During the week ending 17 May 2017 little to no rainfall was recorded across the majority of Australia. Rainfall totals in excess of 25 millimetres were recorded in isolated areas of north-eastern and central New South Wales, northern Tasmania, and in southern parts of Western Australia.
During the week ending 16 May 2017 maximum temperatures were generally average to above average across much of the country. Minimum temperatures were 4°C and 6°C below average in western New South Wales, eastern South Australia, northern Victoria, parts of the Northern Territory and in far northern Western Australia.
The forecast for the next eight days indicates that rainfall totals exceeding 25 millimetres are forecast for much of eastern Australia and parts of far south-west Western Australia. The highest rainfall is expected in Queensland, with totals to exceed 200 millimetres.
These expected falls are associated with a low pressure system and trough crossing the country from west to east. They are expected to produce a significant rain event in the eastern states and territories over the next three days. If these falls eventuate they will provide a timely boost to soil moisture levels and assist with the planting and germination of winter crops after a dry start to May 2017.
Water storage levels in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) increased by 55 gigalitres (GL) during the week ending 18 May 2017 to 15,216 GL and are at 67 per cent of total capacity.
Water outlooks were released for all major catchments in the southern Murray-Darling Basin, indicating high amounts of likely carryover and reasonable starting allocations for 2017-18.
Water market prices stabilised and remained low in the week to 18 May 2017.
Anhydrous milk fat reached its highest ever price at the latest Global Dairy Trade auction held this week.
The United States is expected to resume exporting beef to China from July 2017 following the announcement of a trade agreement between the two countries.
During the week ending 17 May 2017 little to no rainfall was recorded across the majority of Australia. Rainfall totals in excess of 25 millimetres were recorded in isolated areas of north-eastern and central New South Wales, northern Tasmania, and in southern parts of Western Australia. The highest recorded weekly total was 73 millimetres at Beaumont West near Esperance on the southern coast of Western Australia.
The rainfall analyses and associated maps utilise data contained in the Bureau of Meteorology climate database, the Australian Data Archive for Meteorology (ADAM). The analyses are initially produced automatically from real-time data with limited quality control. They are intended to provide a general overview of rainfall across Australia as quickly as possible after the observations are received.
During the week ending 16 May 2017 maximum temperatures were generally average to above average across much of the country. Northern parts of South Australia and southern parts of the Northern Territory recorded temperatures between 4°C and 6°C above average. Minimum temperatures were between 4°C and 6°C below average in western New South Wales, eastern South Australia and parts of northern Victoria. Similar anomalies were recorded in parts of the Northern Territory and in far northern Western Australia.
The forecast for the next eight days indicates that rainfall totals exceeding 25 millimetres are forecast for much of eastern Australia and parts of far south-west Western Australia. The highest rainfall is expected in Queensland around Innisfail to Gladstone, with totals to exceed 200 millimetres.
These expected falls are associated with a low pressure system and trough crossing the country from west to east. They are expected to produce a significant rain event in the eastern states and territories over the next three days. This heavy rainfall may result in isolated flash flooding in some parts of the country and severe thunderstorms are also possible. If these falls eventuate they will provide a timely boost to soil moisture levels and assist with the planting and germination of winter crops after a dry start to May 2017.
Water storage levels in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) increased during the week ending 18 May 2017 by 55 gigalitres (GL) to 15,216 GL and are at 67 per cent of total capacity. This is 37 percentage points or 8,315 GL more than at the same time last year.

