Surgeons say Apple Vision Pro saves them pain and injury
Side note: I’m astonished to read about the ergonomic problems that surgeons (in the US, and everywhere else I presume) experience on the job.
Back to the Apple Vision Pro: I suspect that, as it is still early days, the various devices are poorly integrated with AVP. X-rays and CT scans images are not being ported to the AVP, instead the surgeon is looking directly at those monitors through the monitors of the AVP, with all the associated colour fidelity and resolution loss, and moiré. Once these medical devices are ported to the AVP, the surgeon will be able to pause, rest their neck, looking in any direction, while zooming into and examining a glorious image of the CT scan image using simple hand gestures, etc.. Glorious!

UK reconsidering USB-C charger mandate, after everyone else has already shifted
Now that the UK is out of the EU, there ought to be a law that forbids Murdoch’s People, i.e. Britons, from discussing the EU or mentioning it, even in furtive, hushed tones, with severe penalties for violations.

Chief People Officer leaves Apple after short 20 month tenure
“Human Resources” is such a lovely candy apple. Why would anyone sugar-coat that?DAalseth said:Ngl, I always found the title Chief People Officer more than a little off-putting. She was in charge of Human Resources. No matter how you sugar coat it, that’s what that position was. Giving the job a cute, new agey name just struck me as weird, as trying too hard.

Apple's iPhone breaks sales record as smartphone market recovers
Fair enough, but you make no mention of the fact that your phone has Google spyware installed, it's called Android. So, whatever the benefits of the Android OS that was provided and installed on your phone for free, the downside is that you must submit to that company's all-encompassing surveillance. I see a lot of comments that try to equate Android and iOS. That is a simple fallacy. Apple has a completely different business model to Google.avon b7 said:'Android' provides an equally trustworthy scenario and possibly more protection in some cases.
The difference is that there isn't just one Android so an iOS/Android comparison is not easy.
Both Google and the provider of my particular version of Android provide reminders of permissions situations that seem unnecessary so that I can check them. Permissions that I initially granted.
I have never had a known instance of malware or virus and the device is regularly scanned by the system for rogue activity.
All app stores are regularly purged of such apps because it's impossible to stop some getting through. That includes the Apple App Store.
And I would dispute the claim that iOS works much better than alternatives. After all, Apple has spent the last few years implementing Android features.

Apple's iPhone breaks sales record as smartphone market recovers
Well said. In addition to that, most Android users don't realise that they have unwittingly volunteered for a massive corporate surveillance programme, unprecedented in human history. Not even the East German Stasi knew as much about their citizens as Google knows about their users. And Google exploits that information for profit. Only the EU seems to have attempted to do anything to rein in the out-of-control tech bros.ssfe11 said:As the smartphone becomes more and more essential to your life and all your data is on it how could you possibly trust anything but the Apple Walled Garden? Forget how much better it works then every other smartphone and just focus on the privacy and security alone it provides. No one comes close. In the mobile world it’s Apple then everyone else.
