“Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement

  • After reading your comment, I checked my Pocket Casts stats page and it looks like between the skipping, variable speed (1.5-2x), and trimmed silence (mad max), I save nearly 20% of listening time with the majority of that being the silence trimming.

    Might be an outlier, but with daily podcast listening, trimming is important enough to keep me on Pocket Casts, even though AntennaPod is attractive given it's open source nature.

    • Apple employees outnumbered customers at Vision Pro launch in San Francisco's Union Square

  • Quick recap:

    • new product line
    • machine learning
    • secretive development process
    • unit weight vs competition
    • battery capacities
    • decade old product form factors

    You can't label any of that subjective and go on to say it's all about the wow factor. As if there could be anything more subjective.

    Cheers for the laugh though.

  • The Vision Pro is literally a new product line that has multiple innovations over current competitors.

    Artificial intelligence is such a buzzword these days it's tough to determine what your meaning is here. Apple uses machine learning all over the place.

    As far as actual artificial intelligence - machine consciousness akin to a human mind - how would you know? Apple doesn't make a habit of announcing their ventures before their marketable.

    Without their respective batteries, the weight of the Meta Quest Pro is 522 grams. The Vision Pro is 532.

    The three batteries in the power pack are 3000mah each. Again, not sure if the complaint here is overall capacity, or that the headset is power inefficient. These could be valid if they'd implemented recharging in a worse manner, but it can be charged while in use by either another battery bank or an electrical socket.

    Ignoring the contradiction on Steve Jobs, yes he was persistent in his vision, but he also understood the physical limits of technology. A stylus at the time of the original iPad would not have been a slim, precision tool. Look at the Wacom CTH661 - bit cumbersome if you ask me.

    There are criticisms to be made of the Vision Pro, and certainly of Apple, but you've made none of them here.

  • You're right and I agree, but on another note, it'd be nice if vehicles in general could be made with no screen again.
