"This unit must survive." - M5, Star Date 2268
The M-5 multitronic unit, or the M-5 computer, was an advanced multitronic computer system and prototype created by DoctorRichard Daystrom during the mid-23rd century. M-5 was installed on board the USS Enterprise in 2268 as a test of its capabilities. The M-5 drills were designed to allow the unit to command and control the ship during several exploration simulations and war games.During battle drills, the computer's self-preservation instinct became dominant, resulting in the destruction of the robot ship Woden and the deaths of several hundred Starfleet officers when it severely damaged the USS Excalibur and USS Lexington.The senior crew attempted to cut off the computer from the ship's controls, but M-5 rerouted command functions through new data lines, and kept sending false signals through the original ones. The computer could also generate a force field around itself, effectively preventing anyone from coming near it.Captain James T. Kirk made the computer self-destruct by asking it if it was right to kill another being. M-5 said that it was a crime against the laws of Man and God, and, believing that such a crime was punishable by death, deactivated itself.M-5 'The Ultimate computer'

'Doom' can even be played on Apple's Lightning to HDMI adapter
And how a college student got it to work on a pdf 🤣. This is the complete opposite of “Can it run Crysis?”

AltStore brings first porn app to iPhones in the EU, Apple doesn't 'approve'
How long until Apple starts to sue AltStore for false advertising and gets them kicked from the EU for it.

300 doctors attended a summit on Apple Vision Pro's applications in surgery
It’s a prosumer, enterprise, and developer product. The Vision Pro wasn’t designed for the average consumer since the average consumer would not be able to afford this device. The V2 or Air equivalent will be the more consumer-friendly device in terms of pricing.Pema said:Finally we are getting somewhere. Apple is at last realising that as consumer product it is doomed. But with a pro application it makes perfect sense. There is a huge potential in every segment of medicine, industry, manufacturing, education, government, military, aviation etc. etc. where the Vision Pro price wise wouldn't faze anyone and the application will bring huge productivity.
The XR consumer segment is a whole different beast. Someone/or some team at Apple positioned this device totally and completely wrong. Apple is so used to selling to consumers that that is where it was pitched. But a year later it is just collecting bad press and dust.
Hopefully in 2025/2026 we will see a resurgence of the XR set matched to a consumer application and at a consumer price point.
