  • Reports are spreading about a very specific Apple Vision Pro front glass crack

    foregoneconclusionforegoneconclusion
    LOL…this web site was recommending that people use cases that weren’t designed for the AVP to save some money. Whoops. 
    We still are. The cases cited here are using Apple's case.
    The links cited in the article don't say that. The first one says "packed it away" but makes no mention of what case was used. The second one specifically says that they didn't have a case. The third one is a repeat of the first link...same title, same photo. So none of the links used have any information regarding Apple's case.

    In addition, the person who posted in the first link is theorizing that the glass simply breaks by itself "with no outside force". He wasn't charging it in whatever he "packed it away" in. The person who posted in the second link (who didn't use a case) says that they can't remember if they had covered the glass visor when they charged it. 
    You're obviously welcome to believe what you want, but everybody involved in those posts have other Reddit posts discussing what they own as it pertains to AVP, have other comments in other threads discussing it, and we have more accounts from other users since saying the same thing.
    Read the first link: "There seems to be a consistent manufacturing issue with the glass - my ignorant guess is the unique form creates some tension above the nose that eventually cracks, even without any outside force."
     
    This person is saying that the form of the visor breaks itself.  In other words, they don't think it has any correlation to using a case or not.

    -------

    Read the second link: "I noticed this day 1 with my Vision Pro. I didn't have a travel case at that time, but it is possible when I charged it, I left the front cover on. I honestly don't remember."

    This person is saying the damage appeared before they owned a case.

    -------

    RECAP: first link doesn't relate to using a case, second link doesn't involve a case.

  • Apple TV+ drama 'Masters of the Air' is most-watched series launch ever for the service

    sflagel said: The soldiers depicted as heroes in this series are not morally better humans, they do the same evil acts as the German soldiers do; they just perform evil acts for a better cause.
    I've watched the first three episodes and I wouldn't say they're being depicted as heroes. They're depicted as human beings trying to do the best they can to cope with their responsibilities in situations that are mostly horrific. There's an early episode where they refer to the meal they get before missions as "the last supper". They knew their life expectancy at that time of the war was fairly dismal.

  • Apple faces 500M euro fine following EU music probe

    foregoneconclusionforegoneconclusion
    The EU is desperate to collect a penalty fee. In the U.S. legal system, Spotify wouldn't have had the standing to complain since they had already moved 99% of their iOS subscribers to web payments WITHOUT needing any kind of in-app communication. Nothing about their financial reality supported the complaint. Not the revenue part of it or the communication part of it.

  • Defining the Pro in Apple Vision Pro: Who is Apple's target professional?

    foregoneconclusionforegoneconclusion
    Mike Wuerthele said: Apple Vision Pro can't do three monitors, nor two phones. 
    Native apps can do three monitors/screens. And the AVP isn't running on a Snapdragon mobile processor. There are TONS of pro apps that can run on an M2 with 16GB unified memory and have the multi screen experience. So it's less about the AVP capabilities and more about the time/economics involved in making native apps.

  • Apple has built a new generative AI tool for animating images

    foregoneconclusionforegoneconclusion
    gatorguy said: Generative AI is focused on generating new data.
    LOL...generative AI is basically like No Man's Sky. It can "create" based on making variations of what already exists in a database/library of material. It's not actually doing anything "new". Everyone who plays that game is going to see the same types of variations because it's entirely dependent on the database that comes with the game. That's why the creators of things like ChatGPT insist that copyrighted material is a requirement for the program to work. If they used public domain material the output would look like...public domain material, i.e., not as good as copyrighted material OR out of date in terms of its style.
