Man yeah I don’t get this one either. Is he putting bees in his dentures? Is there a punch line here?

Oh they turned it into a movie? I missed that that happened
They can’t really just leave a feature to start breaking as updates go on, especially not one that can cause as many problems as VR can.
They’re the same codebase, but they all need to be bought separately from each other. Like, there will probably come a day when Minecraft Bedrock on Nintendo Switch stops receiving updates, but the PS5 version continues on.
For there to be a VR version for them to just stop updating like that, a VR-specific version would need to exist in the first place. They can’t just abandon VR as-is but still have it available to be played like they did with Minecraft on the 3DS because there isn’t a VR version they can abandon.
They abandoned the Gear VR verison, but that was a separate installation from regular Minecraft Bedrock and they could just stop updating that version of the app.
No it’s not like that. Unlike Minecraft Bedrock on PC, XBOX, PS, Switch, iOS, or Android, there’s no VR specific Minecraft version that can be installed. If you have Minecraft on PS4 or PC, VR support is already built in.
For example, Skyrim and Skyrim VR are separate games, but Minecraft isn’t. They can’t just leave the VR version alone because there is no VR-only version and the only thing that determines whether you’re playing in 2D or VR is a flag that’s set on launch.
Edit: Again, discounting the Gear VR version here because they dropped support for it long before Better Together happened and it can only be played on the Gear VR which was basically Google Cardboard.
There’s no real VR version of Minecraft for them to leave be or for people to lose access to. VR is just a feature built into the Bedrock Edition that’s activated by launching the game through a headset.
Unless you count the Samsung Gear VR version. That one’s been left alone ever since the Gear VR fell into obsolescence and can still be played in its unsupported state on an unsupported headset.
I like to rag on Amazon as much as the next guy here, but this article seems a tad misleading. They do still show up when you plug them in. The article even says they use MTP now instead of functioning as a direct USB mass storage drive, which means you can still plug them into your PC and transfer files though File Explorer. Android handles USB file transfers the same way, and that works fine.
Well that’s a shame
Sounds like things are getting tense. I feel like this is just a negotiating tactic by Arm, but man it would sure be wild if they follow through beyond the 60 day notice period.
Surely my 750W PSU and i5-14600K will be enough…
Yeah, I wonder what happened to cause that. Run out of money in the SuperPAC? Legal issues?
What happened to the campaign where they’d pay you to make a voting plan?
Finally getting back to work on Half Life 3
That’s what they want you to think
I know right? They are super good for that and I still haven’t managed to get my hands on one of the ones with a USB cable because of what people are charging for them used now.
If you have any desire to make things or tinker, they’re fantastic. They’ll save you tons of time and possibly money also. I have a bunch of knickknacks and functional printed parts around my house now.
If that’s not your cup of tea though, you probably don’t have a good reason to buy one. It’s also a hobby and if you don’t plan to use it for more than printing the occasional spare part which you could otherwise just buy at a store, I don’t think it would justify the cost.
If it helps, my high school was ahead of the curve on 3D printer adoption. Someone on the staff must have been in-the-know and somehow managed to convince them that the $3,000 purchase was worth it.
I sure am glad that those prices have come way down since then.
I’ve seen both of these videos and never realized they were from the same channel, I guess I need to check out the rest of their stuff haha
3D printing came back at me hard. Getting to use the school printer in high school was cool and now that I’m an adult I’ve bought 3 of my own.
Jolly good show!
