Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

I still miss the Kinect. Shouting at people in Skyrim was awesome. They should have doubled down and added finger recognition for the Series K.

I actually bought an Xbox 360 Kinect for a grand total of £6 the other month.

Turns out you can use software called Amethyst for cheap full body tracking in PC VR games.

Amethyst

That reminded me of AMD's old Windows driver (accompanying software).

How do you connect that weird cable?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago

The ones from CEX came with it, it's an odd adapter that needs power as well.

The adapter is worth more than the camera...

You have to buy an adapter to usb

Same honestly. Like it was a hunk of junk that didn't work half the time, but I think people kinda forget that the scope was pretty ambitious. Being able to scan people's bodies and get each limb's position in 3D, and to do so in many different lighting conditions and room setups, is stuff we still barely have working today even with AI.

Like don't get me wrong, the tech was jank as fuck, but as a kid it was genuinely really cool.
