that is some aggressive contempt of their customers

yeah their sales are nonexistent lol
i meant to say that their customer-facing anything is poo poo but oh well, cant imagine they sell well. the only thing that sold better than competitors until now is htc, but that will be changing rapidly now - oculus rift dropped their prices with bells and whistles to $500ish (after current promo ends), and the $1100-something htc vive does not add nowhere near $600 dollars of value

so does bells and whistles for the oculus rift include the expensive rear end computer you need to drive it also? No? oh well
no, it does not. the expensive rear end computer is cheaper than a macbook anyways

rift with touch controllers will be $500 after $400 sale ends
vive with controllers and headphones is $1160 and gets you lovely build quality + lovely customer service + buying from htc is an adventure of its own

oculus is getting pretty bad rap and you need a whole loving lot of usb ports to run it, but six hundred dollars is six hundreds dollars so this will be funny period now that bunch of ms oems are making their own headsets too. goodwill and convenience or not, htc might die on this one too

The vive is 800 usd though? :confused:

yes, and if you want hardware feature parity to rift's new bundle, you have to add a lovely $100 headset to it, and two lovely $130 controllers

yea but you're not giving money directly to mark fuckerberg

agreed, in a world with infinite amount of money i'd chose the option that is not affiliated with facebook in any way. in reality though i'll choose a similar product that costs $600 less than competitor, so i hope htc does something or someone else releases something by the when when/if i decide to get a vr headset

can't you do it on windows or macos too? 'cause android is just java and the emuilator is qemu?

yes, you can develop for android literally however you want, just because apple tries to hamstring ios development to mac os doesnt mean little linux is tethered to big linux

at the very least the explosion will be smaller

technically should be less volatile since the primary issue stemmed from maximising capacity

oh wow it gets better

so, htc doesn't actually develop their own keyboard, and instead include third-party keyboard touchpal. apparently touchpal "accidentally" sent an update to include ads that "mistakenly" went to htc phones which are supposed to have the ad-free version

otoh people have been saying this since the early days, and when i did try vanilla android in the 1.5-2.1 era it turns out it was absolutely laughable trash and the manufacturer modifications were obviously necessary. a very recurring pattern to android stuff overall, getting told that something is the way to go and finding that it is actually a garbage fire, but as long as i commit to another thing it has been fixed or replaced or whatever (but turns out to be a different garbage fire)
