  • Bose Ultra Open wireless earbuds review: Great, but buy AirPods instead

    It sounds like they would stay in my ears. I haven't worn my AirPods or AirPods Pro in a long time because neither one of them will stay in my ears if I'm mowing the lawn or riding my bike. I've pretty much settled on Shure and they have never fallen out of my ears no matter what.

  • There will never be an Apple Ring, says rival with crossed fingers

    I think the only question that needs asking is "Does a ring bring anything extra to the table [from the Apple Watch]  to warrant 'one more device to charge'?"   I already saw a comment about  a ring being more comfortable to wear overnight - but I don't think that's sufficient reason for enough people to warrant a new product.  So what feature can a ring bring to the table that might?  The only thing I can think of is gesture control.  With one (or more) rings on one's hand(s), AR and VR object manipulation would become a whole lot easier to implement.  I know the AVP is already doing this with sensors in the headset - but that's probably also one of the reasons the thing is such a clunker and not the mass market success Apple probably wants it to be.  With light-weight AR glasses, a ring providing hand position information could be very useful.

    I'm an Apple fan - I don't think I would buy a ring unless it offered new functionality my Ultra lacks (and, btw, neither my wife nor I have any trouble sleeping with it).  Since AR glasses are still years away, I suspect so will an Apple Ring.
    I have no interest in AR Glasses. I would definitely consider a VR Headset as a replacement for a computer monitor, movies and TV shows, and games. I can’t think of anything I would use AR glasses for.

    Not only is it still not accepted in all parts of the world, it is still not accepted in all parts of the United States (i.e. Walmart, Home Depot, etc.)

  • M4 iMac vs 2019 Intel iMac compared: Five years makes a big difference

    I definitely have a non-Retina display. I use a Mac Mini connected to my living room television set. It might seem like an unusual setup, but it works for me.

    Well you could verbally interact with it, but I don’t necessarily see that as Generative AI. I don’t think it would be any different than using a HomePod, except that you would have a screen. So I guess it would be similar to using an iPhone. You could either use the Home app or you could use Siri. Also, with iOS 18.2, Generative AI is very much optional. You can opt to have ChatGPT completely disabled if that is your preference. And even if you don’t disable it, the OS asks your permission before giving you results from ChatGPT.
