I wonder if I'll be able to get VSP to pay for part of them? /s

Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors
Could be a great replacement for a large screen TV. No glare. Great for small apartments.Seeing the 3D scanning of your face makes me wonder when 3D scanning apps using the front cameras/LiDAR will come out allowing scanning of “things” imported into 3D CAD systems. High quality handheld scanners are expensive.

Rumored Mac Studio trade-in points to possible refresh during WWDC
I disagree. If Apple does take trade-ins I’ll be watching the refurbished website for a modeling level Studio. I know the new M2 mini’s are real nice but a Studio Max or Ultra at a reasonable price should last for 10 years.timmillea said:The Mac Studio is a design monstrosity and should never have been produced by Apple. I agree that it was probably an interim product before the Apple Silicon Mac Pro could be released. Even so, it was a terrible mistake, tarnishing the design credentials of a design-focussed brand.
A 15" MacBook Air, if true, would be a further dilution of the brand. The MBA is a small and light laptop that fits in an envelope.
Since Sir Jony Ive left, Apple appears to have lost its way.
There is a momentum from previous successes but any more crap from Apple will start to impact.

Apple's $50M keyboard settlement deemed 'fair & reasonable' by US judge
$50M / $50 = 1,000,000 Mac users, except the lawyers get $15M right off the top. I don't call the $15M fair, adequate and reasonable. I call it the typical corrupt legal system. With only 86K claims, I see the settlement way over board.

Apple blocked over $2 billion in fraudulent transactions & 1.7 million bogus apps in 2022
Especially self-serving politicians.FileMakerFeller said:These figures should be kept in mind when Apple faces criticism for not stopping every scam that is attempted. I'm not saying Apple can't improve, or that they shouldn't try; we just need to recognise that the company is doing a lot of things right and the scale of the problem is a lot bigger than most people can conceive.
