  • Apple Vision Pro followup expected to be a more affordable, cut-down model

    kiltedgreenkiltedgreen
    But I wouldn’t expect them to compromise on the display. If you sell it on the strength of the incredible display quality and the OS then it would seem unwise to bring out a cheaper version that takes the main features of the device and diminishes the experience.

    A cheaper version might have a smaller (or no) battery being mains only, less effective (or no) speakers and rely on you using existing AirPods for audio, have a quality but maybe not premium quality headband. Perhaps not provide the “eyes/face” feature for anyone else near you in the room.

    An approach like the above would not diminish the visual experience of AppleVision ??? In any way for the user but would sacrifice other areas that would save money. A bit like having an Apple Watch with a neoprene strap instead of a top end stainless steel links/webbing strap or whatever - the watch functionality is identical but the overall experience is not so “premium”.

    The killer was able to transport the legally purchased gun from Hawaii to New York (where it was illegal), with the help of a law change that the NRA championed in the 60s. Today, mass shootings in schools and other public spaces are direct results of their lobbying in the decades since. The Senate found that the NRA acted as a 'foreign asset' to Russia before the 2016 election. The NRA is an anti-American terrorist group.

    I think that last sentence might be better worded as “The NRA is an anti-Life terrorist group.” Those bullets aren’t selective …

    First you have to assume CO2 is a pollutant. In which case you should stop breathing because you’re externalizing the costs of your existence upon me.

    As my ex (who was a nurse) said years ago “The poison is the dose”.

    CO2, as you imply, is a critical input for vegetation. So, CO2 is good then. If you breathe a little CO2 you’ll be OK but if I lock you in a sealed room and the only thing you can breathe is CO2 it would not be long before you were dead. So CO2 is bad then.

    This shows the stupidity of making such deliberately simplistic and banal statements. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas and consequently climate scientists are as close to certain as is required for scientific proof, that it’s resulting in global warming. Therefore reducing it is highly desirable. Apple are trying to play their part as much as possible given they are a mega trillion dollar company. That in itself is of course a problem.

    The bulk of the world’s CO2 are not coming directly from human beings, as I’m sure you are aware, but choose to forget.

    This woman's mere existence on the payroll proves that Apple is wasting money on these efforts which are nothing more than virtue signaling. "Carbon emissions" go hand-in-hand with a productive, developed economy; those who obsess over carbon emissions would have us living in the stone age. No thanks. 

    Yep, that makes sense! It’s either top speed down the fossil fuel powered highway or we are living in caves eating nothing but dirty berries. No other options are available apparently.