The top horizontal (short dash) line indicates the storage level during a similar time last year. The bottom horizontal (long dash) line indicates the amount of 'dead' or unusable storage.
Water outlooks were released for major NSW and Victorian trading zones this week.
Coming out of a wet 2016–17 there is likely to be relatively large volumes of carryover in all southern zones.
NSW Murray is expected to start with 97 per cent for High Security and at least 4 per cent for General Security allocation.
Victorian Murray High Reliability is likely to start the year with 50 per cent and Goulburn High Reliability is likely to receive about 30 per cent.
Allocation prices in the southern Murray—Darling Basin (MDB) remained stable in the week to 18 May 2017 across the whole southern system, with an average price of $26.06 a megalitre In the Murrumbidgee the average price was $5.01 a megalitre. This contrasts with an average price of $41.41 a megalitre in March and $31.97 a megalitre in April across the whole southern MDB.
The trades shown reflect market activity and do not encompass all register trades. The price line reflects locally fitted price values for the entire southern Murray-Darling Basin. Data shown is current until Thursday 11 May, 2017.
The price of anhydrous milk fat (AMF) rose 7 per cent to US$6,631 a tonne at the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction on 16 May 2017. This is the highest price for AMF achieved on the GDT since it began trading in November 2009. In real terms, the price for AMF during the June 2017 quarter to date is the second highest on record since the March 2011 quarter.
The United States is expected to resume exporting beef to China in July 2017 for the first time since 2003, following an announcement in May 2017 of a trade agreement between the two countries. The greater China region is already a large market for US beef, with Hong Kong importing almost 100,000 tonnes (shipped weight) of US beef in 2015–16. Chinese imports of US beef are expected to be of mainly frozen beef. Imports of Australian frozen beef by the greater China region are price competitive by comparison. For example, in 2015–16 the average unit import value of Australian frozen beef into Hong Kong averaged 33 per cent below that of US frozen beef imports.

Q: Is explict git gc needed on git on file share? We are a development team who have our central repository on a windows file share.
One of our developers mistakenly pushed a very large number of commits on a branch. After that, we removed that branch from the central repository, but obviously that does not really remove the commits.
Since it is a just file share, there is no process on the file server that automatically runs git gc.
Do we need to run git gc explicitly on the central repository?

A: There is no process for your local repositories either.
git gc is not run by a background service. It is run automatically by the client after certain commands like commit or push when a certain threshold of objects that should be removed is reached.

A: Like Daniel said, the fact the repository is on a shared filesystem is nothing special to Git: it's the same as if this repo was located on a regular filesystem.  Hence there's no server but just a bunch of "client-side" Git processes accessing the same repository.
That is, this case is no really different from the case of a "normal" local repository typically only ever operated upon by a single developer.
As the git-gc manual states Git does perform certain checks on the repository by means of running git gc --auto which might detect the GC is needed and perform a it.
So...

*

*git gc --auto will be spawned automatically by a Git process run by one of your developers operating on that repository.  This will happen all by itself.
The precise Git operation which might trigger this is not explicitly specified in the documentation.  I think this is because there's no sense codifying this (this sort of GC is supposed to be fast and transparent anyway).

*I see no reason why you would abstrain from running git gc --aggressive by hand to reclaim the free space.
You must keep in mind though that if you have reflog enabled, you will probably want to

*

*Make sure the reflog is emptied (via git reflog expire --all or a more fine-grained method like manually deleting only the required entries from it).

*There's no other lingering refs (branches or tags) pointing to that unwanted history.

Also note that while Git should properly serialize all access to the repository and employ "create + atomic rename" operations when manipulating objects, I would ask the devs to not access the repository while garbage collection is being performed on it.
P.S.
You might find this thread interesting to read, and in particular this post that discussion refers to.

A: wrong answer read the comments.
git gc removes unreachable objects that have been staged (with git add.)  I don't think it will ever remove a committed file.

Mater closes its doors to A&E patients as it becomes Belfast's 'covid hospital'
The Mater Hospital will become the designated Covid-19 hospital for Belfast from today as it closes its A&E doors to walk-ins. Picture Mal McCann.
Seanín Graham
A patient outside the Mater Hospital in north Belfast yesterday Picture Mal McCann.
THE Mater Hospital's A&E department will this morning close its doors to walk-in patients as it becomes the 'Covid hub' for Belfast patients.
Ambulances transporting those with severe respiratory illnesses and who require a hospital bed will be diverted to the north Belfast site.
Experienced doctors and nurses across the Belfast trust will be redeployed to the Mater to support the "anticipated higher level of activity" - with a surge in coronavirus cases expected across Northern Ireland within the next two to three weeks.
Patients needing A&E care in the city must now all go to the Royal Victoria Hospital's casualty unit.

The Irish News has learned that the number of people turning up to A&E departments across the north has plummeted over the past fortnight - with delays of just 12 minutes in some hospitals compared with 12 hours a few months ago.
Coronavirus: Black taxis to withdraw in west Belfast
Dr Eoghan Ferrie, a leading A&E consultant in the Belfast trust, described the dramatic drop in attendances as a "godsend" as it had let them plan and "scale up" for the crisis.
More than 50,000 patients attended the Mater's casualty last year.
"It's really strange, it's not often a thing of this magnitude has led us to plan for what's ahead. But with fewer patients presenting over the past week or two, it has gifted us time," he said.
Dr Ferrie said he was "really amazed" by the "whole coming together of healthcare community" to tackle the virus.

