Those nature videos as backgrounds in a room with a strong color scheme?

Except I wouldn't even sort of trust them not to veer into some jackass ranting about something stupid.

It's imaginary because it's massively worse than 100 other decices that already existed. The premise that a single extra person was tracked by the truly dogshit excuse for a "stalking" tool is laughable.

You're attacking them for "not caring about" imaginary side effects they completely destroyed their product to limit, despite the fact that devices capable of actually doing what you claim unconditionally already exist and have a right to exist with literally no restrictions and do not violate any law in any way.

Unhinged lunatic is the only possible explanation. There is no theoretical possibility that you are a reasonable, informed person acting in good faith.

They should be extremely useful anti-theft trackers, which unconditionally have every right to exist, and are not remotely dicey legally or ethically in any context. But they completely and utterly butchered their usefulness by making them notify everyone around them for the literal sole purpose of satisfying insane anti-technology nutjobs like you.

What are you talking about?

Despite the fact that GPS trackers without restrictions literally already existed, are unconditionally legal and legitimate to have, and were readily available to bad actors, they heavily limited the functionality out of the gate to limit the benefit to malicious use cases.

That's insane.

We have identified several clusters where users have granted Kubernetes privileges to the system:authenticated group

lol if that's the whole thing, blaming Google is laughable, unless they default to that somewhere or have faulty documentation. That's not a security flaw with their tools.

conciselyverbose , 5 months ago to Technology in Only 150+ apps have been designed specifically for Apple's Vision Pro, so far | TechCrunch

How do they expect developers to make apps for it without actually having it available? This is the dev-kit. Yes, they fake it in software so you can do the basics on a MacBook. But that's not really testing. The device in your hands is testing.

I recognize that it's expensive. Being an early adopter isn't cheap. But it's sincerely priced insanely aggressively. The resolution is a huge difference from everything else available. It's the difference between 10 seconds of text making your eyes bleed and actually being able to work on a screen with text. You can't get just that for meaningfully less than the Vision Pro.

The passthrough, same deal. Your alternatives are higher latency while also massively compromising the image quality just to get something passed through at all. And that's before the fact that it has a genuinely powerful SoC in the mix, and high enough quality cameras and processing to be controlled fully with gestures.

There's a reason all the tech enthusiast "media", who have their hands on a lot of these devices regularly, talk about the rest like they're not anything special, but had their minds blown by the Vision Pro. It's a huge step. And, because of their great development tools and relationships with big players, there will be a richer ecosystem than any of the others. Solo developers already could, and have, made real apps with ARKit for phones. They'll make real apps for Vision Pro, too.

Other platforms are "more open", but nobody democratizes app development like Apple. I understand the complaints about the arbitrary limitations they place, and don't like all of them, either, but the bottom line is that they really do make it perfectly reasonable for a single dev or small team to get something high quality published and support themselves on, and all of that vibrant ecosystem is going to add a lot of value to Apple headsets.

Just not day one. Because people need hardware to develop for.

Yes. The exact same reason you admitted that you can't pass through a monitor is the reason it cannot possibly be used for any productivity requiring text. The density real monitors have is the density you have to have for productivity use.

Text is not mediocre. It's absolute, blow your brains out trash. You cannot do meaningful reading on it.

I promise none of these people are using a VPN. IP is plenty.

Chrome never claimed it was spoofing any of those details, and spoofing those details without clearly telling the users what they're doing and why would murder the user experience. Their position as a browser had literally no impact on that tracking.

That's the generous best case of what you can tell a computer to display to, and it is still guaranteed to make text look like absolute shit.

It is not possible to use the terrible resolution of any of the quests to replace multiple physical monitors for productivity. The displays are bad for literally everything but entertainment.

Of course they did. It doesn't take any kind of abuse of the browser to do that. It's all on the website side and everyone does that.

Ban most data gathering websites do. But this has literally zero to do with the browser.

I'm not talking about passing monitors through. I'm talking about having multiple virtual monitors in your field of view.

A shitty virtual 1080p screen taking your entire field of view is not even vaguely capable of being used for productivity purposes. It's not remotely close. The whole point of multiple physical displays is to have a meaningful amount of information directly visible at once.

There is no comparable tech.

You can't get just a headset with comparable resolution, without the high quality low latency passthrough or the computer, for meaningfully less.

conciselyverbose , 5 months ago to Technology in YouTube and Spotify Won’t Launch Apple Vision Pro Apps, Joining Netflix

No you can't.

The resolution is not close to sufficient for a monitor with any meaningful amount of text on it. Your eyes will be bleeding in about 2 minutes.
