E2E encryption is the public protection measure.

Precisely. Headsets for simracing, flight sims or any other immersive entertainment—yay! Headset for an everyday task (recipes while cooking, weather display or whatever) that could as well be solved with putting a phone or a tablet on a stand on your table—why? And it gets worse if there are multiple persons who'd want to use that information display.

Only use case I could imagine is having a huge high res virtual screen for productivity while travelling. But the Apple Vision is way overengineered for just that. For immersive entertainment I'd rather have Varjo for the price.

VKB. Their configuration software is intimidating at first glance (and you better RTFM!), but it's super powerful and allows you to change and tune absolutely everything. Plus the settings are stored in the device so you only need to run the configurator when you want to change something. This is what you get when engineers run the company, not marketing, and they respect the end user's intelligence.

Aside from certain mice, office keyboards and video conferencing stuff, Logitech is trash. Especially when it comes to flight sim and simracing hardware.

At these prices I'd expect at least 32 GB of RAM. 8 GB is for entry level phones and SOHO 2 to 4 bay NAS boxes.

I don’t really know how the different economic classes are defined. It seems like everyone who isn’t either wealthy or homeless likes to believe that they’re middle or upper-middle class.

And that's by design. "Middle class" is pretty much a propaganda term. In reality there's only two classes: working class and owner class.

Like Skyrim this one is far more playable in third person, and I really recommend giving that a try.

Haven't played FO, but hell, no, Skyrim (and Morrowind, and Oblivion) in 3rd person is janky AF. Bethesda games never were meant to be played in 3rd person—I suspect the option is there simply for vanity cam, screenshots and modding.

Third party apps: "OK. We'll show ads. Muted. Behind a black overlay. If we really can't find a workaround."

In 2006, it became possible for anyone to search WorldCat directly at its open website [REDACTED], not only through the subscription FirstSearch interface where it had been available on the web to subscribing libraries for more than a decade before.

So how is this "hacking" if the information is publicly accessible for all?

If brute force ain't working, you're not applying enough of it!

Never thought i'd see words "paintball" and "ultra-high precision" in one sentence... Also, are masks going to be mandatory on the property that has one of these set up? Because someone is going to lose an eye otherwise.

I don't even play paintball, but The Whiteboard has taught me quite a lot about it. And apparently the inventors of this thing know absolutely nothing about the subject.
