  • https://www.vive.com/us/product/vive-xr-elite/overview/ 

  • Pretty neat.  Does video pass-through better than anything else ive seen so far (neat but I'm not sure I dig XR/AR yet)

  • Wireless, but still pcvr-able

  • Convertible, rear mounted battery can be removed for a lighter set, with limited battery, but can be connected to a battery on your belt or something

  • Lightweight, with pancake lenses. 

  • Can even do skeletal tracking for some limited controller-free use.

  • Some of these levels are great!  Others.. Eh.. i had one that generated nothing but walls, not a single box.. Some have long gaps where there are no boxes. 

  • I also found https://beatmapper.app/ for editing.. Haven't tried it.

• Super curious about the HTC Vive XR Elite

• Tinkering with AI generated beatsaber levels.

  • I need to test cert renewal. Thanks to my ISP, I can’t use the web (port 80) based method and had to use the DNS text entry to validate. Hopefully renewal just uses 443. (using Let’s Encrypt)
  • I also deactivated my Twitter account once Elon went full anti-vaxx
  • Strike the Earth!
• Did I talk about my tiny Mastodon instance yet?
• Valve released a silly patch for Steamdeck which changed the mount path of the SD card the day after I made changes for shadercache and compdata. Long and short, it’s a damn good thing I know Linux
• So much Dwarf Fortress
• XenoPhage
• Uhh…  Remodeling more?
• Playing High on Life..  What a trip
• Started Cyberpunk 2077 (finally!)
