Best thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.

It really is shocking that they could somehow get more mainstream

Oh yeah it’s 100% just a preference thing on my part. I grew up watching ENT with my Grandpa, he loved all versions of Trek but for some reason loved ENT the most, so Archer just has a special place in my heart. Sisko is awesome too though, no shade toward him at all.

One of the cases where piracy can mean preservation

Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

Trusting Google to oversee your privacy is like asking a grizzly bear to make sure no one eats this big pile of fresh salmon

Honest question: why?

Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.

Transparency: I’m someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too…what a waste of time

Well if it’s a soulless corporate cash grab, at least it’ll be just like the game

I haven’t been to youtube.com or opened the app in ages. I switched to FreeTube and haven’t looked back. That’ll last until they restrict API access, anyway.

They tested that on me months ago and I downloaded FreeTube in response. Haven’t looked back. Fuck them for trying to tell me what I can and can’t do.

Awesome, this is long-needed. The SteamVR interface sucks. Hopefully this is a dramatic improvement.

That’s all any tech demo is. They have to draw interest in order to continue developing the technology.

Tech news sites quietly use this word too much

I don’t believe that stat, based on my own personal experience. I’ve been a VR user for close to 10 years now and I’ve introduced many, many people to it. I’ve only had one person feel sick in any way in that entire time.

Ironic coming from a guy who uses a very clear formula on the majority of his movies.

Nope, I have been a PC gamer for about 30 years and I love emulating classics from the past. It’s not as challenging as folks around here seem to think. I guess sometimes people just have a hard time accepting that there can be multiple ways of doing a thing, even if they are unaware of some of those ways. Emulating XP might seem like a big deal for someone who is new to the idea, but personally I have been emulating XP for decades, even when it was the modern OS, along with many other types of OS, so it’s a matter of rote for me at this point. I wouldn’t even consider XP to be old enough to be a challenge - try emulating some of the original Linux distros, or an OS you’ve never heard of for that matter. That’s where the challenge can come in.

I love that so many people have an opinion on this subject though. It just affirms that new ideas are out there for those who want them. Happy learning!

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Personally I find the process to be much simpler than what you described, but I guess it comes down to knowledge and experience in that area. Happy learning and good luck with all that!
