    I was looking at these too a couple days ago but cheapest option is like $500USD without batteries, camera, radio controller, etc. Half of them are so expensive you have to call for a price and shit.

    Not exactly beginner pricing IMO when you may just crash it anyways






  • Seems like an honest recommendation to me. You fit the apple use case pretty well, so if it works for you, great. I’d argue a stock pixel using stock android would be comparable in terms of not needing to mess with stuff since its a very curated experience, since google then controls the hardware and software, like apple.

    The trade off is you’re giving google (or apple) 100% access and control to everything you do on your phone.

    With a fairphone or any other android with (e, grapheneOS, calyxOS, lineage, etc) you WILL need to change some settings, maybe play around with it a bit to get it working how you want, but you are the one in control. Its really not that difficult to develop the small amount of technological knowledge needed given the amount of help available online and I’d say its a necessary life skill these days just like learning to use a computer became a necessary life skill.





  • I found onlyoffice to have the best compatibility with documents imported from/exported to MS Office. For most people, their coworkers/teachers/professors or whatever will be using MS office, and if the formatting is borked everytime you move the file between libreoffice and ms office users, it gets old fast. That was my experience with libre office and why I ended up on onlyoffice. Of all the suites i’ve tried it has the best compatibility between itself and ms office for formatting.



  • I’ve been struggling trying to get ALVR working on POP_OS 22.04 with a quest 2 and a 3080 for about 12 hours now over the course of a few days. Still getting various errors and it essentially just disconnects and reconnects constantly. I did get it working momentarily (into the steamvr home) using the linux beta of steamvr but it was bugged out anyways and I have been unable to replicate it since.
