No, most of the development of VR hardware will be improving the screen resolution, head/body tracking, latency issues, and bringing costs down.

I think his point was 'future versions are going to be easier to use and look way cooler compared to those dorky things' which, yeah, I hope so.

Yeah, the lame-stream media makes up its news whole-cloth, top to bottom. Nothing in the WaPo or NY Times is true, not a single word.

I've said it before, if your basement is so full of deadly spiders that you need to keep around some less-deadly spiders to thin their ranks a little bit it might be about time to get back on the real-estate market

The pro-spider sentiment on the Internet is super weird, but it's weirdest when they live in an area like the northeastern US or Canada where there are literally no insects around that are bad enough that spiders are an improvement on them. When people start saying things like "yeah I like having tarantulas around because they fend off all the watermelon-sized cockroaches that are always getting into my baking flour" I just have to go "welp I cannot possibly relate to your life"

fake-edit: "Brown recluses are the best, without them I'd have marauding orcs in my breakfast cereal all the time"

Even the officer who shot them doesn't know why he did it, so we can't assume it was because of institutionalized racism.

I genuinely wish nothing but the worst things on the Red Panels guy. That's his name, since he's got such courage of convictions that he posts his bigoted nonsense anonymously.

Also worth noting: the people who did that thing are all in jail and will be staying there for a long time. BLM tends to care about people who don't go to jail for their crimes.

Yes, but they're black, and therefore they probably selfishly think that their lives matter. Sad!
