Consumer use of AI chatbots and AI assistants is real otherwise no one would be downloading and using ChatGPT. There's something of a generational gap for usage. Zoomers are using AI heavily for school (and their teachers are quite aware of it and a…

California is an at-will employment state. Employees are free to come and go as they please. Likewise, employers can RIF anyone with the simple words "Position X has been eliminated." Also, non-compete clauses in employment contracts are effectively…

LOL, the music on the app's title screen rocks! You guys should check it out!

Here's the issue: out of all of these "smart home" companies, how many of them will be around in 5-10 years? This particular company happened to navigate through their first bankruptcy but how many more times will they go through this? Now I know a…

Meta's grand Metaverse vision is the failure. Their actual shipping VR hardware is acceptable and competitive. I have an Oculus Rift S and it fulfills most of its 6+ year old limited usage cases at close to 1/8th the price of the AVR (not adjusted …

Remember that Meta purchased Oculus for $2 billion back in 2014. Not sure if they made recouped their costs. Ultimately I think a lot of the technology Apple has developed for the AVP will find uses elsewhere outside of a VR HMD (the latter has a l…

Zuck is a nimrod. This hiring strategy isn't sustainable. He's going to shell out a billion for five similar hires? That's crazy. And ultimately it's bad for employee morale at Meta. Think of all of the people there. They will look at their own co…

MacSince1987 said: What crap. F1 has the world's biggest TV audience of any sport, and is truly global - even though most of the cars are built in England. Of course there's overtaking, and what's that about a 'paywall'? You've heard of strea…

Let's get another thing straight: you aren't watching anonymously with AppleTV. Apple might not be selling your usage behavior nilly willy like others but Apple and their content partners will know what you are tuned into. Many of the streaming serv…

anthogag said: The Umeda store, what does it look like? Apple conceals construction work as much as possible before store openings. Check back in a few weeks near or after the store's grand opening. That said this is a modern shopping cen…

As mentioned multiple times before it is probable that Apple has prototyped Macs (of many flavors) with A-series silicon for many years, probably a decade now. The A-series silicon has plenty of power: iPhones have been editing 4K video for a decade…

Pandora was really the first mainstream streaming service, it beat out Spotify by a few months. My memory is hazy but Spotify had very large holes in its music catalog for the first few years compared to Pandora. So I ended up using Pandora and wait…
