This means it will no longer use its shareholder influence to dictate corporate strategy, nominate directors, or push environmental and social proposals that could reduce company profitability.Expanded Proxy Voting: Vanguard will expand its "Investor Choice" program to funds representing at least 50% of its U.S. equity assets. This allows individual investors—rather than the firm's management—to decide how their shares are voted on major corporate issues.Protection for Energy Industries: The lawsuit alleged that Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street formed a "cartel" to suppress coal production and drive up energy prices.

These funds are passive investors, and as such our funds' proxy voting policies are centered around corporate governance practices associated with long-term investment returns. Before we begin this engagement, we want to be clear that the Vanguard-advised funds have no intent to influence company strategy or operations or the control of the company. Nothing we mention or discuss during this conversation – or any engagement with [the company] – is intended to imply that our support for any director is conditioned upon the company taking action on any matter discussed. We are also not able to discuss any voting intentions prior to the meeting.'”“Vanguard agrees to provide Plaintiffs with the following discovery materials relating to the Action from the 2020 to 2024 period:” - this is the part where the AG of Texas, who was literally investigated for corruption and impeached, demands that Vanguard snitch on any group Texas asks them to about climate-y things Texas doesn't likeVANGUARD IS A FUCKING SNITCHTRIGGER SPEED ROUND - rate how triggering on a 0-10 scaleAISomething Very Alarming Happens When You Give AI the Nuclear Codes - 10/10The three AI models were instructed to choose actions as part of an escalation ladder, ranging “from diplomatic protest to strategic nuclear war” and measured in a number between 0, meaning no escalation, and 1000, signifying “full strategic nuclear exchange.”The results were Skynet-level aggressive.

Wenn die Berechnungen einer Experience auf einem Computer erfolgen und diese dann an ein Headset ausgespielt werden, dass mittels eines Kabels oder auch kabellos mit dem Computer verbunden ist, dann nennen wir das Personal Computer Virtual Reality. Oder kurz: PCVR. In der heutigen Episode sprechen wir über PCVR! Was erst mal nicht besonders spektakulär klingen mag, es aber doch ist: Denn es ist das erste Mal, dass wir diesem Thema in über 120 Folgen eine eigene Episode widmen. Natürlich haben wir hier und da schon mal über PCVR gesprochen. In dieser Folge wollen wir uns dieser "Nische in der Nische" in aller Ausführlichkeit widmen. Warum jetzt? Die Versprechungen von Stand-Alone und Mixed-Reality als das, was uns zum Mainstream führt, konnten nicht eingehalten werden. Doch PCVR wächst nach den aktuellen Steam-Statistiken unbeirrt weiter. Es gab noch nie so viele unterschiedliche Headsets, die so einfach anzuschließen waren. Es gibt viel Content, und es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Für Tüftler, die sich in den Einstellungen vergraben wollen, als auch für jene, die einfach ihre Meta Quest 3 an den Computer anschließen wollen. Jemand, der sich intensiv damit auseinandersetzt, ist Stefan Berger. Der Content Creator aus Dormagen hat sich in seinem Hobbykeller ein PCVR-Nerdhöhle gebaut, aus dem er seine beiden YouTube-Kanäle befüllt. Er nimmt uns mit in seinen PCVR-Werdegang und hilft uns zu verstehen, was PCVR eigentlich ist und warum die Grenzen schwammiger sind, als ich es erst mal erwartet hätte. Außerdem besprechen wir die 8. Ausgabe des Aurea Awards, bei dem Thomas Bedenk erneut telgenommen hat. Und wir schauen uns das Anouncement der Lynx R2 an, die mit ihrem sehr großen Field of View beeindruckt.

In dieser Folge von Podcast XR sprechen Hanni, Nanni, Jan und Stefan über die VR- und XR-Headsets, die wir in diesem Jahr erwarten können. Einige dieser Geräte sind bereits seit Längerem angekündigt, andere stehen kurz vordem Release. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen differenzierten Blick auf die aktuellen Entwicklungen rund um Samsung Galaxy XR, Steam Frame, Pimax Dream Air, Lynx R2, Pico 5 und weitere spannende Headsets, die den Markt in naher Zukunft prägen könnten. Das Gespräch ist gespickt mit Specs, besonderen technischen Eigenschaften und einer Einordnung, was diese Geräte strategisch und technologisch für den VR- und XR-Markt bedeuten. Dabei geht es nicht nur um einzelne Produkte, sondern auch um Trends, Entscheidungen der Hersteller und mögliche Auswirkungen auf die Nutzer.

