Yeah, I can play Alyx just fine with point and click movement, aside from my head getting ridiculously hot, but full-motion like boneworks wrecks me in 10 minutes.

Even if Alyx is “crippled” it’s by far the best VR content that exists, by an incredibly wide margin. (I’m too lazy to check but I also think you can change it to full motion.)

It should be noted that I don’t get motion sickness in other contexts like in vehicles, rollercoasters, acrobatic aircraft, etc.

VR has a major physical problem that no one has been able to solve: Nausea.

I mean, open is in their name. They shouldn’t have dressed like that. They were asking for it.

They ruin everything. Pepe, Doge, Tesla; fucking Tolkien rolling over in his grave over Anduril and Palantir.

It’s totally appropriate. They’re conflating their spam with a stream of shit that’s backed up, which is entirely accurate.

This is a shitty Texas-based company cutting corners, who also had fires in 2021 and 2022. There are plenty of battery storage facilities operating safely.

Miraculously still better than GOG Galaxy…

Privately owned publicly enforced monopolies are rife with conflicts of interest. PG&E should be taken over by the state yesterday.

No poors will ever be able to get fire insurance again, though.

They get revenue from the pre roll ad while you read the summary. Then they don’t have to pay the creator when you click away before watching.

kW is a unit of instantaneous power; kW/s makes no sense. Note how multiplying that by seconds would cancel time out and return you power again instead of energy. You got there in the end, though.

I also prefer to move the camera, which a mouse is more intuitive for. A 3d mouse is like holding/rotating the object. A middle mouse button is so freaking simple and fast I just don’t understand the problem. Moving the view around is like 2% of my workflow.

And scroll up has to be zoom in. The fact that many defaults are the opposite is literally insane.

Because solidworks is the gold standard in the space and is intuitive for millennials that grew up on computers. It mirrors other software that came before in terms of super basic stuff like how to draw a damn line. If you’re going to do a big swing and change the paradigm with a fundamentally better way, it better be really good for a really good reason.

All the others you listed are very similar to solidworks and no problem. FreeCAD decided sketching should be completely different. I can barely even draw a line and I don’t understand how that’s possible.

I’ve tried it for a few hours, but basic stuff seems incredibly needlessly difficult. After thousands of hours in Solidworks it’s just too painful.

In many regions solar capacity factor is much higher than 20%; for example, the entire US. https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2021/utility-scale_pv

I’m kind of a fan of government doing the right thing regardless of the (high) chance of someone else coming in and shitting all over it.

Of course most don’t actually even believe it, that’s just the pitch to get that VC juice. It’s basically fraud all the way down.

Yet still VASTLY cheaper than Grainger.
