  • Want to try Apple Vision Pro? Apple has plenty of appointments

    If you wear hard lenses and can't use glasses (as is my situation), you can't try out the Vision Pro. Before showing up for the 30-minute demo, Apple sends a vision questionnaire, and asks whether you wear lenses. In my case, I wear hard lenses because of my particular eye condition, and glasses don't correct enough to work for me. For that reason, I won't be buying Zeiss lenses, and wouldn't have anyway just to be able to demo the Vision Pro (with no intention to buy it).

  • Apple TV+ cancels 'City on Fire' after one season

    We were two of the few who watched this steaming pile of video.

    Not only was the acting cringeworthy, but the story devolved into a huge cesspool of absurdity. Spoiler ahead, so don't go further if you want to waste your time watching this absolutely terrible series.

    At the end of the show, it's revealed that the kid is the son of the mother who gave up her baby for adoption.

    This, in a city of 7-8 million people? What are the chances? Well... about 1 in 8 million. How stupid.

    And the less said about the acting of the rich dad, who's supposed to be suffering from dementia...

    It was absolutely dreadful. Glad they put it out of our misery.

  • First major Threads update adds some highly desired features

    Let the data collection continue.....

    Are you able to delete the account without deleting instagram? Because that is the only reason why the user numbers are said to be so high.

    I prefere to stick with twitter. Why go for the copycat?

    So let's get this straight; you want to stick with the bird app, where conspiracy whackos, racists, and extremists go unchecked. You mentioned data collection; do you not think that the bird app collects user data? If you don't believe it, you're living under a rock.

    Every day, more and more well-known people are joining Threads, and less and less traffic is reported on the bird app. As this happens, the bird app gets diminished more and more, until it'll go the way of MySpace and Friendster.

    You said "the copycat;" the bird app's original designer didn't create the concept, just as its new owner didn't become a wealthy man on his own--he inherited his wealth from his racist parents. Not only that, but he wasted $44 billion on the app, and he wouldn't know a line of code from a grain of truth.

    But if you prefere[sp], stick with it.

  • Keychron K3 review: a classic mechanical keyboard in a modern compact form

    I've had one for a couple of months now, and I can say this: I've been using a computer since 1984, and this is easily the best keyboard I've ever owned.

    Don't worry about key noise; it's not bad at all, no louder than my MacBook Pro. 

    I highly recommend this keyboard; sleek design, very sturdy, RGB is very cool.
