth $16 in cash, and you'll never make that back with advertising alone.

The true value here's the OS which allows Facebook to have a monopoly over what games are allowed on their market dominant platform.

How do you invidious a future beyond dslr? What do those experiments look like? The creative process should be appreciated for more than “did you give me something I didn’t have”

The Quest 2 is a success. It outperformed every expectation put onto it, even internally by Meta.

Of course it's still a niche device, but Meta wasn't expecting different until Quest 4 or 5 and beyond.

Mainstream. It still took longer to become ubiquitous, as only a minority of homes had them in 1992, but it had passed a 25% household adoption rate, which from what I can tell, is a figure that tends to get used for judging mainstream success.

Here's an interesting set of statistics showing the rough sales of the emerging PC industry: https://web.archive.org/web/20120606052317/http://jeremyreimer.com/postman/node/329

God damn, was it really 1992 when PCs became ubiquitous? That’s wild. Looking back at my life, I suppose I almost always had one or at least access to one. Didn’t realize I was actually alive when they really took off.

I have a kinda old power bank from them and it still works really well. It’s nice that they do a recall of a defective product. I’ve heard that they’ve been in some shady stuff lately so that’s not a good thing. But in general I’m happy of the products I bought from them even if it’s not that many products

Something to do with a big ‘Effin’ boat stuck in the Suez Canal maybe?

You should see the repair process on the S23’s. All I can say is good luck to anyone trying to repair it on their own

It's a matter of perspective. If Meta had been marketing their device as a family game console, then yeah, the Quest 2 would have been a success. The problem is that Meta was banking on VR and their particular take on the 'Metaverse' concept blasting the doors wide-open to a revolutionary new market segment in VR social media technology -- They wanted to be the kingpins running the lion's share of VR-centric social infrastructure, the way Microsoft dominates in OSes and Google dominates in web searches. To that extent, they planned for their technology to achieve widespread adoption in multiple key areas in society, such as home productivity and the work place, rather than remaining primarily leisure/recreational.

So, yeah, from the perspective of Meta's absurdly high goals of 'invent what is functionally an entirely new form of internet', the Quest 2 is a failure.

They won’t this is clickbait.
