Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.

15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I'm not saying they're good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.

Do not look away from screen while ad is playing, or playback will be paused for 5 minutes for first offense.

Sounds like a problem for governments to figure out

Immigration was always an outsourced bandaid for solving population decline.

Meanwhile Google has always just forced you to go to Google Groups to log bugs in production software.

I have used my pi-hole to blacklist all the oculus, meta and facebook domains, so I don't get firmware update pushes on my Q1.

BUT, I did have a weird out-of-sync issue with Virtual Desktop a few months ago when I thought I had properly version locked.

All I ever wanted my Quest to be was a monitor. The fact that they could brick a monitor because they feel like it's obsolete, is asinine.

I waited to get involved until after the Echoes update last summer, and I truly enjoyed 100+ hours of the game.

It still does suffer from inevitably feeling really empty, with billions of copies of the same 4 different coloured/temperatured planets and 8 creature types, but it was still a heck of an experience.

Thanks. I'm bad at Lemmy, and thought I had included it.
