  • Apple's next-generation 'CarPlay Ultra' is finally here

    This is great for car companies that don’t want to invest on dashboard digital interface. Save them money hiring programmers which can slow down car release date and cripple some functionality like Fisker car was so incompleted and half baked interface. 

    Any car company that doesn’t have a tech/programming department in house, going into the future doesn’t make any sense, how do you keep up with the competition? That knowledge base has to be part of a car companies repertoire (irregardless of using CarPlay) now and I don’t mean outside consultants it has to be in house.

  • 'Price is Right' contestants nowhere close to Apple Vision Pro's astronomical price

    A M2 MacBook Pro plus a R1 SOC, Lidar sensor plus 6 other sensors, 13 cameras, 2 Micro‑OLED screens no the Vision Pro is not going to be less 2 thousand dollars anytime soon… Most have unrealistic expectations that also applies to expecting AI to be Robbie the robot (permanently tied to Google’s super computers back home undercover except Google won’t be forth with with that fact)….

  • iPadOS 18.5 has arrived with bug fixes and little else

    Installed 18.5, then updated all apps. Now Google's Chrome browser is really rough on facebook, in landscape mode, constantly re-sizing and jumping vertically forward and back, making it almost useless.  I guess I should have known better than to fix (update) something that wasn't broken.

    Chrome and Facebook are broken on the Mac ecosystems by design. :smile:

    USA wins yet another trade deal, and this one where everyone said china would never cave. Now 90 days to make it permanent and help our farmers with more china purchases like last time. Impressive 
    Not even the administration is saying there is a deal. They are saying they have 90 days to work on one. What you are calling a “win” is The U.S. and China temporarily lowering tariffs but neither lowered them to pre-trade war levels. So close consumers in both countries are still paying more than they otherwise would have. Progress on the administrations stated goals, reducing the trade deficit and repatriating manufacturing? None. 

    That people see someone intentionally setting a house on fire and then putting out part of the fire as a “win” is why it’s a cult. Y’all can’t see anything beyond your idol worship. 

    Is Ricky Rubio playing the role of Henry Kissinger? Is Trump Richard Nixon?
