not quite. attached is a reference for identifying corn. please reach out if you have any further questions.

The two things that are "worse" are that it uses inside out tracking and WiFi 7 for streaming from a pc instead of using base stations and a tether cable. The displays and optics are both straight upgrades and honestly having used a quest 3 I think the inside out tracking and wireless connection are really important for room scale QOL. I imagine the tradeoffs for ease of setup and portability are probably worth it. You're probably losing sub millimeter precision and a couple milliseconds of latency at most. The unit also weighs like half as much as the Index, and neck strain is real.

tl;Dr yes but also no, it depends who you ask

Screwing the pooch

Failing in general

i was scared for a moment that that would be a screenshot of my profile

Edit: with added context, ew, I rescind my self deprecating joke. i don't hate myself enough to compare myself to that

damn perhaps we should do something about the underlying socioeconomic problems that cause homelessness and antisocial behavior. No? just shuffle them around some more? oh, okay.

I believe your faith is misplaced but I appreciate your kind words all the same

And, importantly, if anyone asks how many people know you tell them you distributed proof to your associates and that if any harm should come to anyone in your network that the holoimages go public.

Science can be a bummer sometimes

Definitely tell them. You woukd want someone to tell you.

edit: fair warning I'm not doing great so I'm more prone to doomposting. which this is. anyway:

We Balkanize, the good bits get snatched up by other nation states, and the shit bits get snatched up by private militias. Or, with no conventional munitions left to defend ourselves we start a nuclear war. Or, slim chance here, people vote against this despite Democrats sabotaging the process and then hold them accountable for consistently fucking this up for the last forever, and we reach a kind of degraded equilibrium, american empire declines, chinese empire rises, and MLs tie themselves in knots trying to justify China doing the kinds of things necessary for maintaining a global empire

Oh, and the Enlightenment dies. Like you think its dead now, just wait.

edit again: do not take this comment to be "usa good." this comment is more along the lines of "geopolitics is a delicate balance of influence distributed amongst several world powers, all of which are bad, and the sudden decline of the biggest player creates a vacuum that is sure to amplify human suffering worldwide"
