  • Note: this DOES NOT convert the file (obviously) although it will force it to be ‘usable’ in certain cases. If you bring the same file to a program that cannot work with webp format (ex. Da Vinci Resolve), it will crash or not show. To non-creators this is not an issue, but for creators: have fun figuring out which images you’ve saved are actually webp and won’t work later on.

    I know webp has become much less annoying after windows finally added webp support to photos after w11, so ‘advice’ like this tends to work more often than not. Just use a browser extension and convert it properly if you intend to spread an image…

















  • Remember when the Rift and early OG Quest weren’t chained to shitty software forced by Facebook? Oculus was once the gold standard in value for dollar VR experience. Arguably still is - if you intend to use it for half a year after purchase and never again.

    Don’t buy Meta VR sets:

    parts tend to break in time with no easy/existing replacement (ex. Rift S adjustment wheel, specialized unbuyable cable), shitty customer service, they phase out support for perfectly working sets (Quest 1), and their required software enshittifies every year (third party alternatives like OcuTrayTool worked for me before but idk now).

    • signed, former Oculus fan who used them for work and personally bought a Rift S (RIP my beloved)

    The Pico 4 has absurdly durable hardware for a cheaper price too (check out the 1 year after reviews/drop tests compared to Quest 2/3 sets), I’d be so sad if Pico exits the cheap VR market after 4S.