Warum das Thema relevant ist Immersive Video, also 180°-Video bis zum full-fledged 3D-Kinofilm in VR, wird in XR immer wichtiger. Das sehen wir nicht nur an der Vielzahl an Videobrillen, die auf den Markt strömen von Xreal, Viture und vielen mehr. Apple liefert noch nie dagewesene Video-Experiences auf der Apple Vision Pro. Laut aktuellen Gerüchten soll Meta im kommenden Jahr eine Brille releasen, die perfekt auf Immersive Video fokussiert ist. Zur letzten Meta Connect sprach Metas CTO mit dem Regisseur James Cameron. Wenn ihr eine Meta 3 zu Hause habt: Schaut euch auf Horizon TV den Trailer zu Avatar 3 an! Es fließt viel Geld in die Content-Produktion, in der Hoffnung, dass das die Leute (endlich? In 5 bis 10 Jahren?) von VR überzeugt. Meine Einschätzung Wenn es mehr Content gäbe, würde ich persönlich viel mehr Zeit in der Brille verbringen. Das haben auch die Hersteller erkannt, und geben endlich Gas. Die Verfügbarkeit von Netflix und Co war nur der erste Schritt. So langsam bauen sie auch eine Immersive Video-Bibliothek auf. Unsere Experten Darum haben wir für euch zwei Experten auf dem Gebiet in den Podcast eingeladen: Björn Sondermann ist Drummer bei der Band "Assassin" und Schlagzeuglehrer. Und seit der Corona-Pandemie auch als 180°-Content-Creator unterwegs. Seine Produktionen erreichen mittlerweile fast eine Millionen Views. Marcel Heß ist Pre-Sales DACH bei Canon. In seinem Team aus 13 Experten berät er vor allem im B2B-Bereich, welche Hardware zur Anforderung passt und wie sie richtig eingesetzt werden kann. Beispiele, die er im Podcast nennt: Museen, in der Medizin bei der Angsttherapie, Neurochirurgie und für Schulungen, Industrie und Arbeitsschutz. Marcel kennt alle Hardware-Specs und die Do's & Dont's bei der Erstellung von stereoskopischen Videos. Die Tipps von den Profis In unserer Episode lernt ihr nicht nur das Was kennen, sondern auch wie es geht: Wie sollte die Kamera geführt und das Material geschnitten werden, um Motion Sickness zu vermeiden? Welche Anfängerfehler gibt es und wie vermeidet ihr sie? Warum ist der Augenabstand so relevant - und bestimmt wo ihr in einem 3D-Kino den optimalen Sitzplatz findet - und warum ist 360° so viel schwieriger als 180°? Und natürlich gibt es auch handfeste Tipps in Sachen Hard-, und Software. Während die Software zwar besser geworden ist, aber immer noch ziemlich frickelig ist, scheint es auf der Hardware-Seite gut zu laufen: Schon für wenige Tausend Euro gibt es heute Equipment, mit dem sich richtig gutes Material erstellen lässt. Jetzt braucht es nur noch das Publikum in den Headsets, dass das Material nachfragt. Auch darüber diskutiert das Quartett in dieser Episode.

The combined 0-6 Bears, Browns, and Jets lost by a combined 74 points on Sunday. But it is still a victory Monday around here as we welcome Kevin Van Valkenburg to the Fried Egg Golf team. Though he has been a contributor to SGS in the past, he's now on the FE ship full time so we bring him on to bat it around following the weekend of Brocore, Wentworth, and continued Ryder Cup hype. We discuss Scottie Scheffler — his mere presence — putting everyone around him on the fritz, like Ben Griffin, who could have, should have won the Brocore. Did it take a low stakes fall event to really convince us the Tiger invocations are not out of line? Maybe. They also discuss king mule Lanto's involvement in the proceedings and Jackson Koivun needing to stay on Tour and not go back to school. At Wentworth, they discuss Alex Noren being a top 20 player in the world and for sure a top 12 option for Team Europe who will be relegated to the ass-cap role. Then the notion of VR headsets preparing the Euro Ryder Cup team for battle is also bandied about with some amusement. They close with some football chatter and laughs about PJ having to send cringe tweets for the Lions following the Browns wishing Deshaun a happy birthday on Sunday morning.

