People just want to get confirmed in what they already believe, with the amount of fake news people are already getting dumber because they're not suffering criticism.

If I believe moon landing was fake before I would have hundreds of source telling me I'm wrong and only a few scammy documentaries that would agree with my belief. But now there is fake to confirm any belief I have. Aliens are real, check this video proving it. Zuckerberg is a lizard? There are dozens of photo and video on twitter. And so on.

I'm really not optimistic about that at all.

when you can just turn them off (and examine the data it’s collected) in the settings

Is that part of the chromium engine which is open source or is it closed source ? Because if that part of the code is not visible it doesn't matter what Google tells you.

Until you don't. Battery dies. Phone get stolen. During an emergency if you struggle to navigate that's embarrassing.

Chinese shit isn't going to sell by itself, hopefully there are people taking matter into their hand and buying expensive plastic phone that will be used once or two and then throwed away.

Their parts are pretty cheap and easy to repair.

Yeah I actually did read it and I guess we'll see how it goes, if the apple vision pro become an absolute success and apple suddenly release ai driven feature but I still doubt it despise what cook can say.

There were rumors about apple headset many years ago, today there is nothing about apple and ai. They can work on it but it doesn't mean it will lead to something, research and innovation can be money and time sink when it's not driven by a global vision but instead rely on itself.

Beside one would think they would start by slowly including ai in their iphone first to see how it goes but even that there is not a single glimpse of it.

Yes, when I see it getting upvoted every time I'm left wondering if there isn't a bot issue on Lemmy because I also never heard of it and I would be baffled actual humans keep upvoting the same thing over and over

Local news publishers, Karolian told Engadget, almost entirely depend on selling ads and subscriptions to readers who visit their websites to survive.

Then it's time to change your business model. Ad driven journalism has shown it's limits decades ago, this is just regurgitating what other press agencies write and adding some ads over it.

Yeah me too, I love it when they do the right thing. Of course we only know what they refuse to do, what they agree isn't public.

I swear this keep getting reposted every single day for the last 4 days.

Oh come on, don’t flex on battery capacity and unit weight. This is stupid, anyone with Apple ressource can make an oculus quest with bigger battery, better display and lighter. That’s not what made Apple so wealthy, original iPhone was way heavier than other phone and had shity screen resolution, it didn’t even have a keyboard… yet they are all dead or heavily copied on iPhone.

And wtf does secret development process and new product line got to do with its success ? New garbage get developed daily and goes right to the trash when it doesn’t sell.

All of that is subjective, to me it really doesn’t feel like the revolutionary product that Apple used to deliver during jobs but I can understand how someone would see it different.

Personally beyond every physical criticism on the product, I just look at the wow factor. When the iPhone released, almost everyone understood how its the new shit and everything else is obsolete. Same for iPods. I don’t feel like Vision Pro made the other headset obsolete.

Beside about the stylus for iPad, I’m convinced it was not the size the issue but that jobs wanted people to interact with tech in the most natural possible way, aka finger.

It was his vision, for the better and the worst, but at least it gives a direction. Cook bought some time by slowly offering stuffs that jobs vision forbade, like a stylus, keyboard for iPad, bigger and bigger iPhone and new variants, customization on iOS, and so on. But by doing that he slowly killed jobs vision and Apple is left nowadays without anything else but desire for greed.

The Vision Pro looks just like another corporation product, nothing revolutionary.

Yeah the switch to arm chip can be seen as big in some ways but it doesn’t feel like a complete new product.

The thing is I’m not saying capitalism is good neither, it sure isn’t looking great in USA. I’m saying it is what people end up doing with it and not everything can be blamed on it.

We’ll just agree to disagree.

Because capitalism basic isn’t greed and lack of empathy, I could choose to invest my capital into nearby companies employing homeless people for instance. That would be capitalism.

I know lemmy population is mostly very left politically but these kind of «  good socialism against bad capitalism » are nonsense and borderline ridiculous. I’m seriously wondering if there is a mob of edgy teenager promoting their political vision on every thread because it always comes down to « uh bad capitalism » every time I look into comments.

Apple died with Steve Jobs. Maybe Tim Cook should try carrot juice, because I haven’t seen any real vision from Apple since then.

Every year it’s just small improvement over product lines that already exist. Sure I appreciate to have widget on my screen now but where are the iPods, iPhone, MacBooks of today ? I mean revolutionary product that gave people lots of confidence into tech.

By now I would have think Apple would be already deep into artificial intelligence but no.

About the Vision Pro, what would Jobs (who refused to have stylus on iPad because it’s cumbersome) think of it ? Heavy, battery doesn’t last and you got a fucking wire constantly connecting the helmet to the battery ??

Honestly I don’t get it, it’s like headless chickens running in circle at Apple headquarters.

Then it never stopped, question is irrelevant.

Greed and lack of empathy, not capitalism.

But also they somehow thought they could get away with it in the usa when they declared themselves 2 years ago in France that the foam in their device gives cancer. I really can't understand the logic, usa is the country of trial and lawyers, they knew they would get sued at some point.

Be happy, you helped make some people at Phillip richer.

In all seriousness, Phillip itself admitted the foam in their device can make headache, give toxicity and cancer. I've not been able to read the official declaration, only news report but if I was you I would check that because when the company itself admit it can give cancer, you know it's bad.

Yes because modern slavery is much more effective. Make people take over debt and then pay them the minimum, barely enough to survive, and they will do whatever you tell them to do. You don't need guard or weapon although a little bit of propaganda and no union, because union are communism and communism bad m'kay.
