Love the show. But really not sold on Rebecca Ferguson as the star. She's the wrong actress for the role. She attempts to compensate for her petite and frail physical appearance with combative overacting in exchanges, and is in no way threatening to anyone. I'd like to see a more imposing and authoritative figure in the role, someone like Queen Latifah, for instance. Her talent is wasted on that stupid "Equalizer" show. Or maybe Gina Carano!

If nothing else you are remarkably consistent with your sexism. 

Sexism? Both my suggestions are female, last I checked. In my milieu, neither petite nor frail are pejorative. Just not suitable for an action series.

Frail definitely has a perjorative sense, and is not a word I'd readily associate with Rebecca Ferguson.

Maybe it does ring pejorative to some sensitive (is that pejorative?) individuals (not me), point conceded. But use a photo as she appears in Silo, where she looks sunken-cheeked, hollow-eyed and anorexic, not Mission Impossible, where she temporarily added the wee bit of muscle tone you see here!

Now I'm leaning toward replacing her with Jason Momoa or Michael B. Jordan!

Gee, you think that the producers, of which Rebecca was one, didn't dress Rebecca to reflect Juliette's life in the Silo?

Somehow, I got the impression that life was harsh in the Silo, but maybe you would like to see it more like Season Two of "White Lotus", where Jennifer Coolidge was the badass action figure?

Nope. I want to see more of a different female Apple star: Hannah Waddingham! That's a person with everything. She's talented, smart, classy and if you're still not convinced life isn't fair, she sings like Aretha Franklin, and is physically stunning. Basically everything I lack!

Definitely lack class.  Absolutely no one is asking for your opinion on the attributes of women.

Likewise, I don't recall asking you for your opinion on anything.

This may have been addressed.  I know Apple Vision Pro is a different kind of (spatial computing) platform, but it certainly seems powerful enough to additionally manage compatibility with other platforms.  What I wonder is if it will have any compatibility with Steam VR or any other platforms/games/apps without that app having to be written for this platform specifically.

I really want to try Half Life: Alyx!  I hear it’s maybe the only honest-to-goodness excellent VR game in the VR world.

I can imaging a world where Steam modifies their library to work with Apple’s hardware to make it easier on their developers.  But I doubt they would do it unless they could own a huge percentage of the sales (very common, but only Apple catches he’ll about it).

Did I miss an announcement?  Has Elon taken over Reddit?  Lol

It's not the elongated muskrat himself, but it's rat-like behavior.

Reddit is trying to go public.  They want to maximize the appearance of revenue to get a high IPO price, so they're trying to charge unworkable amounts for 3rd party apps that don't actually make any money and can't possibly afford to pay.

Big groups going dark will help prevent that from working like they want it to, the stock will be worthless.  And because of Reddit's bad behavior, that's actually what we all want to happen.

WOW - I have to reply to this.  Which 'Big groups' are going dark - and what does that even mean.  Seriously, put the bat down full of pint.  Drink water.
