  • Apple Vision Pro can be used in public, but mind your manners

    As for people recording in public goes, it is perfectly legal and you don’t need to get consent. 


    IANAL, but a quick Google search suggests this is not true in many states (outside of dressing rooms, bathrooms, and not peeping through people's windows, of course), unless you're taking care to record no sound. Be very careful with audio recording; there are a lot more laws and regulations governing it.

  • Twitter loses half its ad revenue, still weighed down by debt

    MplsP said:

    Many people like to quote Elon's saying "move fast and break things." That works in some areas but in Twitter's case the main thing he broke was its revenue stream. If you're building a ship on shore you can fix what you break. If you're out to sea and you break the hull you've got some issues. Beyond that, Elon & Twitter have been slow to fix what they've broken. The approach seems to be trade a small problem for a bigger problem then move on.

    Though I agree with much of what you've said, ironically it was Zuckerberg who coined the phrase "move fast and break things."

    To Zuckerberg's credit, he revised that to "move fast with stable infrastructure" later (2014). Musk must have missed the update.

  • If both your iPhone and passcode get stolen, you're in deep trouble

    An iPhone problem? Android phones never are stolen?
    I’m sure the premium ones are, but remember: the thief wants the phone so they can loot your bank accounts or run up your credit card bill. People with broke-ass low-end Android phones are 100 percent not the target of thieves.
    And all Apple owners are wealthy, latte-sipping, skinny-jeans-wearing, holier-than-thou prigs, right? 

    Even if it comes in gold, it's a mass-market product now, the most popular phone in the country. Can we leave the class warfare out of it?

  • Apple's Cook expects work from home, remote learning trends to continue

    As a professor, I can say that remote learning is a mess. It might get better with practice, or better technology, but it really makes me wonder whether remote working is really much better -- at least when it comes to the needs of new employees who need to learn a company's rhythms and procedures. A stable team that knows how to work together might be fine switching to remote, but how does it go when you add new people? Do they really integrate?

  • Sony may supply OLED panels for 'Apple Glass' and VR efforts

    The only thing I'm sure of about this product is that it won't be called Apple Glass. It would directly copy a competitor's product name, and the whole "Glasshole" coinage is available for Apple customers just as much as it was for Google customers.
