Oh please be a stand-alone VR headset. I'm so sick of Meta's awful software!
I have modded Beat Saber and you'd think it would be easy to keep your maps/replays synchronized with your computer. Nope! It's a huge, manual pain in the ass.
If it was running SteamOS I could just create a cron job or systemd timer and have it auto-sync whenever I turned it on. It would be trivial!
The researcher, who asked to remain anonymous because he wanted to separate his professional life from the kink-related work he does, said he gained access to a database containing records of more than 10,000 users,
10,000 users‽
They still keep the originals. They're degrading the quality of older videos for bandwidth reasons, not storage.
Also, it's not because of the price of bandwidth: It's because they can use up so much bandwidth in a given region that they can cause slowdowns (e.g. hogging too much of what's available).
You'll never get the support you need with that attitude!
To add what other folks have said... Banks have a conflict of interest in regards to employees coming back into the office: They hold the mortgages on all that office space. If the work-from-home trend doesn't let up they stand to lose trillions of dollars.
The bigger the bank the more they stand to lose. This is why banks like Goldman Sachs are extremely vocal about bringing people back into the office and grasp at every little thing that can find to back their claims that, "it's better". Even if the arguments they're making are based on 100% bullshit.
Example: You'll often hear big bank executives say things like, "teams that work near each other work better" knowing full well that their global workforce doesn't actually "sit near each other". On any given internal team employees will live all over the damned world so even if every one of them came back into the office they still wouldn't be anywhere near each other.
We know this is 100% bullshit anyway because if they actually stood behind these words they'd issue mandates that huge amounts of employees be relocated to the same physical locations and that hiring could only happen locally. They're not going to do that though because they know what they're saying is bullshit.
Now you're worried about counterfeit Dodgy Dave cheese? Where are you buying your cheese‽
As long as Dodgy Dave passed his mandatory FDA inspections I'd eat his cheese.
You think the big brands don't use industrial cleaner? LOL
I would!

Lenovo has fucktons of resources to do this sort of thing. Probably more than Valve!
Not only that but I guarantee that Lenovo probably has 10x more Linux engineers and developers than Valve working for them full-time, right now.
You've never had Windows insist on installing updates at an inconvenient time? Come on! You're obviously not using Windows that much.
Also, it's not just Windows that does this. Every HP thing (the PC, their printers, accessories, etc) seems to require a bazillion background services and one gigantic background app that just loves to pop up and interrupt everything you're doing at the worst times. Multiply that by any number of other devices with proprietary management daemons running in the background, managing their own updates (because even to this day Windows doesn't have a universal package manager that keeps all software up to date).
This is how it's going to go:
It's the Windows way!
May they adopt AI and lose their fan base.
Nah. They'll just worship their new AI overlords. It's the next evolution of the cargo cult.
The last commit to beepsaver was over a year ago and there's no mechanism to submit scores to anything like BeatLeader (https://www.beatleader.xyz/u/76561198133136058)
I'm sure a better Beat Saber clone will come out some day but without a global leaderboard and support for replays it's unlikely to ever get much adoption (amongst the fanatics anyway, haha)
