I doubt it. But I could see some economic pressures

I’m American and I went!

It’s not too bad actually. There’s a bunch of rules technically (all imposed by the American govt because they think they can control what you do abroad…) but really it’s not to hard to follow. Have to stay in a Casa Particular instead of a hotel (because the hotels are state run), which basically means get an AirBnB. Prices are very affordable. I paid $100 for a week in Old Havana. Flights from Florida were very cheap. Then you have to avoid government run things. I found some private tour guides for some trips outside of Havana but most days we just took taxis or walked (it’s quite safe) around Havana talking to people, seeing some monuments, going to bars and such.

The real pain is money. Your cards will not work at all anywhere in Cuba due to the sanctions. No ATMs because of this. So you need to bring all the money you need. Many places will take USD or Euros, some things you need Cuban Pesos for and you’ll want to find someone on the street to change it out with and haggle the rate. The official government exchanges give abysmal rates.

Cell service on your domestic plan ranges from non-existent or still stuck in the early 2000s where moderate usage will cost $1000s… But I was able to get a local tourist sim for $14 for a week and just didn’t use my home cell data.

The Treasury can ask for receipts for 5 years after your trip but as far as I’ve ever heard they haven’t asked anyone about it.

Cuba is also popular with Canadians

They sent us an email saying that we should only use Copilot built into the Microsoft 365 stuff work provided, if we use AI.

But no mandate or instructions otherwise thankfully. But I don’t work in tech.

Art hat been one of the most ban happy subs since forever. The only major one I was ever banned from

Lmao a huge number of people use it for work still

It is - that’s just how URLs in non-latin fonts look unfortunately. URLs, (and a ton of tech infrastructure) is hugely English/latin script biased.

The URL is Japanese.

No, but it seems like a logical step is all. Allow devs to distribute ARM binaries of their game. Release Steam for ARM.

If they do the work anyhow no sense in wasting it.

Yes, but they’re making a build specifically for this set. They own all the source code. Presumably that means they made this version native for ARM.

Considering the big rise in ARM PCs it’s completely logical that they start supporting it more too, allowing devs to make and distribute ARM builds.

For Linux, you find out if there is a package. If not you go to a website and see if there is an app image or zip file. You then need to know where to place the downloaded file, how to get it running (making it executable), knowing how to chmod and chown (it is better to have to do it like in Linux, but it is an extra step), and how to add it to your desktop (there is no right+click and add to desktop/create shortcut option in Arch based distros like there is on Windows). If there is a service component you may need to go into command line and systemctl to enable it.

I don’t think I’ve ever followed that workflow to be honest. Except for when doing something niche and way above and beyond something a casual user would do.

Open the software center, search what you want. Click install. Done. I use the terminal to the same effect but that’s by preference. Installing packages as you described is not at all recommended… They won’t update with the system.

The “add to desktop” thing really depends on your Desktop Environment too. GNOME not really, KDE and most others yeah.

I don’t think the learning curve is any harder than someone who’s learning Windows for the first time.

It’s just different. Honestly in some ways simpler IMO. But if you were a life long Mac user and touched Windows for the first time today you’d probably have a rougher time I think.

Bypassing the battery?

They will sell optional controller straps, and the controllers have 5 finger capacitive tracking.

I bet it will be. But I’m not sure if there will really be any OSes developed for it.

Wait but I have been side loading on my Quest 3? They disabled the ability to sideload Android APKs? Still works for me.

It’s not a Linux Vision Pro. Vision Pro is aimed at productivity and “Spatial Computing” or whatever.

This is a gaming device first and foremost, and you can see that from the black and white passthrough on the Valve machine.

But you’re right that it can definitely be the foundation for AR/VR forward Linux environments. It would be really cool to see a 100% spatial compositor that challenges the conventional flat computing paradigm.

But playing with full color passthrough and hand tracking on Quest 3 does make me a little disappointed in this. I was able to sideload standard Android APKs and interact and move them around with my hands which was mega cool. I could do the dishes with YouTube just floating in front of the sink. I didn’t actually do it more than once but it got me excited about the future of spatial computing.

I mean presumably in the course of such a large project this was done.

Presumably, it would be better to wait for more detail before wildly speculating that this was incompetence.

Most of them don’t even get to prison before they get executed…

Dudes in China almost certainly

Good for him

I find them far more common than finger balls. I mean I can get a thumb trackball in most any store with electronics. Finger ball is something I’ve only seen online.
