... and will kill off software support for Vision Pro (1) in the process.

Thanks bleeding edge adopters who bought Gen 1. The Vision Pro 2 will be better thanks to your feedback.

Rather than screw with all cars, how about simply increase the fine?

I do a lot of roadtrips, and occasionally I may find myself going 5 above the speed limit.

However, there are some states/cities whose speeding fines are so severe, I never go a single mile above the posted speed limit, even using cruise control to ensure compliance.

I know people will still speed, regardless of the fines, but there are critical situations where you might need a momentary burst of speed and not having that available could be deadly.

I've never used the AM stations when I had a car with an AM Tuner other than to see if any music was on when FM was dead in the area.

A little over four years ago, I bought a Tesla Model 3 and didn't even realize it lacked an AM Tuner until months after ownership when I read about it somewhere. In all the time since, I've never had a reason to need to use it.

With streaming music, cellular Internet, and other sources of info and entertainment, Radio is dying a slow death. Looks like AM is going first.

Netflix got themselves to the point where there's an entire cultural term (Netflix and chill), then they enforce password sharing restrictions and raise prices.

I'm not even mad. I'm just surprised so many people are "surprised" a for-profit company would take steps to obtain.... profit.

In 1990, no one had a personal phone or the Internet. We got all our jokes and memes from comic pages in the newspaper and various magazines. We literally shared memes and news by clipping them and snail mailing them to people.

In the mid-late 1990s, we got the Internet, and that gave rise to websites and chat programs, but there were plenty of people who didn't have a personal computer and used the ones at work/school.

The early 2000s saw everyone with a home computer. Armed with your digital camera, you could take photos of events, go home, load them on your computer, and share them with anyone you wanted. Or post them online to your website or blog or your favorite web forum.

It was the birth of the smartphone that transformed things greatly. No more home PC for many. Their phone is their computer. No more websites, use an app. Social media exploded once they became apps. Discord is the new web forum. All the messengers collapsed to be replaced with texting, iMessage, and apps like Whatsapp.

In 20 years, you probably won't have to email/text/Slack a link to someone anymore. You can just add it to their feed on some wearable device everyone will be wearing and make walking around with a smartphone sound as archaic as walking around with a discman sounds to us now.

I've been gaming since the Magnavox Odyssey and have a physical gaming library that goes all the way back to the Atari 2600. It's important to me to be able to enjoy any titles in my library whenever I want, without needing "permission" from any servers or accounts. I simply pop in the medium and power on the console. All my original hardware works, but even if it fails, there is replacement hardware.

But for me, the best part of a physical collection is having it visible on my shelf. Game time is rare and previous these days. I probably spend more time admiring my games on their shelves than I do actually playing them. So even if I'm not playing a title, I still see it exists on my shelf, and that allows me to experience some joy. A joy that's different than logging into a launcher and seeing a game list/icon sheet.

Self-checkout is great in a pinch when you have very few items. It's when someone rolls a full shopping cart to the register, that things slow down. Worse, it's when stores only have self-checkers available and maybe 1 human cashier that the process is long and tedious, even if you don't need help from the attendant.

That's why when self-checkers at places like Walmart prompt with a survey, I always tap 3 of 5 stars (unless the attendant helped me, then I give 5 for the attendant). I give 3 because that is average, and having to check myself out as a part-time job with my shopping is an average experience, not a 4- or 5-star experience.

In October 2019, he ran a huge think-tank simulation of what could happen in a coronavirus pandemic, called Event 201.

Then very coincidentally a real coronavirus pandemic would begin soon after.

These layoffs were already planned -- Unity was just waiting for the holidays to be over so it's not as bad for PR.

Apple has a track record of releasing a first-gen product, and then soon after, replacing it with a better, second-gen product, and dropping software support and/or feature support for the first-gen in a year or two.

By all means, pick one up if it interests you. But that $3500 might not have as much longevity as you might hope.

I wonder if they'll blame that on cows, too, like they do carbon emissions.

Not to propagate the species though.

Not so coincidental that, as the move to digital streaming got underway, the world's major computer manufacturers stopped including optical drives in many PCs, especially laptops.

Hard to rip new CDs and DVDs/BluRays if you don't have the drive on your fancy new laptop.