Fehler im Online-Interview – dieser unbewusste Stolperstein kostet dich Einladungen zum Live-Gespräch. Doch die gute Nachricht ist: Mit wenigen Anpassungen löst du das schnell.   Du kennst das: Eigentlich läuft es gut, doch am Ende kommt die Absage. Häufig liegt es nicht an deinen Skills, sondern am Setup. Deshalb zeige ich dir heute, wie du den größten Fehler im Online-Interview vermeidest und sofort professioneller wirkst.   1) Zunächst: Licht first. Schlechte Ausleuchtung killt Vertrauen. Deshalb vermeidest du Gegenlicht und nutzt weiches Licht leicht seitlich von vorn. Ein kleines Ringlicht plus Schreibtischlampe reicht oft. Dadurch wirkt dein Bild ruhig, klar und kompetent.   2) Außerdem: Hintergrund ordnet Aufmerksamkeit. Keine Küchen-Spüle und kein wuseliger Coworking-Space. Stattdessen wählst du eine ruhige Wand, ein aufgeräumtes Regal oder ein neutrales Bild. Virtuelle Hintergründe funktionieren gelegentlich, jedoch lenken sie oft ab – real ist meist besser.   3) Danach: Augenhöhe & Blickkontakt. Heb den Laptop auf Augenhöhe, denn so sprichst du in die Linse statt am Monitor vorbei. Dadurch erhöhst du Präsenz und Souveränität – sofort spürbar.   4) Weiter: Technik stabilisieren. Teste Kamera, Mikro und Tools vorab; schließe unnötige Programme; verhindere Updates. Daher ist ein LAN-Kabel oder ein Hotspot als Fallback sinnvoll. Außerdem empfehle ich den Rechner statt Handy – Bildausschnitt und Bedienung sind einfach besser.   5) Wichtig: Es gibt keine „Vorgespräche“. Jedes Erstgespräch ist ein echtes Interview. Folglich gelten Dresscode, Vorbereitung und Unterlagen wie vor Ort. Du bekommst nun mal nur eine Chance für den ersten Eindruck.   6) Zudem: Bildausschnitt & Körpersprache. Sitz zentriert, Schultern sichtbar, Haltung aufrecht. Dadurch wirken deine Aussagen ruhiger. Zeige die Hände gelegentlich, denn das schafft Vertrauen und unterstreicht Kompetenz.   7) Nicht zuletzt: Audio > Video. Ton schlägt Bild, weil Verständlichkeit entscheidet. Deshalb bringt ein einfaches externes Mikro (Lavalier oder USB) sofort mehr Autorität. Dezente In-Ears sind okay, wuchtige Headsets dagegen stören. Gegen Hall helfen Teppiche und Vorhänge.   Praxis: 5-Minuten-Generalprobe. Teste Bild, Ton, Hintergrund und Screen-Sharing mit einem Freund. So reduzierst du Nervosität und sicherst Stabilität. Anschließend gehst du entspannter ins Gespräch und punktest von Beginn an.   Fazit: Der größte Fehler im Online-Interview ist nicht deine Kompetenz, sondern der Gesamteindruck deines Setups. Wenn Licht, Hintergrund, Blickkontakt, Technik und Ton sitzen, dann spielst du sofort in einer anderen Liga – und deshalb steigen deine Zusage-Chancen deutlich.

Stammhörer, seid stark: Dieses Mal gibt es keine Neuigkeiten rund um die WebPKI. Dafür sprechen Christopher und Sylvester über das angebliche 16-Milliarden-Zugangsdaten-Leck und wie es zum Großereignis überhöht wurde. Außerdem geht es um eine Sicherheitslücke im Linux-Kernel - oder doch woanders? Darüber sind sich die Kernelentwickler und die Distribution Ubuntu uneins und trugen diesen Streit via CVE-Kennungen aus. Außerdem erzählt Christopher über seine Eindrücke zum Sicherheitslücken-Ökosystem und wie es einzelne Verwalter von Opensource-Software überlastet. Und zum Schluß wirft eine Bluetooth-Sicherheitslücke ein Schlaglicht auf eine Industrie, in der die Zulieferkette so unübersichtlich geworden ist, dass man unmöglich sagen kann, welche Geräte betroffen sind. - https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/71646.html & https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/71933.html - https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2025/06/09/a-bit-more-on-twitter-xs-new-encrypted-messaging/ - DNSSEC KSK Ceremony: https://www.iana.org/dnssec/ceremonies/57 - Greg Kroah-Hartman zur Kernel-CVE-Praxis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u44eMQpGlxA&t=787s - https://heise.de/-9777933 - XKCD Dependancy: https://xkcd.com/2347/ - Folgt uns im Fediverse: * @christopherkunz@chaos.social * @syt@social.heise.de Mitglieder unserer Security Community auf heise security PRO hören alle Folgen bereits zwei Tage früher.