"Everyone has been so caught up in working towards fighting this, there's almost been a buzz about the place - but sitting alongside an anxiety," he said.
"We all have families we are anxious about as well as our patients and our colleagues. There is also the anxiety about the unknown. We can anticipate what might happen but we don't really know."
It is not clear how many beds will be provided in the Mater for Covid-19 patients due to the nature of its treatment and the need for isolation.
There are usually 90 inpatient beds at the site.
However, Dr Ferrie explained that in some instances a 30-bed ward could be reduced to become a 20-bed unit due to "capacity" issues, such as when a seriously ill patient requires ICU care and more expert staff.
The medic, who works across the emergency sites at the RVH and Mater, said he also welcomed plans to increase Covid-19 testing of staff so that staff currently self-isolating could return to work.
"From this week there will be a much needed step-up in terms of Covid testing in the trust and that should allow us to be able us to extend testing beyond patients to staff in order to get them released back to duty," Dr Ferrie told The Irish News.
"There are a number of staff currently self-isolating and it is impacting on some rotas but not to the extent where rotas are vulnerable. Everybody is going the extra mile at the moment to support staff."
Fears about the lack of protective clothing and masks have also been raised across the health and social care service.
Dr Ferrie said that while they haven't "run into any major issues at the moment", adequate equipment would be needed for the weeks ahead.
With an anticipated lockdown of the north expected, the medic appealed to people to "heed the public health advice" to protect themselves, their families, patients and frontline workers.

CWHL Tribute: Jenna Cunningham | Team Alberta/Calgary Inferno
Exuding grace and class, Jenna Cunningham was among the first stars of the Team Alberta era. Consistently one of the club's scoring leaders, Cunningham, a native of Medicine Hat, Alberta, provided a solid leadership presence that extended into the franchise's latter years, signifying a type of connective tissue that defined multiple epochs.
Making her CWHL debut on October 28, 2011 against the Burlington Barracudas, Cunningham would record a stellar multi-point performance, highlighted by scoring the game-winning tally, the first in franchise history. Finishing the season as the second-leading scorer, trailing Samantha Hunt by one point, she would lead Team Alberta in goals (10), game-winning goals (2), power play goals (4), while showing some surprising grit, topping her team with 30 penalty minutes.
Brining an exceptional consistency, assembling an admired career built on character and teamwork, enhanced by an assiduous approach to the game, Cunningham's reliability was essential during the franchise's early years, one marked by the all-too difficult initiation of losing, one which accompanies any entry via expansion. With a roster that also featured players from Albertan clubs in the former Western Women's Hockey League, Cunningham was helping forge a new archetype for professional female hockey.

Such an evolution would take hold when the franchise abandoned its sharp navy blue and gold colour scheme, marking a compelling calibration. Transforming into a postseason contender, shedding its expansion label, such a move took place with celebratory connotation.
In commemoration of the Calgary Flames' sponsorship deal, a fascinating makeover involved adopting the team colors of their NHL brothers. Along with a new name, Inferno, it signalled an alignment with the Flames, developing a synergy that marked a new era, one that supplied Cunningham with a renewed energy,
"When I found out the Flames were going to support us, and we would be rebranded as the Inferno I was extremely excited. In such a short amount of time, we were already experiencing big growth, such as the Flames coming on board, which made us excited for the future of the team in Calgary. We cannot thank the Flames organization, and in particular Brian Burke enough for their support."

Throughout this unfolding narrative, another heartwarming aspect shed light on Cunningham's likeability. Akin to so many other wondrous women of hockey, Cunningham's commitments on the ice involved balancing career obligations off of it. Employed as an educator, Cunningham was engaged in a profession that other CWHLers made their calling. Such a distinguished category includes Nathalie Dery and Carly Dupont-Hill, both teammates on the former Montreal Stars franchise, Toronto Furies defensive stalwart Shannon Moulson, plus Burlington Barracudas alum Ashley Stephenson, who also played with the Canadian national women's baseball team.
With every successive school year, it was an opportunity for Cunningham to enjoy an element of celebrity status, simultaneously enlightening her students to the fascinating fact that women were not only redefining cultural and sporting boundaries, but helping positively build its future with tremendous role models. Undeniably, with access to information online, a growing number of students, and colleagues, soon discovered that their teacher was a celebrated player, having also served as team captain with the Ivy League's Dartmouth University Big Green,
"My students were always really supportive, as were my coworkers. When we won the Cup, I came back to a school-wide assembly for me. I loved seeing my students wearing the CWHL shirts around the schools, and the boys challenging me to a floor hockey game.
I have yet to start a year, where I have not had at least one student Google me once they found out they were in my class and then fill me in on my hockey career."

