- asadotzler 4mo agoWe didn't have early PCs when early PCs were expensive. Today we have desktops, laptop, smartphones, VR goggles, more PCs than you can shake a stick at, all reasonably priced. One more PC form factor isn't the same as when we were buying our first, or our second, or our third....
- F7F7F7 4mo agoApple sold over 500k (the last reported number) of Apple Vision Pros and they had/have a built in ecosystem and known developer tools. It's been considered by all measures a flop. (I have one and love it). Snapchat has a 2nd rate social media platform after a new audience, they already failed with hardware once, they lost all momentrum relative to their geo spatial ad filters and Lens make app (blew up during COVID). I dont know convinces anyone that they are due for an Apple like moment in AR at $2k+ per glasses. This is why VCs/PEs tend to not like founders.
