Holding out to upgrade my 2700x to a 4950x.

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I know all that already from reading up on it but what I'm asking do you even need to use the Index's lighthouses for it to work? Can you just get by with headset alone?

Very interesting! Thought I thought the OG Rift and the OG Index used different ways of tracking with sensors. The index sensors (lighthouses) are in fact just light houses. They plug into an outlet (not pc) and shine invisible lasers that the Index headset reads and sends back to the computer to process headset/controller positioning. The OG Oculus on the other hand, the sensors do the opposite. The sensors of the Oclulus read the laser(s) ammited from the headset and send it to the computer to process headset/controller positioning. So OG Oculus headset dumber so to speak and the sensors smarter where as the OG Index headset smarter and sensors dumber.

Linus's new video ("How Much Should You Spend to play Half Life Alyx?") renewed my interest in VR. Curious if the Valve Index you need the lighthouse stations? I know the Rift S and the Quest doesn't need their sensors though they can help when in dark rooms plus maybe better accuracy and input lag. Just curious if you could get by without the lighthouse stations on the Valve Index as well. Couldn't find anything definitive on google. Currently own the original oculus rift and thinking now that stuck at home it may be fun to get an index.

I find it funny (and a little annoying from the self righteousness displayed) how youtubers are popping up who analysis and critic other bigger youtubers of their channel & drama.

Lul true. I still bought one last week when on sale just for the fun of it. Dirt cheap. Be fun to try.

ExpressVPN seems like the only good VPN anymore.

Or maybe AMD should hire those ex Samsung engineers for their AMD K12 ARM based cpu. Than maybe they could scale it down for mobile. That is if AMD K12 is still being worked on and not yet abandoned.

Please AMD, I need a Zen 2 (6 or 8 core laptop with good GPU capable of gaming) and don't want to get Intel. Due for a work laptop upgrade next year and can basically get what I want company funded, but I'm not going to skimp just to support AMD. It would pain me to have to get Intel so I'm desperately hoping they will have something good by than that isn't a giant brick of a laptop. Something like a razer blade would be ideal.

WTF Did you do to my quote. I said "I just installed Manjaro last night and it most definitely is not." Not what you just quoted which is "I just installed Manjaro last Tutuapp 9Apps ShowBox night and it most definitely is not. " Like what wtf is all that crap. You trying to link to malware?

@dalekphalm. Oh trust me. I've tried quite a few different underwear brands (again not a "doof"), but so far the LTT ones are the best as far as comfort/material goes and yes the design is cool but I am looking for something exact or very similar but with a different design for reasons stated. If you can't see my viewpoint or think this is crazy than I guess I'm sorry. I tried explaining it but guess some people just wont get my point of view and that's fine. Was just hoping for a quick response that would lead me to something I was looking for. Guess my search continues although at this point I may just go all LTT underwear Thanks all for your time and willingness to jump in! And thanks @LinusTech for your response. You get it or at least somewhat understand that what I'm asking isn't as absurd as it appears some people think it is. And yes! Part of why I'm compelled to find something different is based on my own personnel experiences and situations which means no one can truly get where i'm coming from. Well without maybe expanding this thread more with explanations but alas there are more important things to defend/attend to. Which makes me all the more grateful for your bit of valuable time given to this thread.

Wow, everyone is just not seeing my point of view but it's okay. I will address this one though. Your logic is sound and seems obvious (trust me i'm not dense or to use your words, "a doof", and can think very logically. Hence why i'm a software developer cause I enjoy logic and think in practicalities a lot) BUT maybe the reason, that you didn't think of, is that I need to replace the underwear that I don't wear to the gym. Ever think of that? Well I did cause that is exactly what I'm trying to do. My other undeies are old and need replacing. There you have it for this statement.

har har.

It is different, true. Hence why it's an analogy. Its not going to align perfectly. I still think there is some level of truth to what I'm trying to express even if you guys don't agree. Sure a girl that immediately doesn't like me for my underwear is shallow AF and I'd agree, she is not worth my time but what if that and a series of other minor turn-offs at the start kills what could have been a great relationship. Should I try not to hinder those things from happening so that when the right girl comes along I can put my best foot forward? Like you could argue, I hate showering so I shouldn't shower so I shower once a week and a girl should just see past that or she is shallow AF. So all in all there are some gray-lines and it's not all cut and dry. (btw I love showers though!) Enjoyed this discussion

I agree. But it's all about that first impression eh? Like a girl shouldn't care if I fart but letting one rip the first time or few times we meet well now that's embarrassing and not a good way to try and get into a relationship. Overtime though she may see better and more attractive qualities of me but that first impression is important. Man this has really been fun explaining myself. (*sarcasm). I'm sure there are some things you'd care for some not to know about you right away due to maybe some bad stigmas.

Nope. They're elastic but with no strings. I get alot of group attention at the gym, and my clothing has been commented on numerous times so I've gotten rather self-conscious of what I wear. It's a rather well attended gym and we all work out as a group with pre-planned exercises.

But it can happen. It's alot of movement and chances are higher of it happening (it has for me a few times actually, and yes maybe some could be accounted for doing it wrong but sometimes it's unavoidable with different circumstances). Maybe I just buy tighter outer shorts. idk. Anywaaaaay. see other reply I just made. This was supposed to be a simple ask and I'm definitely not stressing out about it, cause yeah not a huge deal

Wish everyone saw it like you and i do. It's unfortunate how judgy the world is. Like I'm just worried someone will jump to conclusions about me and not give a fair chance to get to know me. But thanks for putting some common sense into me guys. I probs way overthink it as I tend to do on alot of things. Also, it would be nice to get some other styles but yeah not a huge deal, guess i'll just buy more LTT undies.

Fair enough I basically wanted some I could wear to the cross-fit gym without immediately scaring the girls with my inner nerd Edit: Thanks btw!

Yo, I do cross-fit so chances of my pants slipping down a bit and exposing them are high. I think they're cool but dem hot gym girls be like "ew". Well most likely they'll be like that. Hasn't happened yet but I also try to not wear them on those days. ?

So I got some LTT underwear and I loooooove them. I want more since they are so awesome. Thing is, is I don't want anymore "nerdy" underwear. Does anyone know the supplier of the LTT underwear?

See other reply to other comment. Holy shit I just pissed on a linux distro. THEY'S COMING FOR ME!! (*Sarcasm)

Well the steam install quit several times for some reason, sound would try and play through my monitor speakers even if i set my headset set as default, and trying to figure out how to install Vivaldi was a pain. Not available through the default repository (had to go through AUR). Also, wtf isn't spotify available to install through the package management system (going to work on it this evening but it was late last night and went to bed)? BTW this is a very up to date computer with very popular and not cheap components so its no potato.

I just installed Manjaro last night and it most definitely is not.