For Cunningham's students, the most valuable lesson learned about her on-ice journey gained substance by an absolute sense of enjoyment. Driven to persevere following graduation from Dartmouth, hockey remained an integral part of her being. Although the financial rewards are highly prevalent in the men's game, the greatest reward in the women's game is the opportunity to portray the importance of confident female influences.
Demonstrating that enjoyment is the most important factor in one's occupation, Cunningham's passion was always evident on game day. With the number 22 adorning the back of her jersey, whether it was in Alberta blue or Calgary red, her contributions as veteran leader and dependable team player were part of a much richer collaboration. One which saw the heroines of professional hockey become part of an emotional ground-breaking movement that brought unprecedented relevance to women in sport and society, allowing young girls an opportunity to dream bigger,
"Once you have finished your minor hockey career, and your college career, you really are playing the game because you love it. We played in the CWHL because we wanted young girls to have strong women role models to look up to. My favourite part of interacting with the fans was to see the excitement in the young girls' faces and have them share their own hockey stories with us.
I also really enjoyed talking to the parents of the young girls, as they often asked the most questions. The CWHL gave them role models to expose their daughters to, and it was always nice to hear their perspective on how much that played a role in their daughter's lives."
Cunningham's hockey life would seemingly reach greater summits with each successive season. From a 2012-13 season filled with the opportunity to compete in a pair of hallowed NHL venues, including Toronto's Air Canada Centre, plus the iconic Saddledome against the Boston Blades, the calendar year of 2014 would provide more treasured memories. With the Inferno qualifying for their postseason berth in 2014, gracing the ice against Montreal in the opening round of the Clarkson Cup playoffs, the momentum continued as the affable forward was part of a highly historic milestone in league history.
Suiting up for Team Red in the inaugural CWHL All-Star Game, Cunningham was one of eight Inferno competitors participating in the landmark event. Contested at Air Canada Centre in December 2014, the venue offered a combination of both validity and relevance for the professional female game, as over 6,000 fans attended, simultaneously setting a league attendance record (since broken).

Joining her on the victorious Red squad, defeating Team White by a 3-2 tally, included Rebecca Johnston, who scored the game-winning tally, earning Third Star of the Game honors. Along with Jessica Wong, the first pick overall from the 2013 CWHL Draft, she emerged as the only player called for a penalty, sent to the box in the third on a tripping call.
Coincidentally, Johnston would play another key role in a breakthrough moment for both Cunningham and Calgary women's sport. With Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre, another NHL venue, serving as the backdrop, the Inferno enjoyed one of the most emotional victories in Clarkson Cup history, defeating the favored Canadiennes de Montreal in an 8-3 lopsided affair on March 13, 2016, clinching the first title in franchise history.
While Johnston was recognized as the Second Star of the Game, the win took on a sweeter feeling for Cunningham, as she was one of five players from the Team Alberta years, including Kathy Desjardins, Erica Kromm, Meaghan Mikkelson-Reid and Kelsey Webster, earning the opportunity to hoist the coveted Cup. Signifying how far they had come since their expansion status, embodying valuable life lessons of courage and perseverance, overcoming obstacles as roots became firmly entrenched with each passing season, it was a subplot that strengthened the Inferno's athletic footprint in Calgary.
Through it all, the championship was an exclamation point on a brilliant career sprinkled with a seemingly endless stream of exciting highlights, further evidenced by 68 career points, along with the privileged peak of becoming the first player in franchise history to have appeared in 100 games, Cunningham was crucial towards transforming Team Alberta/Calgary into one of the league's signature franchise. Holding a proud place among their all-time greats, embodying sportsmanship, dignity and professionalism, she would carve a legacy that extended beyond the ice.

