  • Vision Pro will require an appointment, initially only in Apple Stores

    I knew these could be fitted with prescription lenses, but I didn’t know you could wear them with glasses too. Was this already common knowledge?

  • Facebook wants to become an App Store in Europe

    I realized pretty quickly how terrible this company is, so I stopped using them about 16 years ago. I never deactivated my account, or whatever…I just simply abandoned it and forgot about it. I’ve moved twice since I last went anywhere near Fb. Now, after all this time, I’ve started to receive frequent emails from Facebook about groups and people in my new area. 

    How the hell are they still tracking an abandoned account that hasn’t been logged into for 16+ years? But, more importantly, why are they still tracking an account that has been abandoned for 16+ years?

    Fuck this creepy company. They are literally the last place I would ever buy anything from.

  • Apple TV+ renews hit 'Silo' for a second season

    I’m loving Silo, but hating having to wait for more episodes. Usually, I try to not start a season until the finalé has aired. That way I can binge at my own speed.

    however I never know how long a season is beforehand, so can’t gauge when to start near the last episode airing. Is there an easy way of finding out how my episodes there are in a season before the finalé airs?

  • Apple accidentally releases public iOS 17 beta early [u]

    Ok, it's installed.

    It seems fine.  The new features are about as exciting as I expected them to be (which means they aren't).

    It doesn't seem significantly slower, so there's that.  As always with betas, the first thing you have to do is go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements and make sure you turn off everything.

    I haven't noticed any stability problems yet.  It's probably safe to disregard the dire warnings and go ahead.  I mean, I'm not putting it on my primary iPhone, but my primary iPhone is an 8+, so I don't think it'll even run it.
    iPhone 8 and x are no longer getting new major versions of iOS.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    It does not seem like a very Apple-y product, but that's not unexpected either. It's a first gen, and according to reports was intended for developers anyway. Three years out they may have something. At the moment it seems like it was pushed out to the retail market before it's fully hatched, and I'm not sure why altho I could guess there's some other nearly-finished products from potential competitors coming before the year is out. 

    No doubt some regular users here will rush to buy a Vision Pro anyway; after all, it's from Apple. By the time it's fully developed in gen 3 I would expect it to be half to a third of the current price. That's when it may capture my interest.  Or not.
    Not fully hatched? 
    It seems like they put a lot of love and energy into addressing all the shortcomings other AR headset suffer from. So I’m just curious as to what you need to see for it to be considered “fully hatched ”?

    Dude, it's gatorguy, what did you expect? If he said he loved it, we'd all need to press him to get a brain MRI, stat, to find the tumor.
    Right on. I’m not familiar with him or his brand of negativity. 
    You've confused realistic with negative. Apple may well have a hit on it's hands with future iterations, and if anyone can be successful with it, it's Apple. But it's not this version of it. In fact I don't expect this or even the next version to be useful for much outside of gaming and media consumption. Neither of those VR features are innovative, it's the traditional focus, but Apple is more likely than most to move this into compelling AR uses as 3rd party developers become more creative. 

    All that is simply opinion. Yours is too. It's a bit early to claim either, or neither of us is more accurate about how it plays out. 
    I don’t know why I said it that way, sorry. But I do agree that it will take a few models to gain mainstream success. As for the reasons you gave for it being not fully hatched…You can use that same logic with almost everything human beings have ever made. Evolution takes time. And money. But most importantly, patience.
