The rationale at the time was that Musk was refusing to pay so that he could cut a better deal with Twitter, which might even be true, but it was still a stupid waste of time (and money paid to lawyers). The punchline of all this is that hi

Developers would have to port their games, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. The only real obstacle is a lack of first-party input devices.

If you see something obviously stupid, consider for a moment that the author may not be entirely serious.

How is this the only response which acknowledges the obvious joke? Are people even reading the words, how do you not see the jokey tone?

I was an obsessive Reddit user for a few years, but now I've barely used the site since like 2014. As others have said, the real alternative to Reddit isn't a 1:1 replacement, it's other social media, it's Discord. It&#x

When Apple releases one of these for $1999, that's the point where they'll be taking the general consumer market seriously. The price of a MacBook Pro. I think you could get there pretty quickly by cutting out all the AR stuff and

You're not going to significantly rewrite a caching system in a matter of days, not if you want to fix more problems than you cause.

I'm not even sure what the point of a giant Discord server is. Like, I use Discord for organizing (online) activities, asking a question and getting it answered by a real expert, hanging out with friends, etc. None of this scales, it&#

It's true though, the device is clearly intentionally overbuilt, it's not like Apple is adding some huge arbitrary markup.

Yeah the price point is their way of explicitly saying that this is not a finished consumer product. The next few years will be key, as third-party developers build stuff and Apple evolves the OS and hardware. They could pivot into gaming

Yeah, ChatGPT is basically the Xerox of LLM products at this point. Its name recognition is huge.

Apple makes a ton of money from the App Store, of course they were always going to fight this to the end in court. I think the most generous interpretation of this lawsuit is that it's a publicity stunt from Epic, not for consumers, bu

That's how everything works. Literally every CRPG (and every crappy mobile game with an XP/level mechanic) owes an enormous debt to Dungeons & Dragons. WotC is a big company, and D&D is bigger than it's ever been, but

The Apple headset is supposed to have dual 4K displays. It's true that you can't render an entire photorealistic world at 120Hz with low latency using a mobile-grade GPU, but there's still a lot you can do in VR and especia

This is very much like when Musk briefly instated a policy that would ban all social media links because he was mad about Mastodon. That was obviously silly and quickly reversed. Now he's running it back, except he's managed to an

Totally agree. It's the design philosophy of pick from a menu of scripted choices vs interact with a simulated world. I don't think Bethesda has ever quite lived up to that ambition even in the days of Daggerfall and Morrowind, bu

An API to do what? They could just offer direct download links like GOG, but most games implement at least Steam's basic DRM.
