Is the Vision Pro worth it? 5 Days Ago by Dani Is the Apple Vision Pro worth it if I already have an Oculus Quest? I'm not a big gamer, but I have my entire wedding recorded in VR, and I love watching mini-movies and shows in 3D VR. My husband is into things like Red Matter. I honestly don't remember if I have a Quest 2 or 3. Cost-Effective Digital Marketing Ideas for New Startups? 3 Days Ago by asadalig … know what brings the best results without draining resources.

Or Is That Just a Myth in 2025? 5 Days Ago by asadalig In 2025, cross-platform apps aren't inherently slower than native ones—it really depends on how they're built. Modern frameworks like Flutter, React Native, and Kotlin Multiplatform have closed the performance gap significantly. If developers optimize properly, most users won’t notice a difference. However, for extremely high-performance needs like… Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 5 Days Ago by Reverend Jim You probably have a Quest 2. My younger son and I really enjoyed Red Matter 2. My goto game is In Death Unchained but I still do a little Beat Saber now and then. I used to use BigScreen to watch movies but now I find the Oculus TV app better as I can easily change the viewing angle, and the warped/wrapped screen is a plus. I can't imagine the … Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 5 Days Ago by Dani Oddly, you are required to go through an hour long tutorial/demo at the Apple Store before they will sell you a Vision Pro. I haven’t had the patience as of yet. Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 5 Days Ago by rproffitt One of my sons spent a lot setting up some other VR gear. And then broke his TV playing a game (punched the TV). 3 years later it sits in a box because it's out of date and new models that are worth buying are not worth buying (not going to rewrite that.) For me, not worth it. Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 5 Days Ago by Dani > some other VR gear Was it not a Quest *or* Vision Pro? I didn’t realize there were any other quality VR headsets on the market. Also, make sure to always play with plenty of space around you. I can’t speak for the Vision Pro, but the Quest is very good at immediately letting you know if you or your arms are approaching out of the gaming… Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 5 Days Ago by Reverend Jim I usually put a square tile in the middle of the floor to stand on when playing Beat Saber. Eleven Table Tennis doesn't need it because I orient myself to the VR table. I play In Death Unchained seated because there are too many vertigo-inducing places in the middle world where I could easily fall over. Some of them make my feet tingle. Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 4 Days Ago by Dani I find it vertigo-inducing to be sitting!! I simply cannot handle when what I see simulates me moving (e.g. walking in a room), but my physical body is not moving. It's fine if things are moving around me, but if *I'm* meant to be walking, I need to be physically walking in order to not get sick. Re: Is the Vision Pro worth it? 4 Days Ago by Reverend Jim I still get vertigo at times when sitting (like jumping and landing on the edge of a cliff) but at least I can't fall down and crack my head. Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 2 Days Ago by dnBunnie the app "Everything" after Comodo Internet security Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 2 Days Ago by Reverend Jim I agree. [Everything](https://www.voidtools.com/) is always a definite install after imaging. It's something that should have been built into Windows.

They all lived and worked on a ranch. Well, the old man called it a ranch even though he only raised vegetables. But while profitable, the sons always wished it to be a proper ranch with cattle where they would raise meat instead of turnips. One day the father died and the sons inherited the business.

Then I repartition to C/D, move my user folders (documents, pictures, etc.) to D. Then I take another image. After that I begin installing my base apps before imaging one more time. Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim Further note: Because Microsoft insists on crammine OneDrive down our throats, moving the My Documents is damn near impossible.

Before OneDrive it was easily done. Not anymore. Microsoft is slightly brain dead. Locations for shell folders are stored in the registry.
