The problem is Matt Mullenweg, he’s the source of all the drama (and to quote someone else, he’s Musk, but coded in php lol).
There’s a good long form write up here: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire-matt (Sorry, not exactly a tldr, but I found this article this interesting)
Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I was under the impression people paying for the enterprise tier were largely using the model on their own hardware, and that the removal of this tier was largely just rent seeking by SD against people improving on their model and selling access to a better version.
Did SD really sell unlimited access to their compute/ image generator for a fixed price? If so that’s just so dumb it’s hard to believe. I only started paying attention to the company recently though, so maybe I’m missing something.
Gonna guess Wikipedia
To provide a counterpoint, I think it can definitely be worth it to throw together a cheap VR setup for this game.
I personally went through Half-life Alyx on my original Oculus Rift CV1 and it was still an amazing experience. I don’t know where you live, but in my market a good condition CV1 is selling for about 10,000 yen (so that’s equivalent to 65 USD, but your market will probably vary).
This is PC VR though, so you’ll probably want a PC with at least a 1080-class GPU. Once you have the headset though there’s a few games from the same era which had simlarly incredible experiences like Lone Echo.
For me, it didn’t prompt the upgrade when I went to the firmware page, but it did prompt for it when I went into the matter settings page.
I think Switchbot does slow rollouts, but if it’s not available for you yet you can just send them a message in the feedback page of the app and they’ll probably be able push the upgrade to you (I’ve done this a couple of times for previous matter releases).
It’s not thread-based matter to the vacuum directly, but matter over wifi using their Hub 2 as a bridge, but I just tested and it works! The vacuum shows up as a binary OnOff plug, toggling it on starts a cleaning session, and off cancels the session and returns the unit to base.
I should note, I had to update my Hub 2 firmware to V2.0-1.2, which also adds the ability to swap out the temperature and humidity sensors to other devices for being a matter bridge, which is nice.
This article lacks some details, but I believe this is largely just treating a bicycle more like any other vehicle. As far as vehicle crimes go here, the existence of jail time as a punishment only exists if you don’t pay the fine, and these new laws just increase the fines.
Anyways, these changes are largely worthless for a couple of reasons. First it’s already a crime to use your phone while riding a bike, or riding drunk, or riding with headphones, but it’s basically totally unenforced. Same thing with riding using an umbrella, but even the police do that here!
As for drunkards getting home from the bar, they wouldn’t have a car available to them generally, so people riding drunk are usually doing so because they missed their last train, and they don’t want to pay for a taxi.
