I'm still using my Rift CV1 which is awful now, I've had the funds to buy an index and use it but I'm not sold on upgrading yet. Pimax just revealed more headsets and I'm still on the fence about best experience for money. It looks like the Rift S is best bang for buck.

Samsung killed Gear VR. It isn't compatible with the most recent phones, and the most recent hardware, from 2017, hasn't been sold for over a year. Google shut down Daydream and Cardboard. There is no longer a phone-based VR offering.

Personally, I have no clue if VR will catch on. I think the biggest thing holding it back is that most people don't want to be cut off from the outside world, and aren't comfortable doing so. More modern headsets alleviate this by allowing you to flip to a camera showing you the outside world, but it still leaves many people feeling very vulnerable when left totally out.

AR solves that, but no one has found a real headset-based AR solution. The original Microsoft Illumiroom demo showed the power (even if it was projector based), but as Magic Leap is showing us, we're probably still a decade from any visor-based AR being worthwhile.

Follow-up: Anti-vaxxers celebrate victory in NJ as pro-vaccine bill falls apart.

Just a couple months ago, my cousin's child (4 year old) became ill, and it dramatically accelerated. In less than the week, the whole family was transferred to an urban hospital, where they were quarantined for days with the sick child, because no one knew what they were dealing with. He survived the nearly fatal, and rare flu with complications, but the hope is that his youth will conquer any long-term effects.

He was vaccinated, maybe a week or two, just before showing symptoms.

No one in my family is up in arms, or suddenly supporting anti-vax... but having seen the emotional toll, and the easy connection of "cause and effect", I can understand the perspective of those that have suffered or lost children in such circumstances.

Did the doctors do a culture and compare it to the vaccine?

Well it's not much of a sequel for sure. All new heroes, and maps, and PvP game modes will also be in Overwatch, and the PvP is crossplay. Seems like all you need to buy Overwatch 2 for is the cooperative PvE modes.

I think this is useless, the human eye have some limits. Can't wait for a demo that will show me a difference on a 240Hz screen vs a 360Hz.

I don't know if this is absolute truth but by my own I also think the human eye have its limits.
