It definitely does obscure the fact that the PC version includes VR itself. I’ll buy it for Quest and PC myself simply to support the studio and hopefully help make sure they produce games for a few more decades!

When they first announced the remake they didn’t mention anything about native Quest support, but they did talk about PCVR initially (which was the day I finally invested in VR hardware). I’m honestly surprised they got it running on the Quest, though it does look like they had to reduce detail by quite a lot to get to perform decently on the Quest.

For this particular game the PC version will support PCVR via Steam (and probably other ways as well).

Exactly what I was expecting! Definitely read it wrong.

Thanks for doing these, I always enjoy reading them!

It really is! I can’t wait for the future where I take a couple cheap and used M1 Mac minis and run Linux servers on them.

Yes, there absolutely is a lot of integrations and even if a consumer level SoC existed that could run arm64 macOS, it might not last long as all Apple would have to do is slightly change some aspect of their particular architecture and it would stop working. I don’t expect it to ever happen, but then again, I never expected macOS on x86 either.

Asahi, by the way, it’s astounding how far they’ve come with porting over to Apple Silicon. I haven’t had the itch strong enough yet to give it a go, but I will eventually.

An interesting and, sadly, accurate read. I will miss building my Hacks, but I knew as soon as Apple announced their switch to arm64 that the good times were over.

Maybe sometime in the future we’ll have a powerful and open arm64 system that we can somehow run Apple Silicon macOS on?

I would love it if local conventions started popping up everywhere again. I haven’t been to one since 1991.

That is just awesome! I’d love to see some of the lighting effects.

I’m curious, what is the sitemap endpoint used for generally?

Oh damn, I didn’t even catch that!

It is absolutely infuriating. It blows my mind that you can have a USB 3.2 Gen2 cable that does everything you need it to, except for the fact that it doesn’t support Power Delivery and a lot of the time you won’t even know, so if you’re sending high wattage through it there’s a real possibility you’re gonna burn some to kind up.

I know, it is a never ending source of minor comedy that “Universal” is right there in the name.

“USB 4 2.0”… someone should really do something about the incredibly goofy naming scheme.

It is more complicated than that. There are multiple different server components that make up Bluesky and its federation. The PDS (Person Data Server) is what they’re mostly talking about in that press release. You can however run all three major server components yourself and setup a completely separate network that would then federate with Bluesky proper. It’s quite different to Mastodon and other ActivityPub services (where you setup a Mastodon, Lemmy, WriteFreely, etc… instance and then federate).

Still, at present it does feel a little pointless.

Oh wow, that’s really cool! I’ll definitely take it for a spin. I’ve been thinking that something like this would be great.

From what I’ve read of this, it’s basically already done. The developer is just waiting for AT Protocol federation. I’m not sure how to feel about how it works though, it’s got some quirks because of the differences in the protocols.

I like your example there a lot, I’m going to use that in the future when I’m trying to express that notion. In the past I’ve never been able to articulate that exact concept. So thanks!

I do really hope we get several more seasons of Prodigy. When I first started watching it I thought for sure it would the Trek I wouldn’t like, but I was very wrong.

I don’t think so, not in this case. From what I understand the fact that the hardware exists on the watch is the problem. Back when something similar happened with FaceTime it was easier for Apple to deal with because they were able to fundamentally change how FaceTime works since it was entirely software.
