I'm under the impression that VR/AR-headsets will only proliferate once the technology allows to make them minimal, portable, unnoticeable, and cheap. There's a social element in the massive adoption of technology that seems trivial. So, the contemporary commercial efforts seem more like marketing, vaporware, and the desperate need to keep profits up when the interest rates keep also going upwards...
What you think?
Thanks in advance for your insights.

Actualmente en un mundo cada vez mas separatista, viene muy bien escuchar este tipo de propuestas.
Aunque reconozco tener mucha desconfianza de cualquier cosa proveniente de la #ONG #LinuxFoundation, pues ya se sabe que no es nada mas, ni nada menos que un caballo de Troya de las grandes IT como MS... para intentar debilitar al mundo detras de la #FreeSoftwareFoundation o mejor conocida como #FSF, en esta ocasion le dare un micro-voto de confianza.
¿Y por que tener esperanzas en un proyecto o iniciativa donde aparentemente solo tomaran parte grandes conglomerados empresariales?
Para entender mi punto de vista, hay que ver de que se trata: Basicamente se tomara el chip o procesador RISC-V (que hasta ahora es un #hardware de codigo abierto) y se le añadira toda una capa de apps para introducirlo de lleno en el mundo comercial, es decir, aunque es poco probable, pero podria pasar que para el 2024-25 tuvieramos novedades sobre telefonos moviles o routers o computadores de mesa u otros dispositivos corriendo con este procesador.
Esto obviamente no significa que los usuarios finales podamos simplemente meter nuestras manitos y hacer lo que se nos venga en gana en esos dispositivos, pero tengo la esperanza que algunos devs o desarrolladores puedan tener la oportunidad de poder interiorisarse en este tipo de hardware y que se aproveche su gran capacidad, ya que siendo de CODIGO ABIERTO, significa que la posibilidad de puertas traseras y vigilancia se reduzca notablemente o que al menos sea descubierta con mas facilidad.
Ademas, por ser de codigo abierto, teoricamente (sabemos que de empresas como samsung no podemos esperar nada extraordinario) deberian haber menos restricciones para que devs externos/independientes puedan ejecutar mas y mejores apps sobre ellos.
Lo que mas me gustaria -eso si- seria ver modelos de laptops corriendo RISC-V en vez de esas atrocidades de bugstel o amdbug.
Por logica puedo tambien comenzar a creer que la #privacidad desde la perspectiva del usuario final pudiera ser mejor protegida... solo el tiempo nos dira si mis espectativas se cumpliran o este proyecto nunca llegara a puerto, ya que las grandes lo encuentren demasiado peligroso para sus objetivos.
Por otra parte, RISC-V si se llegara a convertir en un producto viable para las IT, seria una bofetada a todos los paises que buscan "patentar" y cerrar con 7 llaves la tecnologia para controlar el acceso a ellas. No por nada, en esta solucion incluso estara presente el gigante chino ALIBABA.

I have received the tiny Japanese netbook! Shipping was surprisingly fast, the netbook actually arrived before the replacement SSD (I'm going to dual boot Windows 10 LTSC and some flavor of Linux). Just running a quick driver backup first, since Nanote doesn't seem to make their drivers available for download.
It turns out that the fabric seat cover, and/or the gas suspension creates such a strong electrostatic discharge (ESD) that my screen shuts off for a short time.
The solution? No idea yet, but it seems that insulating the chair with copper foil and connecting it to a socket (ground) might help, as you can see here:
