tbh I don't think political media is practically avoidable for anyone who commutes to work, there's always at least one political nutter coworker who is fully propagandized

I need a journalist blocklist so bad tbh

LRAs are basically just speakers, it's honestly the most sensible API for them from a programming standpoint
comment in response to post
ah they hired the Photobucket guys
comment in response to post
the only wrinkle is that the Joy-Con don't have audio descriptors, and I'm not sure what to make of that tbh
comment in response to post
tbh I'm not 100% on this, but the haptics is the only thing that's breaking when I MiTM the USB and the audio is the only thing I don't MiTM

they also teach how the different AGs work in high school government too

explosion is giving lucasfilm vibes ngl

dawg they teach this in high school government it's federal only

anyhow current colorable portions of the controller for reference (Joy-Con is hard to see but the stick is separate from the buttons)
comment in response to post
seems like they simplified a lot of the metadata, device type is defined only by the PID I guess
comment in response to post
spot the difference

charging grip with one Joyed Con Just Works too, nice

wdym I thought that's what "let's take this offline" meant

Journalists bullying bsky users bc they're the only ones who click into articles

tbh they really could/should take it a step further and train a classifier to detect certain IP, to avoid the whole "a yellow mouse with red cheeks from the world's most popular IP" thing

the tl;dr is that the NAND can sometimes flip bits, but it has error correction that the OS can use to fix them And I don't thiiiink Nintendo does proactive correction so you have to read the blocks necessary for booting to get them corrected, aka boot up the console, run a game and open some menus

ok it's approved, have fun kids

Why is my app not loading on visionOS 2.5 *my* problem, go yell at the OS devs smh
comment in response to post
the dev cable actually just puts out CDC-NCM networking, it's just that Windows doesn't support that and the old Apple tethering drivers don't have newer PIDs either
comment in response to post
Next steps are probably borrowing Sony's PSVR2 SteamVR driver models and other polishing items like that, but otherwise it's pretty usable as it is. Fixed the really bad crashing issues, velocity issues, and prediction so I figured a release was fine.
comment in response to post
targeting the prediction at roundtrip latency looks pretty good tbh, a little bit of jitters but way less overshoot due to the IMU
comment in response to post
we're on our way back trust me ios 26 is so lickable it's crazy
comment in response to post
also I got jumpscared by the dark-only ghost hands they added in visionOS 26, they're nice but I needed some warning lmao
comment in response to post
tbh I'm not certain if they use visible light for the tracking or not, it tracks in surprisingly dark conditions
comment in response to post
Actually yeah I remember, the Lighthouse 1 thing checks out I think, the magic of Lighthouse 2 was that the lasers modulated their identification in the beam so that they don't have to sync with each other at all for the most part.
comment in response to post
For reference Lighthouse 1 is 50-60Hz per lighthouse, 100-120Hz if you're in both fields of view. It's hard to find good sources on this tbh. My napkin math on the IMU is that it can probably send velocities (not raw IMU) back to the headset at maybe 120-200Hz, idk how Sony handles it tbh.
comment in response to post
tbh it's nice as a reliable fallback for Wireless Acts of God, even if I prefer wireless

The 5 Headset Infinity Gems (Good Display and Optics, Replaceable Battery + Speaker + Ports, Eye Tracking, Face Tracking, Wired Networking)
comment in response to post
Also mostly passes the Beat Saber Expert+ litmus test, but has trouble on the edges of the FoV. The controllers update positions at 30Hz but have IMU-based prediction to bring it up to 90Hz.
