  1. Very likely too, but the hash.com Mails might be in your spam too (or even worth not being delievered to some mailboxes at all).
    Especially hotmail and some others are very picky about automated e-mail messages. I could explain it indepth, but it is a pretty extensive topic.

    Not to my knowledge.

    In the past, AMD updated drivers automatically and I haven't seen a new one since this issue started last fall.

    Please review the attached video and let me know if I've missed anything.

    Actually there were new once. Click on Start and just start typing "AMD Software: Adrenaline edition". When it started, on "Home" at the upper right corner you can see if there is a new one out. Current version is 23.7.2 publish End of July 2023.

    I am pretty sure it will not make a difference, but anyway: Updating a driver might help anyway.

  3. If it worked in v19, I am pretty sure it should work in v19.5 too... but Steffen needs to shine on that... maybe something changed or it is a bug hindering from doing what it should.

    I'm reminded of a Dennis Miller bit:   "the day some retired iron worker can put on a headset and have a completely believable experience where he is banging Claudia Schiffer, is the day the human race goes extinct"  

    Assuming they can get the price down to $300 or so, I imagine that if this provides a superior experience to other VR headsets, that people will get it even without fully immersive VR like the Star Trek Holodeck.  I've tired a few of the current headsets with a climbing type game, and the experience was close enough to "real" to give me a sensation of vertigo.

    Yes, some of those games even trigger my fear of heights ;).
    See: "The climb" is one of those.

    I don't think the public expects the Holodeck, they know that's impossible. But these various VR goggles will have to present some experience nearly as compelling as that to lure the general public into making a habit of wearing these and paying a premium fee for it.

    Planes were introduced and proved their use long before The Enterprise so they never had that comparison problem. Planes won market acceptance by offering a clearly faster alternative to something people were sick of... train and bus travel.

    VR goggles are a superior replacement for... what? What essential activity?  I'm not sure what that is yet. None of the VR uses being demoed look like such a thing.

    I can imagine valid uses for architects and car designers and military planners, etc., but that's not a mass market.

     

     

     

    The fun thing is: An AR or VR experience in a HoloDeck version would get rid of the need of a plane for many people. ;)
    On of the essential things for me is communication in a close to real expierence or at least having fun together by playing games together in a "more" real way.
    Again, I think the price is too high no matter what it does, that is out of question here... 3500 is just to much for most households to handle. The only moveable thing you might by in that price range is a car and that is of cause much more helpful.

    But I have to say that most people really enjoyed having a head set while COVID was going on and already having a scan technology so your own character could have been used would have been a great addition to that.

    It is fine to video chat, but after a while that is just talking and much less playing games or seeing and expierencing new things together.
    VR can provide that to a certain extended. The better the technology gets the closer it can come to reality, the easier it would be to use it as a subsititute. It is not the same and will very likely never be, but it more fun than just talking to a computer screen.

    I still use it for far away living friends (or to find new once) and even do a birthday party like thing each year so that people who can not visit my real one can still celebrate with me. Some can handle it better than others of cause. If they have played video games before (VR or not isnt important) they do get a long fast, if not, they are more reserved, but even my Dad (over 80 years old) can do VR and likes it for half of an hour to one hour from time to time.

    If you didn't try it out with an open mind, you might want to. It can really be fun (and of cause bad too... like anything)

    But again: 3500 Dollars kills it. It would kill anything that is more or less fun and not necessarily needed.

    When Apple introduced the iPhone and the iPad, they both did more than anyone expected, at a great price.

    These Vision Goggles maybe partially approach expectations, at a price most people won't consider paying.

    I don't think this is a case of Steve Job's "How can people know what they want if they haven't seen it yet?"

    People have "known" what VR is meant to be at least since the Star Trek "Holodeck" in the 80s. The apps that have been demonstrated for the Apple Vision don't com close to expectations and dont' seem to present any new "wow, I need that!" ideas.

    Microsoft has recently scaled down its Hololens development, perhaps sensing that the market for this won't justify the dev costs.

    I do not think that everybody is expecting a Holodeck like technology. That would be like saying "nobody is going to use a plane because we want it to be the Enterprise and traveling should be beaming like, otherwise we are not going to use it and just be very upset with everything else.

