I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can’t update either?
AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.
Edit:
From the article:
Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.
Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.
Wtf is with all these zombies and skeletons at night? Why is that green guy running at me? Does… does he not have arms? Are those… four legs? What is going on here?
Why not? It costs nothing, appart from transforming the old format into something the current site can work with, or more likely, have the old site support tbe old format.
I’m not trying to be defeatist. I’m just advocating for unions to stop focusing on the local aspect. Transnational cooperation is what is needed in unions today.
Something which larger unions, such as the steel and car industry unions in Europe have been trying (and mostly failing) to do for almost two decades.
Companies, by and large, have used the globalized economy to sidestep local action for almost 30 years now.
Ignoring this is simply a recepy for repeating the mistakes of the past. Especially in software, where there is no physical production equipment at all, and in games, where talent and labour is plentiful.
Unless you have an organization that reaches as far as the companies you’re trying to bring to the table, you will simply be outmanœuvred.
You also overestimate the level of union participation if you think they would need to lay off everyone to break a union strike.
Feel free to tell me I’m wrong, but I’ve been through the proces twice, both involving union action, both in the software industry. Once as part of the workers delegation to the negotiating table. Dismiss a company’s ruthlessness or resourcefulness at your own peril.
Local unions can only hope to hold off the axe until current projects where the required know how can not be rebuilt or transfered in time are done.
One issue is that unions have failed to globalize while industries have. CDPR could simply chose to bypass the union by opening a dev studio in a country with no or less union presence.
Given the recent wave of layoffs in the game industry, they’ll have no shortage finding capable people.
I find that very hard to believe. While it is less common nowadays, many, if not most, mailing list and forum software sent passwords in plaintext in emails.
A lot of cottage industry web apps also did the same.
