  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    The price is insane.
    Less than half the price of the original Macintosh when adjusted for inflation.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    Thankfully the internet and this forum wasn't around when the original Macintosh was introduced.
    Cost $2500 then- and all the specs sucked.
    This is an amazing piece of tech- way ahead of its time and the competition.
    If you want cheap- get a Quest.
    If you want something visionary- ahead of it's time- this is the product.
    Steve Jobs would have loved it.
    Yeah people need perspective. The original Macintosh would be $7,300 today. This is half that.

  • Apple shows MR headset to executives ahead of rumored June unveiling

    Due to the recent mendacities of the establishment I will never buy one of these. I have removed wifi from my home and my kids are watching DVDs. I am strongly considering going back to a flip phone as well after having an iphone since the 3g. 
    I now believe that Steve’s rare cancer was no accident. Gates & his friends were responsible. 
    What is this gibberish?

    So millennials are finding out how the world really works, that no job is secure, that all this talk about how companies value employees is bullshit. You didn’t want to come back to work at the office but wanted to remain cozy working at home with your pet cat on your lap. It’s the BOTTOM LINE, baby, the bottom line. Get used to it, You’ll be switching jobs every few years for the rest of your lives with no security, no perks, no free lunches and lattes. Think joining a union will make it all better? Hardy har har. The SCOTUS is likely to shitcan your hopes of getting your student loan debt laid on the backs of taxpayers. $400 billion? Think again. 

    The world will continue to need electricians, plumbers, brick masons, welders, carpenters, big equipment operators for the foreseeable future, not so much programmers, data entry workers, marketing types, even certain engineering fields as AI will see to that. It’ll be awhile until Boston Dynamics comes up with a robot that can wire and plumb a new home.

    End rant from a 73 year old curmudgeon.
    Your anger-fueled diatribes are absolutely ridiculous. You’re not even on the workforce, are you? Just an angry old retiree if I recall? 

    As for AI replacing software engineers — that’s not likely IMO. Typing code is only one part of my job as a software engineer. The hard part is the thinking about how to design our systems for our domains and scenarios. No chatbot is going to help there. Just as CAD didn’t replace architects.
