    IT Jobs Bound for Extinction

    My job is safe. I'm lowly help desk support. People need another human to tell them to "reboot and call back if it doesn't fix the problem".

    Why You are Wrong that VR is Going to Fail

    Speaking of DnD, I think VR would make an excellent platform for it. You have a DM who has an overview of the maps, and can drop pre-scripted encounters. You have multiple players that go in play out the adventure. I really like the Rec Room theater play, and would like it to be more...

    Why You are Wrong that VR is Going to Fail

    Motion sickness affects me because of the disconnect between visual appearance of velocity and my body not really moving. I thought the teleportation movement would be stupid, but actually moving first-person style instantly got me sick. Teleportation movement never does.

    Should I get Playstation VR or Oculus Rift?

    I got mine directly from the Oculus store after the price drop. It came with an XBox controller.

    Should I get Playstation VR or Oculus Rift?

    My vote is for the Oculus Rift. $600 gets you the Rift, Touch Controllers, 2 Sensors, and a Wireless X-box controller. Add $60 and get a 3rd Sensor. Tracking is phenomenal, and so far, works great with SteamVR. It also plays very well on my AMD FX-4350 & AMD R9 390, no slow downs, and was...

    Help Choosing a MB for an i7-7700k

    Delving into VR with a Oculus Rift + Touch. I'm looking to upgrade my current setup to an Intel i7-7700k. I don't OC at all. It will get my current video card (AMD R9 390) I think I whittled it down to 4 motherboards: ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC...

    For those with families: How much game time do you get?

    The main reason is that we found that it isolates us, and then we think that's normal. Imagine walking into a room, and you have three people, nose buried in their own devices, sitting there, and not talking, not interacting with one another..in the same room. I don't have to imagine it, because...

    Rift+Touch just dropped by $200

    Thanks! Yeah. Saw that an additional sensor was only $60, but the disclaimer saying that it was kind of experimental and that not all games supported it made me think it was optional. I'll perhaps pick one up next paycheck or so. I ordered from Oculus directly from their website. They shipped...

    For those with families: How much game time do you get?

    3 & 5 year old. About an 1.5 hours after they go to bed, and about 1 hour before they wake up on the weekends. I honestly try to hide my compute time from my kids. During waking hours for the kids, I'm never on my computer, tablet, or smartphone unless I'm looking up recipes or paying bills...

    CoolerMaster Makes Building PCs Harder

    I'm sure there is a market for that out there. I've seen custom ones, but a mass produced one would probably sell well.

    Best Buy Geeksquad Informants for FBI?

    When I worked as a tech at CompUSA when they still had retail stores, and we had a visit from the FBI pretty much 2 weeks after we opened. She dropped off a card with her contact number. We were given no rules on how we found anything, just that if we did, we were to contact her office ASAP...

    Can't Fall Sleep? Watch Napflix

    For a second... I thought I read 'Fapflix' in the thread title. Would be a good domain.

    My First Virtual Reality Groping

    I'd be pissed more if my daughter or wife didn't do something rather than just run around like a silly goose for 10 minutes while it happened, then come crying to me when there was a bajillion solutions to the problem. Either fight back, or log off and find another place to hang out. If I hadn't...

    My First Virtual Reality Groping

    Uhmm... couldn't she just remove her headset? I dunno... log off? Was the thing accidentally stuck to her? I mean.. I think it would be an issue with the headset if she couldn't take it off. I would be scared too if it was stuck on me. Imagine never leaving a VR world. *shivers* Sometimes...

    Nintendo’s Ultimate Retro Gaming Experience Is $60

    So want. In reality, I'd probably play it for the first hour, then have it sit on the tv collecting dust for the next 3 years. Oh nostalgia, you fickle beast.

    US Government Releases Proposed Guidelines For Smart Guns

    I have no doubt, we'll see another AWB that passed in 1994 very soon. At the rate things are going, it's already happening with those in LE agencies pressing to limit OP and CC. The first and loudest people right now about tougher gun laws is law enforcement. And of course, blue lives matter...

    Stupidest iPhone Case Ever

    Looks to me it would just make it more tempting and easier for a thief to grab and run with it before you knew it was even gone. Unsecured, easy grab handle, back pocket. Might as well hang a sign that says "steal me". Carrying into an airport is no smarter than carrying a water pistol into...

    Geek Squad Employee Was Paid FBI Informant

    Work for CompUSA as a technician back in the day. We actually DID get visited by an FBI "field agent". A woman. She handed her card to our manager and simply asked if we found anything illegal (child porn), we were to contact her. No pay roll or even a promise of reward. She was dressed like a...

    Lab-Grown Meat Is In Your Future

    Really a non-issue if the best substitute they can come up for this lab-meat is ground beef. Now if they can create a lab grown slab of rib-eye, cooked medium rare, then I would be interested. Otherwise, there is a million choices of ground beef "substitute" on the market now.
