So you are saying that 90s is a remarkable improvement?

I would expect a huge difference in the usefulness of a simulated nose, depending on the content. In a roller coaster the movement of your head (rotation) and the movement of the carriage (translation) are separate and clearly defined this way. You control the Rotation while the game controls the translation. I don't know what this villa demo is, but depending on how the movement is controlled, an unintuitive and unnatural system is bound to make almost everyone nauseous.

All those who get sick obviously stop playing. So if you ask the users, basically no one gets sick. Because those who get sick are not users any more.

If your house is mostly made of wood the same applies to you.

Which part in particular? They were improved in 3.10 and 3.11

With the price of SSDs I'd recommend an internal SSD and SATA or m.2 to USB adapter instead. That way you can choose the enclosure to provide enough cooling, and even open the adapter and add a fan if you really stress the SSD.

I'm pretty sure rpi3 as well.

When I started it worked out of the box on rpi3 already and a year after rpi4 came on the market the firmware was updated to support it there as well. New pis ship with recent Firmware, so they work out of the box, early rpi4 might need flashing.

You'll find plenty of tutorials if you Google "RPI 3/4 USB boot". I run mine from a SSD in a sata-usb adapter. The storage space and peace of mind, not having to fear corruption is definitely worth it (also SSDs are dirt cheap right now (just make sure you have an adapter that supports all block device access modes if you need all the speed you can get, there is one that is not always supported by the adapter)).

(Edit: sorry, only talking about the B+ variant! I don't have experience with other variants)

Sick lamp! A bitch to dust off I bet, but I like the style.

No, with tiling window managers comes great window management!

Glad to see another hanging PC!

It was the only way I could get my monitors connected to my standing desk. Now I only need to figure out if subjecting hard drives to motor vibrations is risky, or if they can handle a bit of shaking when switching between sitting and standing.

You can tell xrandr anything, it doesn't have to be physically connected. So you could get 3960x1080 virtual screen space for a single vertical HD screen. If you move your mouse to the edge of the screen it will scroll what is visible. I discovered it in my triple monitor setup. I turn off screens I don't need (they waste like 30W!), but the script I wrote to notify X11 of these changes doesn't work as reliably as I would like, lol. Also duplicate polybar sometimes, haha.

Not sure how useful this is, because while the application thinks it has all this screen space available you can't actually see all of it at once.

I'm not using it as much as I should be, but it is genuinely a pleasant improvement over sitting all day long. A really expensive chair can do you a lot of good, but nothing beats the mobility of standing. When I read something or watch something I can do some light exercise for my legs, squatting a tiny bit and moving my upper body left and right for example. For a lot of people it can be a good start to moving their body a bit more.

If you go running every other day you don't need it, I'll give you that.

A new RPI should have USB boot enabled out of the box. I know the first year after release you had to update the firmware to get it working, but iirc that is no longer needed. Just burn the image to the stick instead of the SD card and it's plug and play.