Remaining part of the game following the 2016-17 CWHL season, which was her last as a professional, that competitive desire never lingered. Cunningham made a seamless transition into ball hockey. Among an assembly of Inferno alumnae that contributed towards Calgary United capturing the CBHA National Championship in 2018, the foundation of teamwork and friendship cultivated during the CWHL years were essential in the path to glory.
Undoubtedly, the title fortified a sterling legacy that established Cunningham as one of Alberta's most distinguished women of hockey. Fittingly, that same year saw Cunningham experience a proud feeling of homecoming, gaining induction into her hometown, Medicine Hat Sports Wall of Fame. With the acumen acquired from years of professional play, evolving into an inspiring individual whose heart of gold and impact in Prairie sport can never be truly quantified, many of her great qualities and character traits can be traced back to the effort exerted on the frozen perimeter,
"There are so many things I enjoyed about playing. I learned a lot through the years that I played, and it really impacted me as a person in so many ways. I am most proud of the impact I know we have had on the community in Calgary, and the young girls who came out to watch us. I was fortunate enough to witness being a part of something that started from nothing, and ended with a championship, and in that journey experienced so many memorable and influential moments. It was a really special thing to be a part of."

Perhaps just as unique was the opportunity for Cunningham to extend her place in Team Alberta/Calgary Inferno lore as a broadcaster. Following in the footsteps of other women's hockey luminaries, such as Tessa Bonhomme, Jennifer Botterill, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Cammi Granato and Cheryl Pounder, having transitioned into the broadcast booth as an option in their post-playing careers, Cunningham's foray resulted in another treasured brush with CWHL history.
Among the highlights of the 2018-19 campaign, the Inferno enjoyed four regular season games broadcast on The Fan 960, becoming the first team in the league to have such exposure on commercial radio. Working alongside Sandra Prusina, Cunningham, who had already worked on the Inferno's online broadcast team, helped to weave a fascinating tale of on-ice brilliance, allowing the listeners an opportunity to imagine the action through the mind's eye.
With articulate insights, adding a remarkable authenticity and sincerity to the broadcasts, displaying an aptitude that added sheen to a season in which the Inferno were firmly entrenched among the league's elites, the broadcast booth was an apt forum for Cunningham.
Although the Fan 960 served as the Inferno's radio home for just one season, the league unexpectedly collapsing, the experience provided Cunningham with one more unique opportunity to leave her mark in league lore. With the Inferno defeating Les Canadiennes de Montreal in the 2019 Clarkson Cup Finals, their third meeting in four years, Cunningham would become the only individual to have been part of Cup winning teams as both player and broadcaster.
Adding to this uniqueness was the fact that former teammate Kristen Hagg served in the capacity of General Manager, becoming another celebrated alum to have captured a championship in two different capacities during a career. While the second Cup validated the Inferno's standing in Canada's prominent female sporting picture, it provided profound perspective on the game for Cunningham, one that was made brighter through her presence,
"The best part of being a broadcaster was being able to stay involved, and tell the players' stories. I liked researching where they played and adding that into the broadcast. I have always liked watching and analyzing hockey, and it was even better to get the chance to do it on the air. It was really special to see them win the Cup again, and be a part of the journey in a small way."

HMS Group has signed two contracts worth more than US$34 million for the delivery of pumping equipment for the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India.
The Russian company will deliver a number of safety-significant pumping units, including primary circuit emergency and planned cooling pumps, high-pressure safety boron injection pumps and deionised water pumps for the 3rd and the 4th power plant units. These latest pump contracts are a follow-up to contracts signed in 2016 which are still under execution, and contracts completed in 2004–2006 for the delivery of the main pumping equipment to the 1st and 2nd units of this nuclear power plant.
HMS Group has signed contracts worth Rub2.7 billion to supply pumping equipment for Russia's Kursk Nuclear Power Plant Phase II.


