    Florida department of health posts updated COVID-19 booster guidance that is just a list of anti-vax conspiracies
  • If you had anything useful to contribute I wouldn't think twice about it, but you're clearly just trying to pick a fight.

    I dunno what you're going through that's got you in that mood, but I hope it clears up soon.

    Sex life ruined, claims man stung in testicles by scorpion at Las Vegas Strip resort: lawsuit
  • Apparently they are arachnids.

    A quick search also seems to indicate that they fall under the umbrella of pest control, and the article suggests "they were on notice that there were prior issues of scorpions at the subject property", so it seems like the hotel was reasonably expected to provide scorpion-free accommodations, lol

  • Today I learned there are ~40 species of scorpion endemic to California 😬 edit: the incident occurred in Vegas, not California, so I totally misread, but still!

    Apple Vision Pro’s Eye Tracking Exposed What People Type
  • Touch typing. Like I said I cannot find any reputable statistics. touchtypeit.co.uk claims "according to research" it's less than 20%, but does not actually link any specific research. There are some other sites like it that are trying to sell you a product and list a low percentage, but I can't find any actual studies or statistics

    Apple Vision Pro’s Eye Tracking Exposed What People Type
  • From the article:

    Your eyes are your mouse when using the Vision Pro. When typing, you look at a virtual keyboard that hovers around, and can be moved and resized. When you’re looking at the right letter, tapping two fingers together works as a click.

    So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.

    I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you're wearing it. You can't see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can't find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill

    After charger, Apple removes USB-C cable from the box
  • On the contrary, I've had a USB cable last multiple phones before. I think the trick is to avoid using it when it's plugged in as much as possible. Another common pitfall is that microfiber (pocket lint) can build up in the charging port over months and years, resulting in a poor connection. You can usually remove this by turning the phone off and using the tip of a wooden toothpick to gently scrape out the lint.

    I definitely think they should include a cable in the box though.

    Banning Spree?
  • I wonder if it's the same user who has almost exclusively dominated the front page of the sub with memes in the last day or so. Going back a couple pages, there was a lot more variety and nuance in the content. Subject matter notwithstanding, it looks like someone terminally online going on a power trip.

  • that "virtual keyboard" sounds awful, glad the flaw was caught quickly lmao I would just use a regular keyboard while in the headset, but I suppose that doesn't work for most people who need to look at it to type.

  • Title. I found out recently that I need some major dental work in the near future and I don't have a damn clue how I am going to raise the extra money. I want to explore any realistic options for increasing my earnings before I have to resort to taking on debt, and I suspect that soliciting ideas in a semi-public place like this will turn up a lot of ideas I would never have considered myself.

    I'm not very physically fit, but I am pretty good with computers generally, and I've picked up a little bit of programming in my free time this year, though I wouldn't sell myself as a freelancer in that department or anything. I am also pretty good at proofreading / nitpicking things, my regular job is in QA.

    Thank you in advance for any input.
