What I see as the primary reason for a guest mode is showing another person what the Vision Pro is all about.  Restricting apps and all that jazz is a relatively minor part of that, what the Vision Pro could really do with is a Demo Mode, where it walks a user through a few impressive functions, the same sort of stuff that is scripted in the Apple Store in-store demos.  

Gosh no. I absolutely despise when products shit a demo mode on their interface after I've already bought them. I'm a customer, not a salesman. 

Something that could grow out of this guest mode is great for my eventual primary usage: studio use with copious virtual real estate, several monitors for tracking, mixer, analysers, synched video track, as well as plugin interfaces placed virtually among the hardware in the studio. 

Rumour has it, the magnets interfere with Apple's new C1 modem chip. 

Et tu, Apple? 

You, of all companies, are full-throttle on the path to enshitification of our digital lives? 



(bad enough that I cannot fucking opt out of those ANNOYING "hey stupid! — upgrade to Sequoia NoW!" popups. I'm a grown man, I'm WELL aware of the first TWENTY NOTICES you've given me. At this point, I probably have a GOOD FUCKING REASON not to have upgraded yet. Leave me the fuck alone.)

Why not just rename it the Gulf de Gringo. That will satisfy Mexico and the US and end the spat over a sill naming of a body of water.   

'Gulf of the Americas'. Everyone wins, not that the current admin would value such.

The MAGA ethic can only "win" if the other side loses. 

That's why the diplomatic community is resigned to treating him like a toddler with a gun. 

But these people get worked up over pronouns to match identity. 

What an embarrassment to humanity.