The Millennium Challenge Account Zambia Limited (MCA-Zambia) engaged Construções Gabriel A.S. Couto, SA to construct and rehabilitate over 2.6 kilometers of drainage in Mazyopa settlement at a cost of US$17.2 million. The signing ceremony was held on September 17 2015, at MCA-Zambia offices. The drain is being constructed to avert flooding downstream which is expected to increase as a result of the rehabilitation of the Bombay Drain. The Bombay drain is expected to have increased storm water flow downstream thereby reducing flooding in the city and affected areas.
However, the increased volume of water has the potential of increasing flooding for the residents of Mazyopa, as the Mazyopa area is located downstream. The Mazyopa drain was therefore designed in such a way that storm water will be drained into the Ngwerere River thereby safeguarding the lives and property of the community of Mazyopa.
The rehabilitation and construction of the Bombay drain stretching from the southern part of the city (Kamwala, Chilenje, Libala) through the Central Business District and ending up just after the Kasangula Road bridge at the Trash Trap will result in serious downstream flooding that would negatively affect residents of Mazyopa Compound. This is the reason for the birth of the Mazyopa drain sub-project.
Mazyopa is a natural stream into which storm water from the Bombay Drainage system discharges. It starts from the discharge point of the proposed trash trap for the Bombay, an open space with vegetation on both sides. It has an approximate length of 2,600 metres.
At a distance of about 600m from Trash Trap No. 1, the drain is joined by inflow from the Luangwa and City Airport catchments.
The drain then meanders for about 740m along an area of informal houses on the western bank where the Mazyopa south settlement is situated.
After meandering for 740m, there is a walled private plot with a frontage length of about 140m on the western bank. Immediately downstream of the northern boundary wall, there is a pipe bridge which is also used as a pedestrian crossing.
At about 1,130m downstream of the confluence there is an abandoned weir and consequently a waterfall downstream of the northern boundary wall.
At a distance of about 1,100m downstream of the weir, the drain is traversed by a recently constructed 27m suspension footbridge.
The last section of the drain is about 270m further downstream with few housing units, gardens, and sparsely populated by natural vegetation.
Downstream of the point where the Chipata drain enters the Ngwerere is the proposed location of Trash Trap No. 2 and the energy dissipating structure.
On behalf of chaisa south sda church, we kindly asking your office for special consideration for a quick payment because we're already holding somebody whose plot we want to buy because we hire marked for evication as result of project. Your assistance will be highly appropriated because if we loose it we Will have a problem in Lusaka to have one.
Dear Mr. Mwelwa, kindly be informed that your matter is currently under the payment process.
For any further clarification, please feel free to come to our offices on Twikatane Road, off Addis Ababa Drive in Rhodespark.

All time low price for this item. $74 less than New on Amazon; $49 less than the SD low of $199 for a mixed reality headset.
3rd Party Seller with 100% positive reviews over the past 12 months.
You gave thanks to Wieland for this post.
Wieland posted this deal. Say thanks!
What makes it certified? Did HP Certify them to repair Mixed Reality Devices?
For anyone that cares, Seller claims it's refurb from HP. They do not do the work.
Is this headset any good in comparison to others? Can all headsets run the same software?
I have a s8 and gear vs with the controller.. Would this give that much better of an experience/Is the software games that much better?
All WMR (Windows mixed reality) headsets are virtually the same. With some exceptions, notably Samsung's headset. This is a solid purchase at $150. With that said I have the Dell version of this and compared to my oculus rift, you can definitely tell build quality is not on the same level. Controllers started squeaking after a couple weeks, random screen shut off issues and usb 3 problems. However those may be isolated to my headset and the actual VR experience is quite good and nearly as good as my rift. Steam now supports MWR directly and there are a ton of great games and experiences out there.
These are different than Gear VR. Think of it as a Budget Vive/Rift. Most of the headsets have two different performance levels, one for lower spec computers and one for higher spec'd pcs. If you have a dedicated video card and decent PC, this will act more like a Vive/Rift.
Would this work OK with my Surface Pro 2017? i5 and 8gb of ram.
depends on the exact specs, It won't work for the more advanced games via steam. But might work more like a Gear VR with youtube experiences etc. See HP's website for requirements.
Out of the VR sets for PC, these ones are the bottom rung. If you have been on the fence about VR being gimmicky then this would be a decent entry point into VR. Even if this mixed reality is on the low end of VR headsets it is way better then your Gear and way more fun due to the motion controls. As for software, most games will run with it. Id take a look at steam to see which games will work with it.
For $150 how could I say no?? I'm personally not ready to drop $450 to get into VR so this is a much better price point to see what the future of VR gaming may hold.
It will work but VR games are typically very video card dependent. If your Surface Pro doesn't have a higher end video card, I'm not sure what games you'll be able to play?
For VR, you really need something like an Nvidia GTX 1060 or higher.
Why all the downvotes on this deal?
