Here's What You Get With a Meta Quest 3S Pre-Order

Here's What You Get With a Meta Quest 3S Pre-Order

Virtual Reality has become more accessible thanks to Meta's Quest devices. Up until recently, the Meta Quest 3 had been the latest device from Meta, but other than being an expensive fun toy to play (or to use to watch porn), it couldn't deliver much. But after Meta Connect 2024, Meta doubled down on VR and released a new, more affordable VR headset—the Meta Quest 3S—as well as upcoming updates for their latest headsets.

The Meta Quest 3S is available for pre-order for $299.99 on Amazon and comes with the upcoming Batman: Arkham Shadow and three months of Meta Quest+ included with your preorder set to release on Oct. 15.

You can think of the new Quest 3S as the budget version of the original Quest 3. It has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, Touch Plus controllers (except there's no ring around your fingers), and runs all of the same apps. The battery life is slightly better (from 2.2 to 2.5 hours according to Meta), it has a button to go from AR to VR, and comes with three camera sensors on each side. However, the display resolution is lower with 1,832 x 1,920 pixels (same as the Quest 2), a more narrow field of view of 96 degrees (compared to 110), and there's no depth sensor.

Meta says the Quest 3S is replacing the Quest 2 and they're ending sales of the Quest Pro, but they will keep selling both older models until they run out of stock. Although the Meta Quest 3S comes out on Oct. 15, the Batman game is not set to release until Oct. 22. The regular Quest 3 will continue to cost $499 for the 512GB version, but will also come bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow.

How to Download All Your Media From Google Photos

Image
Cloud storage has changed the way we take care of our data. In the past, you needed to backup and transfer files between devices directly, or else you wouldn't have them in multiple locations. If you took photos on your iPhone or Android, for example, you'd often want to plug it into your computer to make sure those photos were both backed up and easily accessible for sharing with friends, family, and the internet at large. The problem is, we've changed the way we deal with data these days. If you plug your smartphone into your computer expecting to transfer all the photos and videos you see in your photos app of choice, you might be surprised to find that only a fraction of the images actually make their way to your PC. It's confusing, considering that media is accessible on the phone: Why can it just be a seamless transfer? Google Photos makes it confusing to know which images are stored on-device That's exactly what happened with Reddit user Spax123 , who took

The Best U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs (Aside From the Obvious)

Image
Working in tech no longer means having to live in one of a handful of increasingly unaffordable cities, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. Instead, as jobs involving artificial intelligence and product security, among other areas, continue to grow, cities that weren't previously considered tech hubs now offer opportunities for both tech-related employment and affordable living. Here are a few examples, compiled using data from job market reports and cities, as well as input from tech recruiters and hiring managers. Bentonville, Arkansas Perhaps best known for being Walmart's home city, Bentonville has been on the rise as a tech center for the last seven or eight years, according to Eóin O'Toole, a tech recruiter and managing partner at Riviera Partners . In addition to the big-box store giant, O'Toole says that there's a "surging ecosystem both directly and indirectly related to Walmart," as well as other major employers, like JB H

How to Choose Between Alexa and Google Assistant

Image
If you’re looking to have a hands-free experience with your smart home, you need a voice assistant. By merely talking in the direction of a device enabled with the assistant, you can get information about the weather, time, local businesses, or anything else from their knowledgbase. You can control smart devices or send an email or SMS, and it’s all done by interacting vocally with the assistant, who speaks in a human-ish way. There are three well-known voice assistants: Siri, which is exclusive to Apple devices, Alexa , which is operated by Amazon, and Google Assistant . Since people are generally Apple or Android loyalists , it makes sense that if you run Apple products, you’d stick with Siri for your assistant. For everyone else, which voice assistant should you choose: Alexa or Google?  When it comes to smart home technology, there are two factors to consider: the hub you’ll use to connect your smart devices so you can control them, and what voice assistants you might want to use
