Yeah, that's sort of its purpose. Take away all the dumb Apple notifications and useless info about the world it can detect, because (surprise) it's not portable, and it's a $3500 virtual desktop you don't need navigate with a mouse. It's useful in some cases, sure, but not a general consumer device at this price point or particular case of use. The bull of purchases were probably made by large scale content creation firms to do things like video editing. Sadly, Microsoft's AR glasses were somehow just a stupid, but more useful than Apple's.

Spatial window arrangements essentially makes an entire 360 space of a room the monitor. You don't need many views at that point.

I work on 3 monitors during the day, with multiple virtual desktops. It solves for that, and that alone. That being said, I wouldn't pay $3500 for the privilege, especially when it ONLY operates in the Apple ecosystem, which I don't care for. Other VR desktops exist, but they're all kinda "meh". I'll invest when a device can be used neutrally as just a VR monitor tool.

Low-end AMD APU will blow any Intel away for this purpose and also have hardware transcoding capabilities.

Not with 128KB RAM. Possible with asset tweaking though.

I know you are joking, but this asshole's parents were legit in the business of running company towns for mining and exploiting human labor. Just shy of slavery because it was technically legal, but a loophole that allowed them to get rich by taking advantage of people desperate for work. Real pieces of shit in this family.

If you've never seen an Amazon, FedEx, or UPS facility, you know this is just not likely. They are more secure than prisons. You're not allowed any personal belongings going through to the staging areas, they have metal detectors and multiwave scanners like airports.

Same. Pixel + GrapheneOS sounds like the move for most now.

Because the spectrum required (UV-C) to do so is harmful to humans and the environment. Putting it EVERYWHERE would cause all kinds of problems.

All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.
