I'm not very tech saavy. Certainly not a software engineer, but I've built my own computer. It's not hard.
Flynt truly is the Godzilla of women in tech.

This has to be a troll. A software dev/game dev that can't figure out how to build an oculus machine?![]()
"I'm a software engineer"
Wu was literally giving a lecture on how VR devices can be used for "unconscious bias training" i.e. brainwashing people of problematic ideas.

This reminds me of the time that the NFL said that VR should be used to train their players not to beat their wives. There are a lot of similarities between John and the NFL on this, as neither is in a position to teach other people about what their own biggest failings are. John needs to have empathy before he can teach people about it.
I know a bunch of software developers who have no desire to build a rig. It's a bunch of specialized knowledge that distracts from their current specialized knowledge, and that knowledge about hardware becomes obsolete pretty quickly.
All that said, it's pretty easy to build a machine. Loads of mansplaining tutorials have been written to walk you through every step.

Everybody there looks either pissed off or bored.It looks like AltConf 2016 has learned how you deal with having Flynt/Wu on a panel: One microphone and you don't get to squeal about oppression if you don't have the mic. If you don't have the mic, you keep your damned mouth shut. It must have been torture.
Here's Flynt/Wu on this year's Games Discussion Panel -- seven white guys and one former white guy in an obscene miniskirt. Greatness.

I love the look of naked hunger on Flynt/Wu's face as he stares at the microphone.
EDIT: My bad. This still image shows up in a Google search for "Altconf 2016" and "Wu" but it's actually from 2014. Still, I wonder why others haven't used the one-mic system when Flynt/Wu is around. It appears to be very effective and seems to be irritating the shit out of him.
No, basically everybody you've worked with hates your guts.
I can't wait until he shouts "STOP MANSPLAININGGGGGUHH!!!1" when some dude instructs him.![]()

It's easy to spot which conferences are for worthless hacks because they get suckered in by treating Brianna Wu as an actual software engineer. Do any of these conferences actually run a 2 minute background check and realize that her games are vaporware? How do you justify giving a panel spot to someone who created a game that you can't actually play?
Speaking of shock, it will be pretty amusing if John wrecked his expensive components because he forgot to ground himself. Then he'll go to twitter asking why his brand new parts don't work.The idea that Flynt/Wu is capable of building a computer is laughable. He can barely walk in his surgically and chemically altered tranny body. Fine motor skills are almost certainly nonexistent. There's also a good chance that he'd shock the living shit out of himself while spastically poking around inside anything powered by the notoriously transphobic Reddy Kilowatt, after which he would add "electrical engineer" to his CV.
In the end, he'll just buy a Lenovo Ideacentre Y700 or another machine from this list, all of which are optimized for Oculus Rift, and claim that he built it.
Once he has his new computer and his VR software, there will be an intense e-begging campaign for funding of his next project, followed by . . . wait for it . . . nothing.
