Those $1000 chairs are not uncomfortable. A lot of the price is also the warranty and they are much cheaper for a business bulk purchasing.
I love picking up Aeron or similar stuff used. They’re great chairs and a used one isn’t any more expensive than those horrible racing style chairs but will actually last and be comfortable for over a decade. My current one is a 2006 model and still going strong.

1·1 month agoAre you purely having trouble with this old Xbox controllers? I’ve got 3 controllers on my deck, 2 8bitdos via dongles and one Xbox via Bluetooth. They all work fine, though one of the 8bitdos required an update first.

1·2 months agoIf by disparity you mean sometimes Windows is better and sometimes Linux is better. I have one of those GPUs. Give it a try before you slam it. Valve has thrown so much money into Proton that support is amazing compared to when I tried a decade ago.

4·2 months agoSwapped to CachyOS
Pros:
- Super easy OS install
- Good tool for installing steam
- Most games play fine but knew this already from my steam deck
Cons:
- Struggled to find how to setup services like Jellfin, SABnzbd, etc. Not as simple as just installing them on windows, but not bad once I figured out how services work.
- Heavily modded games like Total War Warhammer 3 were a pain since the modding tools are designed for Windows. Got them working, but stability was worse.
- No Virtual Desktop for my Quest 3. I’ve heard I can get VR working on it, but only for games.
- Getting write access on my existing NTFS drive was a pain. Read access worked, by I had to change ownership from root on all files to allow changes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment ratesEnglish
221·4 months agoSpeaking for the US, major universities may be there for research, but they are a small portion of the mass of schools across the country.
People have mostly been getting degrees to get a good job since at least shortly after WW2. It’s silly to pretend people are going massively in debt without the expectation of a return on that investment.
Nothing against people learning for the joy of learning, but I absolutely hold schools accountable for not making job prospects clear when most of the students are both young and ignorant of the world.

What they showed could speed up construction but there are tons of other steps involved.
I do wonder how sturdy it is since it doesn’t look like rebar or anything else is added.
