I keep my Kodi install media just for this reason. I have OpenElec/Kodi 5.95 install media if you want an image of it. Runs rock solid on my intel NUC.
You do understand that in the event you cite Sony was slapped hard in court for, right? It was an ILLEGAL action. They had no such right to remove OtherOS in the manner they did. You should construct better arguments.
O look, a completely binary, un-nuanced view of the situation. IF the Dems do something wrong, and then the Repubs also do it, its not hypocritical to call one or both out on it. You might not have the right perspective to see both sides, you might have had bad information passed along to you, etc etc. Saying its all ok because they are both turds helps no one.
You arent bursting anything. If all future development on VR stopped right now, i would still be very happy where are with the tech. I have two working headsets and all the development tools needed to create my own environments. I dont care about mass adoption other than how it affects the economies of scale. As far as the arcade thing, there is strong interest in the market for it. A good chunk of HTC Vives sold are for the arcade market overseas.
I dont really know what the point of your post is. I didnt make any grand promises of how VR will conquer all interfaces. I said i liked it, that the tech is impressive and it will proliferate one way or another through both consumer and industrial uses. I lived through the death of arcade in the 80s. Hell i had a full-size Asteroids machine in my bedroom in 1984 that i picked up after the crash for $100.
Here is how i explain why these Assistants are bad. They dont work for you, they work for the company that sold it to you. If I ask Amazon Alexa for some Shakespeare, she is going to try and sell me books from Amazon instead of reciting it (for free) from Project Gutenberg.
IM deeply interested in moving computing and interactive environments into the 'real world'. VR/AR is a pathway to that dream. Sure i might be biased, but im also honest and will happily list VRs shortcomings. Its EXPENSIVE, its clunky to get up and running and the software is all alpha/beta. Its all new territory so we are making up 'languages' as we go along. Its very much like the early days of PC. I got into it knowing it wont even really fully flower until at least 2020. Regardless of whether i was into VR or not, i would still be interested in the tracking systems they brought about, as a hobbyist.
VR dev checking in. Its absolutely not a fad. I use my holodeck every day. I have both the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift installed for Room-Scale gaming. It might not be the all-out replacement for gaming some think it is, but its definitely not going away. It will see wide use in arcades, architecture visualization etc. The tracking tech itself will go on to see use in many industries. Think Lighthouse guided Roombas, etc.
The main reason i chose the NUC is that it has a proper NIC attached to high speed bus. The Pis internal ethernet connection is much weaker. I have PIs, but performance simply wasnt good enough.
It doesnt cost me anything above the cost i already pay for Prime. All i have to do is order a minimum of $20 and the prices are mostly competitive with my grocery store. I live in an upstairs condo, so i get all the heavy stuff delivered like water, soda, pet food, etc. Your 'environmental costs' comment is laughable at best. Thanks to the rise in delivery services, i rarely need to drive anymore. My car sits for weeks at a time, where before i would have to drive it at least once a week, usually more.
Thats cute. I have been getting 2 HOUR deliveries from Amazon for a year and a half.. I even use it when i go on vacation. I have soda, water and snacks delivered right to the hotel.
They will never clear their backlog. The more they launch, the cheaper it gets, the more others can participate in space economy. It is a pet dream of mine to launch a pico-sat.
Nintendo doesnt get 'infrastructure'. They dont understand that they NEED a living network to tie their products together. Nintendo doesnt like Information Age stuff, it wants to make toys, nothing more.
Let me rephrase. We didnt save nearly as much money as we thought we would by re-using them. The cost to refurbish was ridiculously high. Yes they were 'reusable', but not in the way they were planned to be. WE would have gotten a lot more flights than 135 if they had been cheaper to refurbish.

I could deal with the upfront cost and even the fees, its the ADS IN THE INTERFACE that makes refuse to even entertain Tivo.
Go fuck yourself Shuttleworth. No one really criticized you until you shoved commercialism into Ubuntu.

Did you miss the announcement of a version of Windows 10 that only runs store apps? Its the corpse of RT re-animated once again.
I like the name Tim Sweeney gave it. Windows 10: Crush Steam Edition
Encryption isnt magic, it is copyable and breakable. If i have the hardware i can hammer the device,or a copy of the data to my heart's desire.

If i have the hardware in my hand, the game is already over. Dont make excuses for them,

IM over 40 miles away from my tower cluster and receive everything, but i have an attic mounted big antenna.
I cant wait for an 'affordable' dual socket workstation when AMD Naples comes out later this quarter.
I dont consider is 'Linux' because its been 'googled'. AOSP is basically dead.
Why are you using Wifi? I use my cell connection everywhere but home.

I can build a Kodi box out of a $130 Intel NUC, 2 GB of RAM and an SD card, is Amazon going to stop selling them too?

The shuttle was planned to be reusable, in practice it was not. It took way too much refurb to get it flight ready again.
