It's almost like VR is actually a niche product or something
half heath
Ive still never experienced it
half heath
Does it actually feel real cause the way ppl act in videos it seem immersive
hoary charm
uh it can be a spectrum
anywhere from those cardboard frames you put your phone into all the way up to like $2k headsets
i've tried a valve index and it's decent but when you can literally see pixels it shatters the illusion pretty quick. same with having a low field of view
half heath
even with like higher definition stuff?
eager parrot
even the OLED mini screens that Apple uses in their headset isn't high resolution enough to completely feel immersive
they're using a very similar module as what Sony uses in their higher end mirrorless camera electronic viewfinders
hoary charm
also screen resolution going up means GPU usage goes up
you're not going to be running max settings 240fps when both eyes are like 3000x3000px
sony and valve soon i guess have some good stuff in fixing that but it's not like VR stuff is mainstream yet for it all to catch on much
eager parrot
there's some science and pseudo science when it comes to screen resolution and distance
that was mostly meant for HD tvs and projectors
but it does scale all the way for VR and distance those screens and those lenses sit with respect to the eyes
basically we're a very long ways off from you not noticing pixels at all
it's something like 24-36 million pixels but in 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratio
so 8K resolution per eye
and good luck with CPU/GPU that can handle 16K (for both eyes) like that
hoary charm
dlss 6 to the rescue
eager parrot
I wonder if resolution per eye or pixels per degree or whatever the measurement is will catch up to what is necessary for seamless 180-270 vision first or if we'll have mind links that project images into the brain directly first
for now though, none of the VR headsets, even the most expensive ones, can measure up in sharpness to something like a 4K or 5K screen at 27-32 inches just 3 feet away from your face
hoary charm
yeah after getting used to 27 inch 4k oled, i don't really have a want for a nice vr headset anymore
it's mostly just the need for more gpu for higher framerates

Flagging happens for tax reasons
It is operated by a Turkish company
It is likely a response to have Turkey declare war to Iran, after comments of Turkey and Pakistan trying to persuade gulf countries against declaring war to Iran
Issue is that the whole regime depends on US to consolidate it's rule, so they kinda have to do what US demands
Crew is also 100% Turkish
But yeah, context is that flagging ships to different states happen due either diplomatic or taxation reasons
It also happens with private yachts or tour cruises
The registered owner of the latest ship to be hit is China-based Sea Grace Shipping Ltd and the manager is the Turkey-based Pergamon Denizcilik, according to Refinitiv data.

The two main persons responsible for global energy crisis are still Trump and Putin and nobody else comes close
fossil basin
It seems more target to have Turkey declare ground war on Iran with recent MAGA targets on state despite current faction providing any demands Trump wants of him
Plan of Trump and Netanyahu seems to initiate ground offenses from Turkey and Azerbaijan, two states where Israel might be stronger than in Tel Aviv (in terms of international policies)
State knows potential destruction of Iran will provide Israel as undisputed regional power, but current regime's rule is entirely dependent on EU/US and Israel due having lost ability to control economic and social divides and destruction that have economies more negatively impacted than both Ukraine and Russia, and cannot seem to afford not obey to them
I am quite worried to have nobody semi-capable regardless of what direction we choose to take on helm
I do not know what route to exactly take, it is a tough situation geopolitically, issue is whoever we have is more busy edit aurafarming, and hiding information of signed statements from it's own people
Recently foreign minister had accused Iran of striking itself and their own cities in an English-only document, not even Trump or Netanyahu has done such accusations

Damn people are so quick to point fingers instead of actually helping people out and thinking of actual solutions. So the Philippines is declared a state of emergency because of the small oil reserves it had before the war in Iran began. In the Philippines right now they’re so quick to blame the current president, that they’re saying they should’ve joined China should’ve been friendlier with China in the first place. While there’s a lot to blame and criticize with the Philippine government, this one isn’t their fault when it’s completely the US’ fault. Who freaking knew that Orange Man would start a war out nowhere and fight Israel’s war for them.
Sorry I had to vent
Like how would Philippines cozying up to China benefit the Philippines back then when China also doesn’t care about the Philippines. The reason was because China was invading the Philippines EEZ which is why the Philippine became much more hostile against China

A tad bit of revisionism imo. While Biden definitely was losing it during the end of his presidency, the Dems didn’t know how bad it was gonna be. I replacing the ruling president with another candidate has never been done before. Pulling one off was already a big taboo, which is why whatever candidate they chose it would still have been a problem. Even if it was Bernie, while I think Bernie would’ve done better than Kamala in terms of popularity, the fact of replacing the ruling president at the very end is a deal.
Replacing Biden early would’ve caused some problems, maybe even another January 6. I think the last thing they wanted to do was to replace Biden. But he was completely not cognitively there that they had no choice but to do so

Ukraine might have bombed tanker to point of Turkish participation in Ukraine - Russia war and turn black sea into a warzone, would explain NATO summit in Ankara in 100 days, and potential dissolution of Montreaux Straits Convention
Reminds me of beginning of WW1 where it was German forces and capital controlling all Ottoman initiatives due lack of economic independence and massive debts, and potential crimean bombardments of shared vessels
Trump likely plans for renewed war efforts in the region too if they plan on mass death of Turkish troops, I think he is more pro-armageddon and pro-new feudalism than pro-Russia particularly (he just apprecites the 'opressive strongman culture', but wants them to be bound to him)

im actually ok with him doing this because its really good pr for our government and terrible for farage

what does farage have to do with the US pulling out of nato
is he advocating for joining in on iran stuff or something
nova holly
yep and so were the tories (they both had to backtrack hard when they realised people werent into it)
farage is just very pro trump in most things
we also have tony blair who cant shut up about how much the uk should join in in the middle east

Congress also explicitly passed a law in 2024 preventing the president from withdrawing from nato but when has reality ever stopped trump from doing something

And why his actions do not make sense
For someone praising Putin as much, he has Turkey prepared to repeat ww1 to have black sea war against Russia for Ukraine support command found violating Montreaux convention

He just doesn't make sense overall regardless what one thinks he should do
Not just him but the brand Trump and his comittees too
Similarly idk why he is arming nato bases here if he is planning to pull out of nato
Does he plan to convert NATO bases to direct US bases

Hormuz is back on the menu i guess?

Hormuz is back on the menu i guess?
Probably lying, or that Pezeshkian who is more US-aligned than ruling comittee has asked for one
Pezeshkian is Azeri, and Azerbaijan is extremely US and Israel aligned
There is hence conflict between Pezeshkian who is prime minister, and ruling committee of Iran
He was back then celebrated in Turkey due being more 'pro Turk and pro US' after being selected

The bridge that they hit was in a popular gathering spot for people during what the Iranians call https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizdah_Be-dar or "Nature Day" that occurs as the final day of their new year celebration.

Its definitely a thing in the south in the summer. If you work outside and have dirty hands your lunch was this or heavily aluminum wrapped sandwich.
Especially if in construction on a roof its just easier to hold/eat/drink. You just get the unsalted peanuts and pour them in.
People I knew did this with sunflower seeds and dr pepper.

Depends on how hot the day is
You're either sweating your nuts off or drinking salty nuts
There was a "hack" to throw like 3/4 full bottle of coke in the freezer for a couple of minutes and then dump some nuts in the bottle when you take it out. It supposedly was like way better and refreshing.
