So many bad takes on the AVP.

Mobile computing that provides large screens/multiple screens isn't going to go away. It's really the only way to go forward. Apple's largest laptop screen is only 4 inches larger than the monitor that Commodore sold for the C64 back in the early 1980s. Mobile is held back by the small screens and AVP style computing is the way to change that.

The only way that you could claim that it's "discriminatory" is if you could show credible statistics that whites are underrepresented in the corporate job market relative to their percentage of the population. You have to understand that it's not really about what people think/feel/say. It's about the statistics. Like the famous example of the Vietnam War where blacks were overrepresented as service members in Vietnam relative to their percentage of the population and significantly underrepresented as officers. The bias showed up in the promotional path.

Maybe they are dewokefying their HR like many big ones are doing.

Agreed... Other companies both BIG and small are getting rid of the DEI initiative and its upper echelon hires and supporters and hiring the right people for the job.

You don't like woke. You like vanilla woke. Gotcha. 

Random posts on the internet always claim that Alexa wipes the floor with Siri but actual testing usually shows that they're mostly the same.

As one user put it, “Alexa is like an alien — I have to explain everything to it… It’s good only for simple queries. I have to tell her everything. I like to simply ask questions, not think [about how to formulate questions].”

Per the "too expensive" and "not for the masses" comments, what exactly is that based on relative to Apple? I'll provide an example: Leica is now selling a 4K short-throw laser projector that provides surround sound from the same box. There's a model that produces an 100" image and a model that produces an 120" image. You also need to buy a special ALR screen to project onto. Total cost? Around $11,000 dollars for the cheapest model. That's considered to be a high-end price for very large screen entertainment.

AVP can easily provide 120" 4K entertainment + computer/OS + multiple screen capability + mobility for $3500. It's obvious that it isn't really a high-end price relative to the functionality provided.
