  • Found out I’m going to have to find a way to remotely rebuild 5 switches stuck running firmware from 2018. They’re so fucked we’re going to have to go into their pre boot environment and wipe them, then reinstall the new OS, then rebuild the configuration on each.

    Obviously this can’t be done during business hours, but the catch 22 is if something goes wrong when we try to do it we can’t get support until business hours anyway. It’s a pickle.






  • My specific use case is an IT professional that needs a lot of screen real estate but would prefer to live a more nomadic lifestyle. I’ve been toting portable monitors for a while and it works OK, but if something like this negates the need to do that it’d be awesome.

    That’s why I’m saying it’s a niche product, but the thing is they aren’t marketing it as anything else, and the price is ultimately pretty reasonable for brand new tech.

    Edit: ima stupid. The “it” I’m referring to here isn’t the apple vision pro, that’s dumbassery. I’m referring to another headset called visor that will start shipping next year. In theory.



  • Normally I would agree, but the company developing the hardware are the guys that make immersed, which is the desktop integration software all the other VR headsets on the market are using. So if anyone is gonna make anything decent, maybe it’ll be them?

    It seems good in theory, and comes in at like a quarter of the cost of apple’s monstrosity.

    It’s also pretty niche, targeted at professionals who would use it to enhance their workspace than gaming.
