The brain controls body weight and obesity by regulating intestinal fat absorption
  • No one gives a fuck about "the points", when are you people going to figure that out? You are the ones harming people by trying to dismiss necessary behavioral changes and real advice because there are technically other factors that you can back up with OODLES OF PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES, HOW CAN YOU INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE LIKE THIS???? No one cares what you studied while knocking out gen ed requirements, get over yourself.

    You're not in high school debate class anymore, you're among people seeking and sharing knowledge that can be of actual use to them. If you're gonna pretend you're in someone's corner and shield them from a false sense of blame, and then REFUSE to discuss actual, meaningful solutions, you are utterly worthless in spaces like this.

  • I'm sorry you guys are getting so much pushback here, lol. I was hoping Lemmy would have less... "Reddit" problems, but the number of dislikes and comments here tells me there's still a LOT of pedantic, self-deluded, minimally educated, credential-worshiping fatties in denial within our community. It's too bad so many give in to their emotions without practicing REAL rationality these days, it sounds like both Lemmy AND these people could really benefit from that ability.

    Please tell me there is a high-quality analogue to this knife

    This is a VERY cheaply built knife, so much so that it's barely worth keeping, let alone carrying. There's not even a pocket clip on it.

    BUT, this combination of form and features is EXACTLY what I've been looking for (with a tip-up clip, that is) in a daily carry folder. The handle and finger protection is there, the blade and handle length fit a perfect middle ground for fighting and practicality, it even has a fuckin Emerson style wave that they don't even bother advertising.

    Unlike most wave openers, this one is set VERY far back, is slightly oversized, and doesn't have anything forward of it (discs, pegs, etc) to prohibit getting your full blade length.

    So if this wasn't so GODDAMN TRASH, I would call it perfect. I haven't seen anything yet, but if there is a brand-name, high(er)-quality knife that is basically this, PLEASE let me know.

    VR Is Changing War & Sex, Why Are We Still Acting Like It Is Just A Game?
  • Stop coping already, it's embarrassing. VR isn't "changing" anything. VR porn isn't "changing sex", and FPV displays for drones aren't "changing war".

    Listen, it's okay that we bought into an over-hyped and ultimately useless tech gimmick that was genuinely fun and exciting for a time. But it does no one any good to constantly try to validate it with this level of inflated importance.

  • On the Quest 3, around what FOV should I be setting VR modded games to?

    This information is shockingly hard to find, and redditors are as confidently, vigorously clueless and unhelpful as always.

    A lot of VR mods for flatscreen games are pretty lazily thrown together, so it's on the user to configure everything correctly. There has to be a general recommended number for first person games on the Quest 3's display, right?

    [Solved] [Win10] How do I prevent a USB docked HDD from spinning down constantly?
  • So the "turn off disks after" setting was already set, and USB selective suspend already disabled, BUT those are apparently overridden for USB connected drives if the "Allow the computer to turn off this device" box is checked for that USB hub in Windows Device Manager (Power Management tab).

    All of those had defaulted to 'on' since I upgraded my mobo, so I think I've got it now.

  • [Solved] [Win10] How do I prevent a USB docked HDD from spinning down constantly?

    I have a full sized HDD in a USB 3 dock, and my power settings inactive timer is set to 300 minutes. This doesn't appear to be applying to the docked HDD, as it spins down in about 5 minutes or less. It takes forever to spin back up when I access it, so how can I change this?

    [Meta/Oculus VR and Windows 10 related] Is it possible to get JUST the oculus xr runtimes for Virtual Desktop without installing the Oculus app?

    I'm trying to use Virtual Desktop with a Quest 3 and want to skip Steam VR wherever humanly possible. Problem is, this isn't possible most of the time because I can't install the Oculus app, which is supposedly required to use the xr runtime and avoid going through Steam.

    The oculusSetup.exe installer crashers before showing any UI on my system (Win10 Home x64), making installation impossible. This occurred both before and after upgrading my motherboard, Intel CPU, and ram kit. I've gone through a laundry list of advanced troubleshooting over the past month or so, and I won't get into that here.

    Instead, I'm really hoping there is a way to run PCVR games/apps through VD with openxr runtimes that DON'T rely on running SteamVR (for performance/latency reasons), WITHOUT needing to install the actual Oculus app on my PC.

    For Libreoffice, are there preset keyboard layouts available to more closely mimic Excel behavior?
  • I found a solution myself, if anyone else is wondering.

    There's an easier way to get the same effect: Shift-Click your cell(s) and drag where you want it/them, then hold Alt before releasing to drop it in place and auto re-order the column.

  • Official Quest 3S Image Leaks Ahead of Anticipated Meta Connect Unveiling
  • Oh no, we're on it for the same reasons. I honestly would be willing to shill the doubled price point of a PCVR headset, but ALL of them (excluding the massively overpriced) have shit-tier displays compared to the Quest 3, which is why I can't quite justify it yet. Of course, if Meta wasn't selling at a loss it wouldn't even be a question, just fuck them.

  • For Libreoffice, are there preset keyboard layouts available to more closely mimic Excel behavior?

    Not much else to say. At the least I want the ability to cut one cell and then CTRL+"+" it elsewhere in the column. I used to be able to reorder items in a column like this without leaving a blank cell where I cut from, but Calc doesn't do this.

    Oculus PC app setup crashes before launching, making installation impossible

    (Event log details at the end) Trying to run OculusSetup.exe from the Meta website seems to be impossible on my home PC, as the installer hard crashes before any UI is even shown.

    As expected, Meta support is completely and utterly fucking worthless. All they know how to do is email you the basic instructions already on their worthless ass website.

    I am running Windows 10 x64 Home, and can be bothered to provide further tech specs if someone provides a specific reason for needing them. I also have Avast AV installed, but completely uninstalling and rebooting made absolutely no difference in outcome or error output.

    No, I am not open to reinstalling Windows.

    Running the installer results in 3 administrative error events :
