Netflix is missing a big opportunity by not supporting all 200 Vision Pro users. The Vision Pro REEKS of Post-Jobs. It’s too tech savvy to be a consumer Apple product. Part of the magic of Apples brand is they’ve never really been one to jump the bandwagon. This feels more like a Microsoft product, like that table surface thing from 15 years ago.

        That was great I'd like more info. I'm not sure how Jobs figured web apps would've been practical given a lot of things were still using flash at the time. We didn't have frameworks like React back then, as far as I know there was pretty much JQuery. But considering how a lot of projects are moving to web technology these days, it sort of showed how forward thinking he was...
