If that was true then people would still be buying books.

My first home terminal in college had core memory and an acoustic coupler. The thing probably weighed 40 pounds. The last screen you were on reappeared when you plugged it in and powered it back up.

We did that with front panel switches. Somewhere I worked on a computer where the boot sequence was done with toggle switches.

Both products will be running the same instruction sets. Seems like Microsoft should be able to have a similar speed

The M2 and M3 CPU speed gains were mostly due to geometry reductions. That will run out of gas given the current fab limitations.

Apple put the graphics on-die. This has advantages and disadvantages. It will be interesting to see how far MS goes with integrated graphics. and what that means for AMD and NVIDIA (outside the AI space).

We thought social media, open access to information, and unfettered communication would shine light in every dark spot and democratize information and access.

We didn't realize it would provide an unlimited platform to the hate-mongers, misogynists, and bigots as well. It turns out people have no problem using this wide access to attack their neighbors and build stronger suppression tools.

Yes, when you factor in the number of diabetes related deaths.

The weather is fine in the walled garden.

I like my Apple TV without Apple TV+ on it.

I use Siri every day for basic operations and for dictation for email and messages.

Is Siri what I use when talking to Apple CarPlay?

Wish I had mod points.

Not sure why anyone is surprised at this. Governments are no different than any other commercial customer.

That dog hunted just fine and brought home convictions. The MAGA crowd doesnâ(TM)t care who helped Trump as long as MAGA wins.

The important part is the decentralized part.

I get that Zuck makes people froth with anger for good reason but having someone with real money create a platform that competes with The Muskhole is fine by me.

Do mod points still exist? Why donâ(TM)t I have any to mod up this post?

There are plenty of places Iâ(TM)d like to virtually visit that Iâ(TM)m not physically able to visit or canâ(TM)t afford to go there. Even the places I go to see would be better if they werenâ(TM)t packed with wall to wall tourist.

I'd love to have a giant virtual screen to be my daily driver monitor if they could get to that resolution in the center of the monitor FOV. I want at least 1440P in the middle of my FOV with enough other resolution that I could turn seamlessly to a 2nd monitor.

I need to see the real world through the headset so that I don't feel like I'm living in a science experiment or a made for SyFy movie.

Maybe a different use case than the gaming headsets.
