“Being cool” is the biggest appeal of AirPods. As pointed out elsewhere on the thread, they made wireless Bluetooth so fashionable celebrities wear them in Zoom calls. Before AirPods wireless Bluetooth was not cool . AirPods are a carefull

Did you get to try the Avegant prototype? It sounds quite promising.

This seems like a tech-community-only opinion to me, the same thinking that is currently killing Magic Leap. If you want to build a mass-market AR headset, you should have one priority: make it look like glasses. People like eye contact. Pe

> he French were so demographically destroyed they literally could not raise an army to fight in the second world war. This isn't true at all. The French army at the start of WWII was over 5 million men, one of the largest in the wo

Sounds like that could be gotten around by using multiple lasers.

Linux and Windows both support most hardware for longer than Apple does. It may not have a manufacturer stamp of approval, but Windows 10 supports CPUs back to some Pentium 4s with full security updates. That's a decade farther back th

It would’ve been nice if they specified but it was probably using the Intel iGPU for video playback. Those results would line up with last year’s laptops in integrated mode. Even with comparable hardware the MacBook is literally 3x as effic

Apple is rather good at planned obsolescence. Intel handed them a few years of unusable machines on a platter (thanks Intel) but I’m sure they’ll find new reasons for MacOS updates to degrade performance on old machines regardless of hardwa

I remain convinced Do Not Track was a piece of sophisticated satire. The notion that companies would stop ad tracking because you asked them nicely is so openly ludicrous that no one could have seriously expected it to work.

This is why the GP linked a source with the national average for college graduates and non-grads. Certainly there are tradespeople who make a ton of money, but usually they make less than degree holders.

An interesting article, but rather undercut by the fact that he highlights quantum computers as the same situation. Twelve years later, they exist. They work. They have APIs! Yet the development process displayed all the negative symptoms h

Unfortunately, even if we do develop the capability to get astronauts out there, the Webb is constructed with a lot of adhesive and layered components and is basically impossible to service in space.

It's a metaphor, the mapping will never be perfect. Nobody calls Aesop's sour grapes fable silly because real foxes don't eat grapes. Say the dragon demands elderly sacrifices instead of allowing a choice - problem solved. I&

What is your point here? Should they instead have been happy about dying? Is death acceptable or good because it's been around for a long time?

I get where you're coming from, and I would also love to have more work put into Firefox, but development speed has precisely nothing to do with why it's lost so much market share. Nobody is choosing a browser because of feature c

That was probably sarcasm, Apple was widely mocked for referring to the removal as "courageous" at the time.

After committing to Metal and then killing 32-bit support and then switching to ARM, Apple has made it clear that video games are dead on MacOS. I don't know what people are going to do with these new GPUs but it's not going to be

That is the case I was thinking of, but I went back to check my memory and it was not a gray area. They had a signed contract from the Iowa Judicial Branch and its Information Security Officer that specified gaining physical access to the b

Blender does have a real-time engine called Eevee which is pretty powerful, although I don't think the use cases overlap enough to bother Epic.

While it's great that Godot is getting better funding, that's about the worst insult I can think of. Epic is so confident that Godot will never be a serious competitor that they're giving them charity money. We'll see; t

There are official written docs ( https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/ ) but they would be difficult to learn from by themselves. There isn't a more helpful answer because the fact is >99% of Blen

The problem is that the response, as it pertains to you, is going to be the same for incompetence or malfeasance in a large number of organizations. Consider what the average self-interested politician would do if you uncovered a corruption

Counterexample: WireGuard. Turns out OpenVPN was massive and slow for no reason and it only took one (talented and motivated) man to make a much better version.

What are the potential advantages of an mmwave tracking system? The only previous commercial application I can think of was the pixel 4, which was very range and accuracy limited and power hungry.

It's not about the colors so much as the fantastic contrast, it really makes games/videos feel more alive.