    Additionally to that: There are a lot of people today, who just did not watch Enterprise or Star Trek (not even the new movies)... they just do not know anymore.

    But to be a break through, the price is very important, and 3500 Dollars is just too high for mainstream, no matter how cool the tech might be. That is a price that nobody will accept for a product they do not absolutely need. It might be different, if we are using those types to do work with them in future (for instance remotely controlling robots or something like that... I dont know), but till that is happning, it has to be much less expensive. 200-400 dollars, upwards 500 dollars it is enthusiasts only and 3500 is only people who make a living out of it.

    But just out of curiosity: Why is VR not fun for you? Scary, not immersive enough, seems like out of touch with reality?

  7. I think it depends and that guy really sees it as something it should not be seen as.
    Why should you wear it all the time as the author indicates here?

    I don't do that with my smartphone, I don't do that with my VR headset, my Laptop or my Computer and yes I wear a smartwatch "all the time" but I am not constantly looking at it. Even if I could do that, I would not want to do that, because I am already too involved with my smartphone which I can ignore if I do not want to listen or look at it right now. This once seems to be stressful by no longer giving me spare / free time if I would wear it all the time.

    But I am a VR enthusiast for games, chat-room-worlds (RecRoom / VRChat) and things like that.
    So a headset which I can wear playing and communicating long distance with other people? Yes, that isnt new for me (doing it several time a week since years) and totally fine and being able to "make it transparent" is a good thing because that can be troublesome sometimes.

    Using it as an instruction guide helper while working? Very nice.
    Learning something with it? Could be great.
    Maybe video recording something with it while at the same time seeing the result in real life and the stream itself? Could be pretty nice too.

    But wearing it all the time or if others are around me? I wouldn't want to do that and why I should I?
    Even technically that can't be done: The battery life wouldn't let me do that anyway and nobody forces me neighter.

    The only real problem I see is the price. That is just too expensive even for enthusiast like me and for a "normal" person even more.
    And while it has a couple of nice features (scaning your head, etc.), it is not worth that, especially if I think about the hololens, which could do most of that a couple of years ago already and was in the same price range. (yes, newer technology, but not that different, that it still should cost that kind of money)

    I think it is a nice headset, if you see it as a headset and it is a bad "all day" companion.

  8. It is a little different, since you can use them as they are (inliner / rollerskates are hard to get off in that regard or go into a bus or something like that) but I think I would always think, I am just slipping at the moment and fall down. ;)

    I like everything with feels on my feet in general, but I am pretty skeptical of those "Rollkers" too.

  9. Very sad. Thank you very much for telling us about his death.
    Rest in peace my friend and may you have a great time whereever you are now.

    Condulences to the family, co-workers and everybody else who knew and loved him.

  10. That was fun :).
    Well done and thanks for the honorable mention in the credits ;).

    PS: And if you want to re-render it in a higher resolution than 480p, please let me know :).
    I have a couple of rendernodes which could help out if necessary ;).

  11. In the task manager, go to the "advanced" tab (where you can see the processes with "master64.exe" for instance, and RMBon master64.exe. Click on "associate with" (or something like that) and select the processors the software should work with.

    At least like that you should be able to put the high performance once in if that is possible. I do not own an Intel CPU, so I can't test it myself.

    I think Windows (and maybe A:M) does not recognize that rather new architecture of the Intel CPUs, where there are performance and efficiency cores.
    Maybe you can set even more up like energy saving options, etc.?

  12. I would say: Not necessary.

    There really is no important data stored with the account and as far as I can see,
    there is no problem with hacked accounts or hacking approaches. It may be a different thing for the store, but even there I do not see a real reason for it.

    If people think we really should use 2FA (and I do not see why), the worst thing I can think of would be Google Authenticator.
    Google is the biggest data seller on this planet and should not be used on websites and / or other services if not absolutely necessary. (very rarely that is the case)

    I do not know about Authy, but anything other than monopolistic companies is still a little better than the big G.

  13. Very, very true if you ask me. I think they are just putting the "best" (often visual) scenes (which are often most expensive) into the trailers which often have pretty relevant plot points in them too or which are just most interesting. But if you then go to watch the movie, you got spoilered a lot already without even knowing that sometimes.

    That is bad for movies and cinemas in the long term if you ask me.
