    Not sure about the Glowtime but I read that there’s a Debate on the 10th. Maybe they wanted to stay away from all the wakkoness from that. 

    Gods know that I want to stay as far away from that garbage as possible.

  • First-world problems drives Apple's robotics development

    First and foremost a robot has to do something that I need. A Roomba does something I need, a programmable thermostat does something that I need. The robotics company I worked for made systems that would crawl into spaces that were too small / too hazardous to have a person do it. We sold them to people that needed a system that would do that. Apple has to make a robot that does something I need. An iPad on an arm isn’t it. 

    I tend to agree, but what "I" need changes with who "I" am.  If "I" am a para/quadriplegic with limited movement, an iPad on an arm might be exactly the thing "I" need.

    Have you used any of the similar DJI systems?  If so, how do they compare?  I've seen tons of YouTubers using DJI and am curious.
    Yeah it is odd that YouTubers including one I follow use those mics and reviews other tech products but never come out with a review for the mic
    Several of the creators I follow who use the DJI have reviewed it.  I've just never seen them use anything else.

  • iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Pro -- What Apple's prototypes say is coming

    Project Nova! Force Sensor Technology! Wow, sounds super impressive, very techy...

    Unless you understand what they intend offering is the iPhone version of a very UN-techy and decades-old camera shutter button where a half-press focuses (or refocuses) and the full press takes the photo or starts video. 
    It seems hardly worthy of an Apple "Project" moniker, where something like Project Purple or Project Titan springs to mind. Those were Apple Projects. 

    It wouldn't be Apple if they used a century old industry standard name like "shutter" for a button that takes pictures, now would it? 🤣

    I like this "Malibu Chihuahua Poo" Color...

    This.  More reminiscent of something the cat threw up than anything like "bronze".  A real bronze colour would be cool, bu if that is the "bronze" they're going with, I'm gonna want to see it in person before I'd consider it.
