I would assume that wouldn't cause so much contention that the system is unusable, though, right? Unless they're busy waiting.

Framework announced their B-stock systems for $500. That's going to be your best bet for relatively new, upgradable, and kind close to $300.

Otherwise, gonna have to go used, and good luck with upgradability since everyone's been soldering everything on for a decade.

Wind affects all boats, but I may have made an assumption when they asked about it in the context of pirates.

In a situation where wind isn't a factor, and there are no obstacles, this is true.

But since we're talking boats, I'm assuming wind speed/direction is a factor, so the ship that can adjust their orientation and sails to maximally take advantage of the wind could have an advantage.

Sounds like OP is asking about file storage. Video streaming could be spotted using info leaked regarding traffic behavior. But uploading an encrypted file for storage shouldn't leak anything except the size.

Phones are different because your eyes are focusing at a point a foot in front of you, whereas in VR that shouldn't be the case. You're focusing on a simulated point a couple of meters out in the distance, though it is usually is still fixed.

Make no mistake, I'm not saying wearing VR for hours every day is healthy, for your eyes or otherwise, I'm only responding to your claim about screen brightness. I don't think any VR displays have even hit 1000 nits yet, and on the displays that have, that's peak brightness, the whole display can't use all that energy at once, only small sections at a time. Meanwhile the sky is on the order of 10,000+ nits. The brightness of the sun will certainly hurt your eyes at over a billion nits.

I would love for an optometrist to explain why I'm wrong though.

The brightness of the sky outside dwarfs that of any display we can make, much less a tiny VR display. If they could squeeze the nits needed to make a VR screen look like real life into a display that small while retaining the quality, they would.

It might actually hurt your vision because it's not bright enough, much like trying to read under a dim light starts to cause eye strain.

Yep, as much as I benefit from valve's push on Linux, I know it's not out of the kindness of their hearts, it's out of self preservation.

I would gladly use epic's store if it gave devs more of the profits, but it's just incredibly immature. Basic options are missing, and it doesn't support Linux. I can try to work around their shortcomings as much as possible using bottles and proton, but eventually I can't play their games due to their invasive anti-cheat. On top of that, they seem to be building a walled garden of micro transactions that's just a worse version of NFTs. They really don't want me as a customer, and I'm not going to argue.

Good suggestion, there are a few in this genre. Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th are two others. They're made for 5 people, as long as you're ok with one person being the monster.
