Valves failure? Didn’t realize they were done trying.
Re:How to head into VR without wearing a headset on Saturday October 10, 2026 @03:22PM (#50036217)
That’s a a very specific end user experience that has nothing to do with VR.

The tech to do that exists in its infancy at the moment but the compute required to execute it makes it unfeasable.

The hardware is here and the games are here, just because there isn’t something that YOU want doesn’t mean it’s not a mature technology.

A future update may restrict access to your windows or break its ability to get further updates. It’s a matter of time. They just haven’t gotten around to it.

And if you’re thinking you’ll just Google another solution then you might as well spend that time googling efforts for Linux. Windows shouldn’t require constant hacking or tinkering to function.

Or a place that can influence a captive audience. Bots have been known to play a part in convincing people of one thing over another via the comments section. No direct money to be made there but shifting opinions can lead to sales, eventually. Or prevent sales for your competitors.
You mean talk like an ai?
There is also the concern of burning ink/toner. I don’t believe that’s safe to inhale. Inks contain volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.
iOS can play audio with the screen off and doesn’t require YT premium. Bit of an OS hack but it’s just a few taps:

-Start your YT video (from iOS app) -Swipe up to have the floating player while it plays. -Swipe down from top center to bring down your notifications bar. The video will automatically pause but you’ll have the large play button right there. -Hit play -while still on the notification bar screen, and while the audio starts playing again: Swipe down from the top right corner to bring up your control center. - now turn off your screen and audio should still play.

This has been working for me for a while. Don’t recall where i first came across it but it’s been a few years now.

I don’t use it often because I have streaming services with higher audio quality but it’s nice to not worry about accidentally tapping the screen while listening to YT. Esp if you wanna keep the phone in your pocket. Also saves battery juice.

Cheers.
