Anticipating Samsung's AMOLED Mixed Reality Headset (windowscentral.com)
Eloking quotes Windows Central:
At an event in San Francisco, HoloLens inventor Alex Kipman outlined the future of Windows Mixed Reality, which Redmond seems to believe is the future of computing. Whether or not it is remains to be seen, but either way, there will be no shortage of Windows Mixed Reality headsets this holiday season, with perhaps the most compelling option coming from Samsung.
The $500 Samsung HMD Odyssey sports dual AMOLED eye displays, complete with a 110-degree field of view. This could potentially make a huge difference in the quality of the Windows Mixed Reality experience for two reasons. First, AMOLED displays can generate deeper blacks and more vibrant colors than your average OLED or LCD screen. Second, all other Windows Mixed Reality headsets we've seen have a 95-degree FoV. The Samsung headset will be more immersive because there will be less dead space in your peripheral vision.
The headset -- which comes with motion controllers -- is expected to launch in one month.

Can anyone give me a coherent answer about why anyone needs a bump stock to convert a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic one? There is no legitimate reason for anyone to have bump stocks, and they need to be banned. It is truly remarkable to me that conservatives would resist a common sense measure like banning bump stocks.
Because you've already got most of the cake and you don't need more?
You're drinking the kool-aid served to you by the MSM in particular and liberals in general. They make money by selling outrage, and they do it without careful consideration of the consequences. Their intelligence horizon extends no further than "the next click".
The issue has been gone over in detail and there are about two dozen legitimate arguments why further gun control is wasteful, ineffective, and dangerous.
Get over it.
Start with rationality and premise: Describe the problem by stating how many people are killed, annually, using bump stocks. Then proceed to a rational comparison of how our civilization would be different with and without bump stocks, and include in your description the cost of implementing the ban versus the reward of having the ban.
If you really, *really* want to have "that conversation about gun control", then we can have that... but if we do, note that everything will be on the table for discussion, including relaxing gun restrictions. Would we be more safe if the entire country went to reciprocity?
Also that discussion will allow for "out of the box" potential solutions. For example, instead of blanket laws controlling guns, would the rewards be better served by banning moslems from owning guns? Or blacks? What do the statistics say?
If you honestly want to further restrict guns, you'll need to convince the smart population of the country. Evidence indicates that people are getting tired of ill-founded emotional arguments that don't work in practice, and our horizon for "giving it a chance" is shrinking to less than a senate term.
Convince a majority of the logic and benefits of your position, and stop making these inane emotional pleas.
Do it the right way.
