Summary
NHS is having a ransomware attack disrupting services including 111 calls, booking in services and more

My thoughts
Before this, it took people a least over an hour on the phone and a while too book in, now it’s going to take twice as long for patients

G_K got a reaction from da na in Virtual Reality on Cows
Summary
Looking through the news today and saw this, this farm is testing out VR Headsets on Cows, at first i thought it was a joke but its true, at the moment according to the news its in the testing faze to see if it works, In the winter the cows produce less milk, so the farmer now is starting to use headsets for the cows so the cows think that its summer being in a virutal summer field, and according to the farmer because of vr, the cows have increased the amount of milk up to 27 liters from 22 liters, inside the virutal world the cows think there eating grass in a feild when there eating the hay outside there pen but they don't know because of the headset on them
Quotes
My thoughts
Looking through the news today and found this for the first time ever, at first i thought it was a joke, but then they said it works and the cows produce more milk from using VR, what do you think of this, true, not true?

G_K reacted to Slottr in Best Razer keyboards for not picking up sounds
You might want to try to play with your gain and related settings then to try and solve this without spending more money. That microphone is cardiod so it's not super surprising it picks up background noise
Outside of this: If you were to buy a new board it looks like their yellows are about what you want. I would recommend searching outside of razer though to find other boards, like a Ducky for instance.

G_K reacted to SimplyChunk in Best Razer keyboards for not picking up sounds
according to your link you want yellows for no 'clicky' sound but that won't solve the sound of the key 'bottoming out' as you strike it. the only way to rid yourself of that is either 'o' rings on each of the key stems OR those little felt pads you can get (i'm not sure where) to put on the key stems
Edit:
That is IF the 'o' rings even fit on a 'box' switch of course

I'm assuming this was the same outage that hit the Steam store?
Edit: I posted this before the thread was merged with another, yes it was

G_K reacted to SavvyMatthew in Is there a VR moving mat ?
Actually check out KAT VR Official Site - Virtual Reality Locomotion Technologies – KATVR (kat-vr.com), Normally make them for Law enforcement, but started doing consumer and enterprise versions recently. Uber expensive, but if you want it they have it.

G_K reacted to Bombastinator in Is there a VR moving mat ?
I don’t think any of them were specifically mats. They were more popular around the turn of the century. The best one was apparently what amounted to a bunch of treadmills. It was huge.

G_K reacted to Bombastinator in Is there a VR moving mat ?
There have been a bunch of them. None of them sold well enough to keep the company in business. One I remember was a dished Teflon bowl of sorts and you wore special shoes. There were others. Generally the more natural they were the more space they took up.

G_K reacted to Jack0f5pades in I want to buy a VR headset but which one ?
The cheapest around is the quest 2, but I have a multitude of personal gripes against that headset. Uncomfortable controllers, the process for setting it up to work with PC is a pain, and the controllers go through AA batteries super fast. I saved for an index and I couldn't love it more. I'd recommend to newcomers the cheapest mainstream HTC headset they can get their hands on, most of the time that's a used OG Vive. If you go with a vive, you can also repurpose the old controllers into makeshift vive trackers should you ever choose to upgrade. Plus, base station tracking will always be superior to inside out tracking, and it's much easier to connect to PC. Again, it all comes down to personal preference. If you don't like having a cable, then the quest 2 with virtual desktop is pretty much the only option right now, despite all its drawbacks.

G_K reacted to RAM555789 in I want to buy a VR headset but which one ?
Been using the Quest 2 since November and I've loved it. I haven't run into any issues with the multiple steam games I've played and its been a pretty enjoyable experience. Only reason I wouldn't see someone getting it, is if they didn't want a FB account. There are rumors of a Quest 3 but apparently thats not expected until sometime in 2022.

G_K reacted to Catsrules in Network Security
If a devices can detect the attack like an IPS system then it can just block the attack. There isn't a need to disconnect your computer as the attack got blocked. I don't see a real advantage of auto disconnecting your computer over the attack that got blocked. If I did that my computer would be disconnecting all of the time. There are a bunch of bots and crap hitting servers and networks all of the time.
If the attack didn't get blocked then it obviously wasn't detected so how exactly is your computer going to know it is being attacked.