In episode 563 of the MobileViews Podcast, I'm joined by guest co-host Jared Kuroiwa to a few of the announcements from Google I/O 2025, with a strong focus on Android XR and the new generation of mixed and extended reality headsets. Key highlights: Android XR Headsets: Google showcased XR devices from partners like Samsung (Project Muhan) and Xreal (Project Aura). These headsets vary in design—from immersive goggles to stylish glasses—and rely on connected Android smartphones for processing. Three-Part Requirement: To fully use these devices, users will need (1) a compatible Android phone, (2) XR glasses, and (3) a Gemini AI subscription, adding cost and complexity. Design & Use Cases: Devices like Xreal's Aura and Samsung's headset aim to combine AR displays with real-world usability, offering features like translation, contextual info, and AI assistance—akin to Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses. Local vs. Cloud AI: Jared shares insights into running local LLMs on mini PCs and the promise of lightweight, on-device AI, comparing it to cloud-based tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Other Tools Discussed: Google Whisk for generative video, the future of XR optics, device compatibility issues, and the role of design in public acceptance of smart eyewear.

In a series of posts from February 8th to 11th, open source developer Matthieu Bucchianeri started making allegations that Meta's OVRPlugin is blocking non-Meta OpenXR runtimes, thereby undermining the open and interoperable spirit of OpenXR. He claims that "the OVRPlugin takes intentional precautions to exclude non-Meta platforms. This means that XR content developed with OVRPlugin will only work with Quest Link, and it will not work with any other runtime." Bucchianeri's allegation is that if a PCVR game includes Meta's OVRPlugin as their OpenXR middleware and doesn't implement the counter-blocking measures that he details, then PCVR users will only be able to use a Quest headset with Quest Link while other non-Meta headsets like "Pimax, Pico, Varjo, Vive" will be blocked, even if they have conformant OpenXR runtimes. Bucchianeri has validated these blocking counter-measures, and he says, "as proven with many applications using OVRPlugin with counter-measures enabled, these applications can run on a conformant OpenXR implementation." Not very many XR developers are willing to speak about these issues on the record, but I did manage to record a Voices of VR podcast interview with Virtual Desktop's Guy Godin who was able to independently corroborate many of the core allegations from Bucchianeri. Godin collaborated with Bucchianeri on the Virtual Desktop OpenXR (VDXR) runtime, but has also been receiving many complaints from PCVR users around Meta's OpenXR non-compliance issues, especially with games that launch both on Quest and PCVR and use Meta's OVRPlugin. Godin told me that games will work fine natively on the Quest, but any non-Quest headsets or if they aren't using Quest Link will be blocked on the PCVR version, unless the developer specifically implements anti-blocking counter-measures detailed by Bucchianeri in his technical write-up. It appears as though OpenXR conformance from the Khronos Group only pertains to the actual OpenXR runtimes on the hardware, but headset manufacturers are able to create their own SDK plug-in middleware that interfaces with OpenXR that doesn't have the same conformance requirements. It appears as though Meta is able to technically maintain their OpenXR runtime conformant status because it does not apply to their OVRPlugin middleware SDK solution, and Bucchianeri is claiming that Meta is undermining the normative standards of interoperability by not following the best practices from the Khronos Group. He says, "For the past several years, Khronos has come up with best practices and solutions to develop OpenXR applications and maximize cross-vendor and cross-platform interoperability. Khronos has asked XR developers all over the world to follow these best practices, however - Meta - the largest vendor in Khronos is refusing to follow these best practices." Bucchianeri is also claiming to have had private communications with Meta confirming that these were deliberate and intentional changes. He says, "This is not an accident: this concern was reported to Meta early in 2024 via official means in the Khronos group. Meta acknowledged purposedly blocking other platforms from running OpenXR content at that time." I was able to confirm in my discussion with Guy Godwin in this Voices of VR podcast episode that he also believes that these were deliberate and intentional changes to undermine the spirit of OpenXR. Part of why Bucchianeri was blowing the whistle is because the Khronos Group had not been taking any action against Meta. He describes Meta's actions as "reverting many of the improvements to the developers and users ecosystem that Khronos has spent time, money, energy into solving for the past 7 years." He says, "Unfortunately, since 2024, Khronos has refused to take actions to stop Meta's OVRPlugin destructive initiative towards the PCVR ecosystem. By not taking any actions to resolve the issues created by Meta's OVRPlugin, Khronos is sending the message that OpenXR is no lo...
