So, all it's useful for is being a WiFi TV that has really shitty WiFi related latency for gayming. I will say that the outdoor segment was impressive. I can totally see this tech being used to serve advertisements in the future and have them locked in to place on certain buildings like "holograms" and other augmented reality exploits.
Really gotta wonder why they put the battery bank on like that and didn't find some kind of counter balance mounting solution to keep it all really close together.

Weight on the head is the issue, and moving that weight out of the head helps a great deal. Even with fully externally powered VR, 2-3 hour sessions can be tiring if you're not used to having pounds strapped haphazardly around your face. Even with this compromise solution, a lot of users were reporting strain, pressure, etc from having what is still there slapped on. Balancing might help with face vs back of the head pressure, but none of it will alleviate neck strain.

How heavy is this thing? I might be biased here but anecdotally speaking a Vive or Index never gave me neck strain from long use. I do think that if you're already going to suffer neck strain anyways then it's preferable to have your headset distribute weight on both sides so as to compress your neck in a nice, equally balanced fashion (ie as much battery weight on the back as headset weight on the front).

Its actually quite a bit lighter than an Index, at about one and a half pounds compared to one and three quarters, but keep in mind that the target audience for this is the lankiest of soyboys with necks like pencils. If you've never worked your shoulders or neck properly in your life, that's genuinely enough to cause some significant pain and strain for a few weeks. People who've been returning the headset have been reporting the physical weight as a problem right up there with other rookie VR issues like eye strain and facial pressure points.

I do continue to enjoy the little irony that VR headsets require a modicum of physical fitness to be comfortably used.

The issue with the Vision Pro isn't necessarily the weight, its just that both straps offered in the box are awful. The Solo Knit Band (the one seen in all the commercials) lacks any sort of top strap, something almost every default VR headset strap has. The Dual Loop Band does have a top strap, but from what I've read it's not very well designed and most people don't have great experiences with it.

Farming for sympathy with reading mean tweets, this time with other hosts. Guess which one isn't there to be criticized-ACK!

There's actually some harsh, real comments they read and everyone gets defensive in that smug liberal way where they can't just laugh and accept it. Except, ironically, Linus. And Dennis, who doesn't give a fuck. Riley is called a pedo repeatedly and he can't spin it.

Jake says he lost 70lbs over a year, looks like Sarah took 20 of those.

It would imply that Fiona has hosted anything for the past few months. His last appearance was just a blip of being the tech monkey to get something working, and clearly Linus tries to keep him in the writing closet under lock and key for as long as he can.

Also Dennis is the GOAT, I don't know what critique I could have towards him. He gives absolutely zero fucks 24/7 :story:

EDIT to not doublepost: I skimmed through it a bit and most of the staff is either completely unfunny (Tanner the shit beard) or annoying (Riley), the new zoomer guy that didn't watch Breaking Bad, I can't read him, if he's laughing because he's a good sport or he's a proper sperg and doesn't understand humor, but he seemed to be the least butthurt of them all.

That cannot be said about Linus that got butthurt when the guy was talking about markup and how making the screwdriver costs 5-10$, and Linus, much like Turdeau, answered a question that wasn't asked, which is "why is this screwdriver 80$ and not 5-10$".

It's pretty clear that the commenter is aware of what markup is and that it has to be sold at one, and his complaint was about the markup on Linus' screwdriver being so high. He instead sperged out and refused to explain why is his screwdriver marked up so high, or at least say how much it costs to make it. And then he used Project Farm as proof that his screwdriver is so great, even though it's evident in that review that it's a rebranded Megapro and you can buy the Megapro, stick a neodymium magnet on it Louis Rossmann style and you'll have the benefits of the amazing LTT screwdriver for a smaller price.

And then the meltdown over the tax write-off comments. Linus, buddy, people who say that say it in the sense that you're so much of a noveau-riche penny pinching fuck that you'll gladly do grandeur McMansion renovations as tax write-offs for the sake of paying less, even though you shit gold and you could eat that cost no problem. No one is accusing you of printing money because everyone knows what your money printer is. The main critique is you being a dishonest narcissistic shit that still looks for any way to spend less when buying things that's strictly in the 1% realm.
