Wireless is available now if you're willing to accept the need to fiddle with settings and drivers to get it to work. I have a TPCast, and when it works, it works really well. However, I often run into the need to reboot the headset or tpcast, or tpcast-router, sometimes multiple times to get the initial connection up, which is... annoying.
I've had the original Vive since release, and I still play multiple games, but by far, most of my time is spent in Pavlov VR (https://store.steampowered.com/app/555160/Pavlov_VR/) which is basically a CS:GO knock-off and amazing in a VR experience.
In my opinion, which I'm sure HTC doesn't care about, they're really dropping the ball. I would buy an upgraded Vive in a heart-beat. Notably, a higher resolution is the obvious thing they could improve, but so much more could be done: lighter HMD, slimmer HMD, built-in wireless (current wireless solutions are quite cumbersome), slimmer/lighter cable, cheaper/included ankle trackers, etc.
Instead, they released the VivePro which is barely an upgrade and costs way too much when compared to the Vive. Now they release this Focus Plus thing that, from reading the article, sounds like it has worse tracking than the first vive, and is "targeted at businesses" whatever that means, I suspect it means game experiences will suffer greatly.

Now if only firefox would give us an option to disable ctrl+q (without an addon), that would actually be useful!
(who the hell makes ctrl+q close the entire program with no confirmation, then puts useful hot keys like ctrl+a, ctrl+w right by the deadly one!?!)

There's nothing religious about it. Organs ain't cheap, there's good money to be made in finding "creative" (murderous) ways to acquire them. Harvesting organs without consent gives everyone involved in the harvesting a reason to murder people for those organs.

Ethics in medical (any) science is a very important, and we shouldn't encourage third-world dictatorships to create more suffering by accepting unethical medical research.
Holocaust survivor Susan Vigorito found the use of the word "data" a sterile term. She was 3½ when she and her twin sister, Hannah, arrived at Auschwitz. They were housed for an entire year in Mengele's private lab in a wooden cage a yard and a half wide. Without anesthetic, Mengele would repeatedly scrape at the bone tissue of one of her legs. Her sister died from repeated injections to her spinal column. She claims that she is the real data, the living data of Dr. Mengele.
Reddit has dedicated streaming forums for all the major leagues. A few hours before a game starts people [sic bots] will begin posting links to live streams, sometimes you'll have to switch streams when it gets shutdown mid-game. But overall it's not a huge headache.

For the love of god, don't pay $166.50 for something you could download for free and print yourself for less than $16.
Of course, then I have to spend time figuring out printing options, determining if the printer/printing company supports the file in a lossless format or if I have to first convert it to something like jpeg, then determining if compression artifacts will show in the print, then I have to deal with color profiles, then I have figure out framing options and get it framed...
Or, I could pay someone else $150 to figure out all this stuff and get a nice printed and framed image shipped directly to me in the size I want.
You can pipe the output of journalctl to whatever you want. So I'm not sure I understand the actual complaint. But further, while journal is great for catching start-up messages from services, it is not something you would use in an enterprise for true logging. Which is why on RHEL systems, journald is configured to forward everything to rsyslog which works the same as it always has. So... Nothing is really different, and you can do things as you always have.
So you're mad that you might have to read a manual to a highly complex system? I'm impressed that you do "real work" on a system that you have no idea how it works!
If you don't want to bother reading manuals because you're too busy doing "real work". Why did you even bother upgrading to RHEL7? Stick with RHEL6, which is supported until 2024.
But the logging issue is a bigger problem. I miss SysV scripts where even if something didn't get logged, you could at least see it on the console.
Yeah, I know what you mean! Typing "journalctl -u sshd" is impossible to remember! Much easier to just jump on the systemd-hate bandwagon and use strace.
It's SO-FUCKING-ANNOYING that systemd logs all stdout and stderr to the journal! I mean ugh! having to type journalctl. I can't even.
First, anyone who can sniff the wifi traffic can see all the mac addresses. Second, in Linux you can change your MAC to whatever you want with one command:
NAT provides no security, if you think NAT-ing does anything other than provide extended addresses you need to read some networking books.
For a primer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_traversal>
Further, In IPv6 just because each device has a unique address do NOT mean that each device can or must be globally accessible. You still have firewalls, and gateways.
Fun fact, all major operating systems support the IPv6 Privacy Extensions and most even turn them on by default. EXCEPT for the one operating system designed by an advertising company (hint: Android).
And IPv6 moving away from NAT has everything to do with NAT being an awful solution to the bad design of IPv4. NAT Going away is an enormous benefit for the freedom of the internet where all nodes are treated as peers.
So maybe you have better things to get upset about?
Why? They have proven themselves to be untrustworthy, and have done other questionable things since. Sony makes nothing that a dozen other electronic manufactures don't also make. Avoiding their malware is easy.
Some ass used one of my domains to sign up for literally hundreds of Google accounts. Now, Google is spamming all those accounts with GDPR emails. It got so bad I had to blacklist all of Google. Google also totally ignores the reject code from the email server, if I send 'em a 554 they'll just keep trying and trying, so now I kill 'em with a 421, but they still don't give up.
Sony has been on my boycott list since 2005 due to their attempted (attempted is the keyword here, +1 Linux) cracking of my personal hardware. Hope their "illegal" (we know it isn't really illegal if a corporation does it) practices were worth it.

Also, Sandisk is on my shit-list too for refusing to honor a mail-in rebate for $5. I hope they enjoyed missing out of $1000s (literally, thousands (I like storage)) of dollars in sales to save 5 bucks.

Is that a comp-sci gigaton (1024 megatons) or an SI gigaton (1000 megatons)? I really wish you had used standard abbreviations, e.g. GiT or GT. =p

A photo sharing site that doesn't delete the photos. If only I had thought of that, I could be a billionaire!
Where in a scene with a camera and a projector, the scene can be from the point of view of either the camera or projector.
Of course, then I have to spend time figuring out printing options, determining if the printer/printing company supports the file in a lossless format or if I have to first convert it to something like jpeg, then determining if compression artifacts will show in the print, then I have to deal with color profiles, then I have figure out framing options and get it framed...

Sometimes convenience is worth paying for.
Not sure if you're joking... But man -k lists all man pages about systemd. There are 147 man documents on a RHEL7 system, each multiple pages long.
You can pipe the output of journalctl to whatever you want. So I'm not sure I understand the actual complaint. But further, while journal is great for catching start-up messages from services, it is not something you would use in an enterprise for true logging. Which is why on RHEL systems, journald is configured to forward everything to rsyslog which works the same as it always has. So...

If you don't want to bother reading manuals because you're too busy doing "real work". Why did you even bother upgrading to RHEL7? Stick with RHEL6, which is supported until 2024.
And yes, systemd is incredibly well documented. Just the man pages alone on the system:
$ man -k systemd | wc -l
147
But for online documentation: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/
In almost every way systemd is better than sysv, upstart or other init systems, and it fixes many long standing issues SysV had.
But the logging issue is a bigger problem. I miss SysV scripts where even if something didn't get logged, you could at least see it on the console.
Yeah, I know what you mean! Typing "journalctl -u sshd" is impossible to remember! Much easier to just jump on the systemd-hate bandwagon and use strace.

MAC whitelists do NOTHING for security.

Wrong; See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941.
