I’m really trying to avoid all Meta products, but Quest 3 seems to have the best reviews and there are some good refurbished and used deals.

I’m not sure what to pick instead, while being cheap and having a PC about 7 years old.

That’s why I thought ahead and stayed with the Pixel 5A, so that I would not get Android 15.

Doh!

The current funding level remaining is for 69 euros, 78 us dollars. Supposed to include shipping to anywhere in the world from Austria.

Clicking the link in the text works for me. Clicking the media for the post does not work for me.

If it wasn’t Facebook, I would have bought one already.

Really can’t trust their software if they flat out lie like that.

Yeah, it did get me to stop also a dual boot with Linux. I’m mostly Windows, so I’ve just used Linux in VMs.

What bugs has it made?

Sorry about the negativity from so many people.

You do what works for you.

Ouch!

I do get a billing error about every 2 or 3 years. Usually something like they double bill a month, or the price for just 1 month is suddenly 2x - 3x the normal price.

I’ve used them for probably 2 decades, getter in because of the $1/month for a year deal.

I think I’m on the top, or 2nd from the top, tier. Has unlimited disk space, but it’s not open access from the start. Every so many tens of GB you have to call to get the soft limit raised. They are trying to keep a bot from just filling the space up.

I use their hosted WordPress, so that they handle the upgrading.

I also have run a few wiki sites on there. Those install and run fine.

I wish I could figure out if I could install OwnCloud or such on there. I’m not great with Linux. You don’t have rights to the OS, but anything you access through a webpage or FTP you can put there. You should have access to chron jobs, but my skills aren’t there yet.

I mainly use them to host my own email domain, that I then access from gMail.

Biggest problem I’ve had with them is they will charge extra if you use a phased-out version of Python. So you have to make sure you keep anything using Python updated.

Sorry about the rude responses from some people.

Exciting! Enjoy the upgrade!

They killed Clippy! Those bastards!

Open your computer and reseat any cables and components that you can.

Maybe even do a memory test with something like MemTest86(?).

Random electric noise and disconnects could cause random corruption issues like this.

I paid for a keyboard, I’m going to use a keyboard!

Does your current laptop have a dedicated graphics card?

Can you try a USB to HDMI adapter? I don’t recall how they work with a dedicated card. Haven’t used one since Intel i7 gen 2 days, so my reference points are no longer relevant.

I am not talking about jank yolo prayer work. I’m talking about people learning how to do something properly. Duct tape a car is not the repair I’m talking about.

You are complaining about there not being enough skilled workers today. I’m talking about people learning the skills over time.

Look at how many types of food and products are starting to promote cleaner ingredients and more sustainable materials as people are starting to learn more about their health and the environment. People can learn and thing can get better.

I’m not saying that today everyone should push a button and start self hosting. I’m saying it would be great if more people learn to self host and that there are benefits to people learning more.

People don’t just absorb knowledge. It will require education programs.
