Here's something from VentureBeat for you all to rage on :)
To save you some time, in the setting up section they suggest to install ollama and then do ollama run qwen2.5 to get a model running, which by default will give the user Qwen2.5 7B at Q4_K_M. As we all know, this is exactly the same as the $200 subscription for Claude...
From the release notes:
Introduce the "Intel Default Settings" and enabled as default, user needs to disable it first to use GIGABYTE PerfDrive profiles
How do those settings look like and perform? I remember from some of the videos checking the original/previous fix in August the the Intel defaults on Gigabyte boards used incorrect settings with K CPUs and the performance was abysmal. Is it still the case? Because if yes, what is the point of having the fix if I have to disable the settings with the fix in order to get resonable performance out of the CPU? Reasonable as in the default that a 13700K should have OOB without OC.
Is this still not possible? No working adb commands to change the render resolution or something like the Oculus Game Optimizer available still? Some of the games could really do with a resolution boost and the SoC is obviously capable as these are Q1/Q2 era ports like Smash Drums or Arrowhead. I know I can get them on the Q3, but I like to play these on the P4 for some reason and I already have them there.
What's up with the Quest 3 availability in Europe? Looking at the German market almost no one has it in stock, Amazon is quoting delivery times in month and specifically at Amazon they don't have any at all, because all regional Amazon sites are quoting long delivery times as well (es, fr, it). This is for the 128GB model, the 512GB is even worse, only one retailer has it available and Amazon does not even quote delivery times, they simply say not available at the moment.
Anyone has experience with the Pico 4 Enterprise? The automatic IPD adjustment seems like a handy feature to have when more people use the same headset. Is there any consumer/commercial software out there that is using the eye tracking feature for functionality or for dynamic foveated rendering?
What s going on with the PC download speeds? They are abysmal. Takes minutes to patch 70MB. Seems to be going on for a couple of days, found two threads about it:

The behaviour is basically the same as show on the screenshot here:

I bought Walkabout on the Pico 4 a while back, but haven't played the native one because of the low-res graphics, I've rather streamed the PC version. I've seen there is an update on the Pico 4, so I've updated it to 4.0 and I was glad they use high resolution now, but I've also noticed the language switched from English to German. While searching where to switch it back I found that under Settings -> Profile there are now two profiles that I have definitely not created. One of them has a bunch of fancy golf sticks as well, the other just the basic one in different colors. What exactly is happening there? Anyone seen something similar?
EDIT: It seems the latest update linked the d

How is the fan noise on your Pico 4? My one spins up shortly after starting up the HMD and is pretty loud. It is like that since the beginning after the OS update installed. First start out of the box, setting up the account and going through the rest of the setup was fine. Then the OS update was offered which I did and after the reboot I noticed the fan spinning up shortly after getting into Home and it is pretty loud. Similar noise to the small fans from Dell/HP/Lenovo office laptops when they get under load (not the full speed, but the one you notice after them being silent before).
Anyone knows what happened to Link on Quest one and when? On the Performance HUD for Link for encode/xfer/decode it used to show 2-5ms encode (depending on the game), under 2ms transfer and around 8-12ms decode latency. All lines were nice and flat except the small jitter. This was still the case yesterday with the PC software updated to v46 but the Quest still on v39. The Quest updated itself to v46 as well overnight and now the Link stats are weird. Encode is now firmly in the 4-5ms area, transfer is up there with encode (the graphs overlap) and decode is jumping between 0 and 8-12ms constantly, it's graph looking like an earthquake graph. Same behaviour on two different machines with both
I see here that there has been a bunch of releases for the Go even this year up to 18.05 in September:

My one never got past 18.0, always said that is the latest. Now I have noticed it says there is an update with a curious version number of 20008405something. Anyone knows what's that about?
The model has been out for a while as well as Windows 2004 has been out for a while. How is it looking with unlocking the update for the device? Windows Updates shows not available yet and the standalone update tool says the reason is that the update would mess with the recovery partition? Is there a chance this will ever be fixed? Or if it is not possible to fix then at least have an option to install anyway while acknowledging that the partition will be gone and there is no way to run the vendor supplied recovery afterwards? It would be nice to be able to install the update without wiping the whole machine and installing Windows from scratch especially with the way the device drivers are (
