The network effect. It’s big enough that small forums get enough posts to stay active which keeps more people using it.

For example Lemmy has a 3d printer forum that has a few posts a week. Reddit has forums not just for 3d printing but for every specific model of printer and each gets a much activity as Lemmy’s generic forum.

If I’m searching for something, Google will show Reddit content but not Lemmy because there isn’t an answer on Lemmy.

Quest is cheap hardware you can use however you want. You didn’t know what you were talking about.

Cassandrafatigue doesn’t know anything about what they are talking about.

I bought them for my kids. I didn’t buy it until you could use it without a Facebook account.

I recognized the quote. But as I explained it doesn’t apply because the dumb fucks are those that can’t see buying a loss leader hardware product and then not using it the way they planned hurts Facebook.

It’s hardware that can be used with SteamVR or load opensource VR apps directly onto it like DoomVR.

This is almost like someone complaining, “Facebook messenger is asking for my birthdate on the 120hz 1440p monitor that Facebook sold me for half price.” and you reply, “People who bought a PC monitor are dumb fucks.”

It is cheap 3d goggles that display what your PC sends it. Just like your monitor. You don’t have to use Meta’s software. You definitely don’t need to use Meta’s VR Chat app (That’s Horizon that the OP references.)_

Meta is selling VR at a loss like a console where they make up the loss with software game sales. But unlike a Switch/PS5, you don’t have to buy their games. So the real idiot is anyone who wants VR and doesn’t buy a Meta product. Buying a Quest and then using SteamVR causes Meta to lose money.

The answer is no on the immediate timeframe because current market prices already include Chinese manufacturing capacity. It will take years to build the factories that can bring prices down.

It saves screen space but uses on average the same memory. Variable names aren’t preserved by most compilers in the binaries so it doesn’t matter how long you name them.

Get a 3d printer! I have been printing non stop fixing things.

Reply to Zephora so he sees it.

Not familiar with exactly what you are talking about but Amazon sells universal Dknobs for $8. You put whatever size you need into the knob.

Disabling JS is itself a very rare thing for someone to do so doing it helps fingerprint you.

I know you are asking about Synology but like the other poster suggested, build your own.

A coffee lake Xeon server like a 2224G uses shockingly little power (15 watts streaming 4k plex), has ECC ram and are available on eBay for ~$200. I bought several used Lenovo Xeon servers a couple of years ago and they have been fantastic.

Dahua must have improved their software. I was trying every brand of camera about 8 years ago when I setup my system. The first Dahua I bought required their ActiveX component for Internet Explorer to see the camera output from their web interface!

I agree that Dahua looked better but at the time their web interface was so bad I kept the Hikvisions.

Dahua and Hikvision have great cameras but of course you shouldn’t trust them. Block them at the firewall. I bought mine a few years ago and preferred Hikvision for its better built in webserver for initial configuration.

On the hosting side you run Frigate, Zoneminder or BlueIris (Windows) to control the cameras and record their streams.

Linux written in Scratch!

So, what if people from different countries and regions exchanged contacts here and talked about what’s really happening in their countries

Bots present themselves as real people with opinions. I know this is off topic, but have you ever tried Cool Ranch Doritos?

All corporations in the US are built on stolen native American land. The US is currently run by a fascist pedophile.

No one should support solari’s maker space because it supports a fascist pedophile and their maker space is literally on stolen land.

There are Israelis who don’t support the genocide. If that company is one of those, it would be important to support them.

Those definitions need to match the global standards or you end up with your own confusing jargon.

Not really. The first local login to configure it requires a Plex account. And that account times out maybe monthly? It seems every few months when I remote to the Plex server it wants the plex account to login.

The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.
