Zoolander

Voyager. It shows actual usernames and not display names. You’re seeing my display name, not my username.

You know… I totally forgot that I set that as my display name. No offense taken, obviously. I use a third-party Lemmy client so it never shows me that. 🤷‍♂️

Huh?

Used or owned? I own one and bought several for my company and they’re not useless at all. They’re just limited in the AR/VR experiences you can do right now. As a computer, productivity, and production device, it’s far from useless.

Yeah… a tragic mishap is getting your balls stuck in your zipper because you had to pee so bad you tried to rip your pants off. This is a bit more than a “tragic mishap”. ಠ_ಠ

Not technically in their bedrooms but made by students - Narbacular Drop. It was the game that spawned Portal. It’s not a great game, per se, but I’ll never forget the paradigm-shifting moment I had when I realized what was happening.

Valve ended up hiring the entire team to work on Portal.

I don’t think they could, at least not in the timeframe provided by the EU. That’s the entire (and only) reason they’re reverting to the existing implementation. The existing law, as written, doesn’t seem to apply to PWAs.

Yes, it is. The only change being made is that WebKit home apps are being allowed. Since Apple couldn’t create the Home app frameworks for third party apps, they disabled all of them to comply with the new rules. This just means that, unless the EU says otherwise, Home Screen WebKit apps are still ok without needing to open to third-party engines. This is a non-story as that is already the currently released functionality and the change was only made because Apple was attempting to be conservative with its compliance.

That’s one opinion. The other is that I like that all my devices operate seamlessly with each other and save me time and aggravation. I like that I can give my parents Apple products and not worry about them downloading things that might compromise their data or mess up their devices. The fact that limits exist is exactly what I like about Apple products. When I pick them up, they work.

I say this as a current and previous owner of multiple PCs that I built myself and multiple Android devices. I used to love dicking around with all that stuff. Now I just need it to work and I need it to be secure and reliable. I get that with Apple products. I don’t get that with Linux, Windows, or Android anymore.

There are apps for the Quest that can do that.

Tried the Vision at the mall today, though, and it’s pretty awesome. I had an experience I’ve never had in VR yet - when shown heights, my body actually reacted as if it was real.

Guess what? I don’t subscribe to either. I cancelled Netflix after that nonsense and I cancelled Disney 2 days ago. Live by your principles. You whining like a mule on Lemmy does nothing.

The irony of your response is hilarious.

Why? It’s meaningless. Don’t buy the copycat products, then. The only reason they exist is because people buy them.

There’s already competing products just like with the iPhone. If this thing succeeds, it will succeed despite that, not because of it.

Then don’t buy their products. It’s just weird to me that people want to complain so incessantly about a garden they don’t have to live in.

It’s crazy to me how many of you people don’t understand this - most people like the walled garden. It’s fine if it’s not for us techies. That’s not who it’s for.

It’s crazy to me that these countries cut funding, even after they fired those people. UNRWA is providing much needed help, from what I’ve heard of the reporting so far, and this disrupts those efforts a lot.

Your initial post was “wtf is the use case for this”. The answer to that is literally anything computational that has physical limitations.

This structure was literally offered by the judge in the Epic case. The judge said that Apple is entitled to the fees whether the transactions are completed by Apple or not as long as they originated on the platform that Apple maintains and grows.

How have they been “pushing these headsets for years” considering that we’re literally discussing the launch of this product?

This doesn’t make any sense at all. You know Tron was fiction, right? VR existed back then in the same way that neural prosthetics do now. There are like 5 working versions and none of them are functional enough to be used by the public. “The headset sucks and gives you a headache” is a nonsense generalization. There are hundreds of headsets out there and many people can use any number of them without any headache whatsoever.

The parent is right. This is the same pattern that repeats every time. People say it’ll never take off and then it absolutely does.
