First iteration. I’m sure it’ll improve with time. I guess we all remember those solid gold Apple Watches… XDDD
That’s interesting. It’s a bit funny that new technology can take us closer to those far, and at the same time take us far from those close. :P
I don’t want to make predictions because I may, most probably, fail. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. Some products need more times than others, and some need to get something (and innovative app, for example) that justifies its existence.
Time will tell. But still, it’s a first generation. Even the iPhone was not that good in its first generation. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
I’m not claiming that this is the end of western civilization or anything like that. What I mean is: the ads sell it like “you will be able to interact with those around you without problems”, and I think that’s not entirely true.
I’m not judging people wanting to isolate themselves, but in my opinion taking this thing off or putting it on is not as easy as putting your smartphone aside, or a newspaper aside.
My thinking is that this will be way more an individual experience than Apple sells. So people should take that into consideration.
The biggest problem I see from these kind of devices is: you’re isolating yourself. For example, it looks very cool that you can see a movie with a similar experience to a theatre, but you’re completely isolated using it. I don’t see a family, each with one of these devices on, watching a movie on the couch at the same time. It’s complicated enough when people have their smartphones out while eating with others…
That doesn’t mean that it hasn’t its uses, but it’s more limited than what the try to sell to you. You’re by yourself when you’re using this device, even if you can see others.
Exactly. Basically the most common YouTuber reaction to putting this device on for the first time is “Oh! it’s heavy…” XD
This is a first generation modern Apple product: expensive, flawed, lacking in features. I’ve been a long time Apple user, and if I had the money to buy something like this (I don’t), I would definitely avoid it, and wait for iteration 2 or 3 of it. The review is good, and highlight all the reasons why you should avoid buying this device, unless you wan to develop something for it. Guess we’ll only see YouTubers using it.
From the article (did you read it?):
Since you’ll mostly experience the Vision Pro in there, the most noticeable thing about the hardware after a while is that it’s just… heavy. You’re supposed to wear this thing on your face for long stretches of computer time, and depending on which band and light seal you use, the headset alone weighs between 600 and 650 grams. I keep joking that the Vision Pro is an iPad for your face, but it’s heavier than an 11-inch iPad Pro (470 grams) and pushing close to a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (682 grams), so in a very real way, it’s an iPad for your face.
And…
[…] but it’s also very Apple that the battery is not actually bigger so it can provide more than two and a half hours of run time.
If he said the measures HE took were going to cause inflation, how is that the previous government’s fault? This is what I find funny. He said “25% inflation is great! We were going to much worse inflation! We should congratulate the Economy Minister”, but at the same time, you say the measurements he took were going to cause inflation. So… how did they avoid a worse inflation?
I’m sorry, but some people don’t want to see reality, just want to believe everything will be good in the end, but are not being critical with this government (something people should always do, regardless of who they voted for), and everything the government do is fine with them, no matter how incoherent the discourse is, or how harmful those measures are.
He took measures in his first days that produced rises in both food and fuel, two of the biggest components of inflation. You think that may have influenced or not? I mean…
Billionaires are the cancer of the system.
“Make more money, faster, at any cost” seems to be the motto of a lot of companies these days… Stockholders are there, waiting for their returns, like hungry hatchlings. And CEOs will do anything to try to keep them happy. This system is shit.
Everyone who’s been listening knows we’re royally screwed. Things are not changing the way they should, so, rough times are ahead of us. It was nice while it lasted. Take care, people.
I believe the OLED was actually going to be the Switch 2 (or Pro), but the pandemic made them change plans.
The chip market went bananas, and it was impossible to produce some chips at volume and at competitive prices.
They probably decided to wait a bit, and evaluate alternatives and probably dedicate more time to R&D.
Whatever they do, as long as it is compatible with the Switch, I’ll be happy. It’s one of the best game libraries they’ve had in a long time.
Wonderful! The mouth is simply fantastic. And you can clearly see that he draw most of the head shape with umber or a similar color. Really interesting.
If it’s just text (paperback novels), digital. If it has some illustrations, or is a comic or an art book, physical. Same for technical books with diagrams: physical. I don’t have an iPad or a large ebook to appreciate graphic content in the same way as in a physical book. I have no problems reading novels off my phone, on the other hand.
For a working culture where being at the office is important, it’s an major step. We call it “seat warming”, and sometimes it’s a big factor to get a promotion. I know people who got promoted by just being at the office to late hours doing nothing. Maybe this step can convince higher ups that just being there warming your seat is worse than having a good work/home balance, and that productivity won’t get hurt by leaving a bit early.
We don’t like the candidates by the traditional parties. Let’s yolo it! :P
The blue led was released in 1993. I remember reading an article in Wired magazine (back when magazines were published on paper) about the invention. Gladly, the article is still available online: https://www.wired.com/1995/03/blue-laser/
I talked with some friends about the “true boo-roo” led, and the phrase stuck with us (that’s why I still remember the article). At the time (almost 30 years ago) we had no idea how important the invention was, even when we realized that it allowed for rgb led light.
But we had no idea leds would be miniaturized to be used in screens and be as ubiquitous as they are today. Living through all this technology evolution has been quite the ride.
