  • Reddit app 'Apollo' is shutting down over Reddit's expensive API prices

    If he removes the Reddit API from Apollo, the app will lose the ability to retrieve Reddit content. As a result, many users will likely ask for a refund on their annual app subscriptions.

    Selig anticipates that he could be responsible for a substantial sum of $250,000 if that happens. As a result, it's more affordable for him to shut down.

    Read on AppleInsider
    I'm not following: won't people that paid for an annual subscription be asking for a refund if they shut down too?

    And herein is the issue with "subscriptions." As the old saying goes: any warranty is only as good as the company issuing it. When they disappear, so does your warranty. 

    I would have thought developers escrowed any advance they receive for services for just this situation. Guess that's not the case, hunh? 
    That's the point.  He's on the hook for $250k of subscription refunds, but that pales in comparison to the $20 million he'd have to pay Reddit in API fees if he were to try and keep going and honour the subscription service.  He'd understandly rather give the refunds.

    I guess all the Reddit channel black outs achieved diddly squat.

  • Final Cut Pro said to be available for Apple Vision Pro at launch

    The actual tweet where he made the "available at launch" claim:
    And editing in Final Cut Pro in AR will be available for launch  editing with eyes and gestures. We freaking finally get to edit minority report styles.
    Quite the scoop for a random YouTuber.

    perfect monitor replacement 

    8k 100" displays cost as much as an EV

    this would be my use case
    2 x 4K <> 8K
    It doesn't work that because sizes increase in 2 dimensions. 8K is 4x the number of pixels as 4K, not 2x.
    VisionPro displays have more pixels for each eye than 4k anyway.  23 million pixels total.

    Though 8k is 33 million pixels so it's still a way off.

    I think people overlook a simple function on this machine: 3D movie making.  Just look at iPhone which function everyone uses everyday: taking pictures and making videos.  You don’t need a killer apps, Apple just need to create a YouTube like website to host all the homemade 3D movies so people can watch and feel immersed into other lives. Remember this old movie from 1995: Strange Days? That’s all Apple needs to make everyone wants 1. Example: roller coaster ride in First person view. Like all the reviewers said they watched a demo movie and they feel like they are in the movie with them. That’s the KILLER app.   
    Someone else can be the first person to ride on a rollercoaster with a $3500 hat on.

    Not to be that guy, but it’s “Which”, not “What”.

    What? Intel Macs aren't getting in macOS Sonoma?!
