50 m fiber optic would be a nice clean option with it possibly having enough length to use some cable clip adhesives to clip along the baseboards instead of taking the direct straight route to the TV where people would be walking over the cable.
These are the type of clips I used to secure my fiber optic hdmi cable to the baseboard to the TV.

Fiber optic hdmi cable works well over long ranges. Do secure cable I just got some cheap plastic clips with adhesive, since I didn’t feel like drilling holes.

If true that does sound like a huge improvement over the Windows anticheat experience.
- Comment on Epic Games Wants Linux Gamers. It's Rebuilding EAC For Fortnite 5 days ago:
Is the OS remaining secure and private with the anticheat that is requiring tpm, secure boot, etc?
Or like the Windows anticheat is it going to be able to access all the files on the PC?
- Comment on Frame deliveries - don't hold your breath 1 week ago:
I’m just waiting and I’m waitlisted. I went years without VR. I want a frame but not enough to buy from a scalper.
- Comment on Steam Frame updates: People in the reservation queue should be able to see if they're getting their frame this year or next. 1 week ago:
People went from being on waitlist to being on reservation for Steam Machine recently, and people got Steam Controllers earlier than estimated time. Steam might be choosing to be more conservative on their estimates so still hope.

Used Thinkpads have been my laptop of choice.
- Comment on [Frame] I have to purchase the accessory replacement kit before I actually need it? 4 weeks ago:
The light blocker is the one that seems insane to me, since it is such a vital part of VR.

Its either one address limitation or none at all, since a company isn’t going to make exceptions based on whether someone is related or not and verify it.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Why would a company care about the distinction. All they care about is limiting it by household.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Roomates or family are members of a household. One unit per address. I don’t see why relations would matter.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Who said anything about roommates not being allowed to have two systems?
Just making the point that when it is hard to even get one system for them to share it makes sense why until shortages are resolved why they’d limit it to one per household.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
When it is hard enough for 1 person in a household to even get one steam hardware to share I’m fine with the one address limit. A household having multiple devices is a luxury when it is hard enough getting even one.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
I have seen those flat games turned VR videos. I think one of the first ones I’ll want to try is Left 4 Dead 2.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Yeah it looks like I’ll be able to hold off on rushing right to Half Life Alyx. The flat gaming stuff looks cool.

I like it because free for all never worked for me and I experienced the worst of it trying to get a gpu during the crypto craze and everyone using bots and alerts to try to snipe something that would go out of stock in seconds.
EVGA game in clutch and did queue system and I got my card for msrp. And I liked it when Valve did it for the Steam Deck.
Hated when Steam Controller did a free for all and ended up wasting couple of hours clicking and coming up empty handed. They went to queue and I finally got one after a few months.
I’d rather wait and if it takes a year or longer so be it, but a free for all approach is one I know I’ll have zero chance at compared to the lotto.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, if I get into vr it’ll be with the steam frame due to refusing to get meta headsets.
I’ll be picking up beat saber and pistol whip since I love rhythm games. Will look into driving, flying, and fpv drone flying games.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I expected much worse after the Steam Machine price and storage and ram costs going up. On the waitlist for the 256 model, but not sure I’ll actually buy it.
I don’t have VR, but I had been interested in Half Life Alyx and Beat Saber.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Less than I expected yet still expensive. But, I would pay more than double to not get a meta headset.

It worked for me. Comments never came back even years later and checking old comment links with gdpr files.
I think reddit has a limit on the amount of comments that can be viewed through your profile. So you won’t be able to delete everything in one go if you have thousands of comments.
You’ll have to do one run rewriting and then after deleting the comments it can. Then wait and do it a few days or a week later when the profiles repopulates it with the older batch of comments that weren’t available before.
- Comment on Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com 2 months ago:
I stayed away from the general popular subreddits that tend to populate /r/all preferring to stick to either hobbyist and tech related subs. I haven’t noticed much change when it comes to places like emulators or roms for example mainly going there to check the wiki and when myrient went down people backing it up and making Minerva.
So I guess if it is the general trash subs that the twitter crowd congregates along with news, the bots and stuff might be more apparent with it being about karma, trying to go viral, and manipulate what users see. But, the more resource oriented ones like Linux or build a pc still seem to be less affected.
I’ve avoided the /r/all crowd for years, which is where the filtering of RES came in so handy along with tagging users to make it easier to know which to avoid even if I’m not logged in to utilizing blocking. Can’t stand the twitter type populace of reddit that has become the main demographic over the years.

Old.reddit UI fills the entire width of the screen, and default view is compact. You see more of the feed at a glance without having to scroll as often. When it comes to comments more of it is displayed when it comes to nested comments before clicking.
New reddit takes up a lot of space. And clutters up the side with stuff like related posts when you check the comment section.
Another big one is reddit enhancement suite which lets you tag and block things only works on old.reddit.
- Comment on Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com 2 months ago:
There’s the proposed theory of 90% of the community are just lurkers, 9% contribute occasionally, and 1% contribute most of the content.
Might not seem like it doesn’t matter, but depends on who are the ones submitting most of the material to the site than lurkers.
- Comment on Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com 2 months ago:
If you want to rewrite your comments you should do it while you still have the chance with something like power delete suite, since it relies on old.reddit.
Best method in the past was getting GDPR files and doing it with shreddit, but getting api keys is hard now.

$2000 :(
I’ll have to pass on it. Wish meta weren’t the main ones making VR headsets. I’ve wanted to play Half Life Alyx but entry cost has been meta or pay more, and I’ve opted for passing on VR.

Hopefully clears before parts go up even more.
