    This is designed for shared desks. In some offices, workspaces (including desks) are shared. This dock not only provides the connectivity to the desk's hardware (display, keyboard, mouse, etc.) but also provides an interface to reserve the desk for specific times. That schedule is then shown on the display, among other things.

    Is it expensive? Yes. Does it solve a niche problem? Yes. Is it for everyone? Absolutely not.
    I get it, but it seems a company can just setup a calendar for scheduling shared desk usage for free.  If you don't have access to this gadget, you'd have to reserve it some other way than the fancy screen, right?

    I setup 4 stations at a client office that is used for mobile workers who visit the office.  A shared Outlook calendar does the trick.
    My office has entire floors of hotdesks, hundreds of them.  A shared Outlook calendar very much would not do the trick.

    the trailer was all CGI, with no gameplay
    I don't think CGI means what you think it means.

    Given that Sony own Bungie I don't know why anyone would expect it to be coming to the Mac.

    There is a Remote Play app for iOS though, so it may work through that.

  • Apple's headset success depends on ecosystem integration

    Priced at $3,000, it would be approximately three times higher than its premium competitors and more expensive than most other products offered by Apple. 
    Priced at $4,000, it would be approximately four times higher than its premium competitors!

    Bigger numbers are bigger, who knew!  Doesn't stop them being made up though.

  • Meta slapped with record $1.3 billion fine over EU-US data transfers

    These regulations and their tyrannical enforcement look like they are for you, the EU citizen. 

    But actually, they're against you - they're just the government adding more tools to its tool belt to issue fines and bring corporations in line. 

    It's a power grab, all done under the disguise of serving the people. 

    The corrupt, unelected government of the EU only acts to perpetuate its own power. 

    Of course when they strike against Meta, everyone cheers - but when it turns out we can't have small independent businesses anymore because these government bureaucrats can use the law against any of them any time, we realize that this was always created to centralize power, to give more power to government, and to also - ironically - give the internet giants more power. 

    Facebook has 100M to fight this in the courts and another 100M to settle, or even more. No problem! 

    But small startups can be permanently shut down by these laws, and that's why they were in reality created in the first place. 
    Utter nonsense.
