Seriously we did this in 1998, why this again??
It’s astounding. The same reason why the Steamdeck is better than the Asus and Lenovo imitation handhelds is why people will want the Apple Vision Pro compared to building your own headset and PC. Yet just because it’s Apple, all the edgelords are out in force refusing to see why a product combining existing technologies for you is better for the masses than one you cobble together yourself.
Polish.
It useless to be first if that product isn’t reliable, sustainable, practical. Apple adds polish to other concepts to make them usable by the vast majority of people.
Laptops existed……with weird keyboard layouts and mice that were afterthoughts. PowerBook pioneered the keyboard forward design that every laptop now has.
Smartphones existed……incredibly limited, weird UI, awkward input, targeted at businesses instead of regular people. iPhone changed everything so much that every other design died.
Collecting different innovations and figuring how to combine them in a way that is practical and sellable is their continuous innovation.
Sorry thought he wanted to play emulators from his 1070 rig.
Sunshine and Moonlight are what you want instead.
Didn’t we do this already back in the 90s with IE bundling??
Ok but……who the hell runs blender and FFP in 8GB?
The vast majority of users are NOT running pro apps like that.
It’s just a name. If you’re actually running pro stuff, you’d be an idiot to run that on 8Gb no matter what machine.
Apple’s argument that it’s the same as 16gb is dumb, but anyone actually using pro apps on 8Gb is dumber. The majority of browser(with sane numbers of tabs)/iPhoto/office users really are probably not gonna notice.
My 701 with 2gb ram and extended battery still works. I used to go wardriving with that thing!
I remember travelling and going to Internet cafes at each city to upload pictures back to my server at home. Was like a modern phone booth for a short period.
Yknow, if that assholes goal was to make SpaceX, X, and rename Tesla to CarX that might actually make sense
V.42bis was the shit
