Readit NewsThe leverage came in the form of reducing costs. When you ask your lawyer to explain, they happily bill you for that time.
I’m not sure why this simple narrative isn’t more common, but one guess is that the media is largely dominated by institutional players (deeply plugged into finance) and the simultaneous “death” of cyberpunk & cypherpunk as original culture, rather than just a video game aesthetic. Makes me wish that Satoshi had released bitcoin in 1995 or 2005, when that culture was still alive.
and also tech journalism as a whole is pretty abysmal to begin with
BYD+CATL are the new iphone and other manufacturers are Symbian, Motorola and Sony Ericsson
VW, Toyota and friends cannot change fast enough. They should have started with big battery investments 10-15y ago and RnDing then, not now when Market is flooded.
If anybody from the accessibility teams is reading this, please know that it is difficult for me to overstate my gratitude and my appreciation for the amount of work this must've taken.
Music sounds unbelievably better through my AirPod pros, and I didn't even know what I had lost until I heard it again.
I'm willing to bet that a lot of my middle aged compatriots don't even know how much their hearing has degraded… Get your hearing test tested, folks, while you still have it!
I had the same experience as you did - what a difference.
I absolutely love the reverse sound my Toyota RAV4 Prime (hybrid) makes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUT94MBt_Ao To me, it sounds like the future. Sort of a hovering UFO. People's heads definitely turn when I back out of my driveway.
I wouldn’t mind as much if the volume wasn’t 5 times louder in reverse than drive.
However, the VR market just isn’t there and I don’t foresee it ever being there. The Vision is likely going to go down as one of Apple’s biggest “busts”, but more due to the market than Apple making a bad product. I wonder if Jobs would have foreseen this and never released it.
I understand where you’re coming from - have you considered how advances in AI Video generation might pair with a premium headset?
The output from Sora (OpenAI) looks pretty compelling already. I also recently read that Apple is already using AI image generation to create stereoscopic images from any plain old 2D image.
Combine all this together and it’s not impossible to envision (pun intended?) a halfway decent on demand interactive experience.
Kind of amazing to think a holodeck-like experience is in the not too distant future.
What about second hand iPhone users?
Are the anonymized queries (minus user data context) worth anything?
It’s gotta be some kind of subscription/per query charge model to pay for the servers, electricity, and bandwidth.
I am surprised Micrsooft didnt use the opportunity to create a micrsoft specific Linux distro that replaces bash with powershell, or Edit with vim, nano and other choices as well as .NET and Visual Studio Code by developer installs.
Micrsoft could have used this as their default WSL install.
It may not have won the war against typical distro like Ubuntu or Debian but it could have gained a percentage and be a common choice for Windows users - and there are a lot of Windows users!
Microsoft cannot dominate the Linux kernel but it can gain control in userland. Imagine if they gained traction with their applications being installed by default in popular distributions.
This Microsoft Edit is available for Linux, like Powershell is and others. If they had played their cards right -- perhaps -- 10 years ago, their distribution could have been in the top 5 today, all because many windows users use it as their WSL.
Giant companies (like M$) can inject their fingerprints into my personal space. Now, we just need Micrsooft Edit to have Co-Pilot on by default...
The last one didn’t do so hot, they named it “Xenix”
