I like my U11 and M8.

Flip touch screens are such a strange concept to me. Seems like just more chances to break.

Is it not being sold by Facebook and Zuckerburg? That's a huge selling point.

The best selling point of any other VR system aside from specs is that you aren’t giving any money to Meta. I sold my Oculus after FB acquired them.

What's a good, cheap fullframe camera for strictly photography? I was eyeing up the Nikon Z5 when it came out, but a lense and everything would total $2000+.

A generation is pretty far.

Better graphics.

For instances as large as a government sponsored genocide? Pretty easily. Journalists were reporting on it in real-time, so there shouldn’t have been that big of a problem even if it needs to be done manually. You don’t need to view every single post. Just monitor trends and what your algorithm is promoting. Then it’s a matter of stopping keywords and banning the biggest offenders.

Take the anti-COVID vaccine conspiracy theory cons that spread during the pandemic. 65% of anti vaccine conspiracy content originated from just 12 users, so a huge chunk of that could have been cut out by simply banning 12 people, yet Facebook did next to nothing, because that content was a huge driver of engagement. Facebook knew it and chose ad revenue over moderation because they weren’t liable for the content.

Social media is media. Letting the companies off the hook for the content they host was a huge mistake.

They started to sell them in east asia like today.

This comment is confusing because you included the word facebook. Before you had to connect your facebook account to your oculus device. Now you only need to make a Meta account which isn't connected to any accounts. You can also transfer your games over from your facebook account to your meta account.

Looks much better than the Index to me

so not a index competitor? not really something i'm into then

This is correct.

How do you catch and delete that hate speech when you have 2 BILLION people using your site everyday?

Awesome. I love my HTC vive, and I’m never touching meta’s stuff. Excited for the next gen from anyone who isn’t meta.

In addition to all the cool stuff the top comment who responded to you said, I think this also fixes issue with flash syncing. That is to say, sometimes if you try pushing your shutter speed too high on a camera with the other kind of sensors, flashes that come from things like speedlights could start producing strips of darkness in your image because the sensor is capturing part of the image before the flashes go off, then part of it when the flashes are actively going off. My understanding is that a global sensor would allow you to shoot at higher shutter speeds with speed flashes as long as the device you’re using to sync them to the camera is also fast enough to handle that fast of a shutter speed.

I know very little about digital photography (analogue photographer here) so I could be completely wrong, but that’s what I’m inferring based on what I do know.

I’m my life I try to avoid Facebook, errr I mean Meta as much as possible. I’m excited to see a different tale on portable VR

Lol definitely don't talk logic on reddit when it comes to bashing Meta. Gave up on it long time ago. People just spin narratives nonstop and make up echo chambers in here and anyone who speaks out will get downvoted. You can see people asking clarification above are already downvoted to negative. Reddit is way more toxic than FB ever was

Leaf shutters solved rolling shutter for still images a long time ago, but they cannot be used for video.

Film video cameras use rotary shutters while digital video cameras do not use any mechanical shutter at all. The rolling shutter effect in digital video is a consequence of not being able to do a readout of charge on all photosites at the same time, or more technically, fast enough that it doesn't matter.

"Global shutter" in this sense is not a mechanical shutter. It's technology on the image sensor. Maybe a better term is global electronic shutter. Unless it's a fundamentally different tech, this would work the same as any image sensor, just faster. A good image sensor these days will complete a readout in under 20ms, so if they are calling this much better than what they already sell to the point they brand it as a 'global shutter', I would guess it's in the range of 1ms or so.

Their UI was completely unmatched even compared to today. Everything was so intuitive, also their laser camera focus made for the best video experience I've ever had in a phone. Sigh. Another thing Google destroyed.

I’m waiting to see what Valve comes out with

After the holidays, right before CES
