Re: Metadata on smart-phones

Given the wealth of information collected by : - your smarphone OS - your service provider especially when using internet - The different app you use Worrying about the picture metadata is kind of low priority If you worry about this it means that you take picture with your phone and post them on su...

Re: New to the board looking for a new start

And understand that you prospect when/if you want to return will be in all probability less good than when you left. Having spend many years in Cambodia does not always look good on the CV, teaching English experience will be useless and highly improbable that you learn any useful skill here. No pro...

Re: The French and Computers – a tragic relationship

Did you at least used a guest account ? Hard to damage a computer using one of those, well unless you use brute force of course ... Because you’ve mentioned it – if you grant somebody access to your computer you expect honesty and respect, but you can’t expect that of a Frenchman. Yes I did not see...

Re: The French and Computers – a tragic relationship

Is it only me or is it a general truth that Frenchmen and computers don’t go together? When I lived in Cambodia I knew several French guys, and it was always, always the same: “ Hey can I use your computer (or laptop)”? “Yes, please go on”. 2 minutes later the entire system was ruined. Ruined beyon...

Re: Google cardboard

And minecraft... dear god. That games 8bit graphics success is 100% evidence that the videophile aspect isn't the mainstream. That good playability will literally trump everything else.

Re: Google cardboard

Well will see. My bet as for the text editing, excel, power point and other work related task, VR will not be a phone market for simple ergonomic reason. My phone and tablet have the power to run office and such but working with them ? Not really. VR will be IMO more or less the same, plus of course...

Re: Google cardboard

1 The user of the DK2 will tell you that : - resolution is not enough, the oculus have some kind of work done on the lense to make the pixe invisible but still the current resolution is some what weak. - FOV is not enough, 110° is like looking through a scuba diving mask - FPS are accceptable at 75 ...

Re: Google cardboard

Trouble is even if it was possible to up the spec know you would need a 5000$ computer to run the VR helmet. Sigh. You -need- to be right about this, don't you? Did you even read the link below? That's the word from Oculus via Geek.com. Oculus reveals Rift will need a $1,000 PC and possibly $400 fo...
