I think this calculus mainly applies to a land war where numbers of bodies and a bunch of shitty artillery moves the needle. Their navy and airforce is a joke, comparatively and they apparently are very limited in anti air defenses, given how they keep having to shuffle it around to different places in the country.
The US is in for a rude awakening when the Ogallala aquifer runs dry. Nobody ever talks about it, but it's one of the major sources of water for central US agriculture and it's being depleted rapidly. Have fun trying to replace that with desal.
Yep that's exactly what I do. It works but it's kind of convoluted when they could just make fix their app.
I really like the live affiliate streams too and the podcast thing doesn't work for that so you either have to wrestle with the NPR app or hope the affiliate has some sort of way to listen to it on a browser or in your music player which is hit and miss.
Yeah that's a pretty good take. Klepper's on the street interviews with MAGA idiots and the like are the most Daily Show feeling bits of content I've seen since Stewart left.
I liked Craig too, that was a fun era for Comedy Central. I remember they played a lot of Absolutely Fabulous and Viva Variety back then. Good times.
It's really better to think of them as two completely different shows both with very different philosophies and strengths. One just happened to begin when the other ended. Also Jon's show took a while to find its legs.
Here's what that Mark Gurman dude (Apple/Tech journalist for Bloomberg) tweeted about it:
The Vision Pro virtual keyboard is a complete write-off at least in 1.0. You have to poke each key one finger at a time like you did before you learned how to type. There is no magical in-air typing. You can also look at a character and pinch. You’ll want a Bluetooth keyboard.
So sounds like its either poke or look + pinch gesture and both options suck for a keyboard. I just think a virtual keyboard is a very difficult problem to solve for for several reasons which is why every attempt at them thus far has been shit.
And that's kinda the whole problem with VR/MR. It's some of the absolute hardest computing and optical and battery hardware and UI challenges we can find, all bundled into one product. It's just an incredibly steep task and a lot of the solves aren't even really a matter of "oh this is expensive" as much as it is "we're not sure if this is even possible right now."
I really hope we eventually get a fully mature device. I quite like VR and see so much potential in it.
Everyone losing their minds over this like Firefox doesn't exist.
Stop using Chrome.
The reason this is even a big problem is because everyone piled on Google's browser despite all the obvious reasons that wasn't gonna be a good idea on the long term.
I never understood why anybody thought a company – whose principal business is advertising and data mining – wouldn't eventually rug pull everyone like this with their browser as soon as it hit critical mass for market share.
Supposedly the gestures are one thing they did a really solid job of based on the demo recaps I've watched. And the eye tracking supposedly works quite well for focus state switching. The main complaint I've heard is that the virtual keyboard sucks.
I'll be really interested to see more in depth reviews when they start coming out.
Yeah that's my thought as well. They need fighters in the air asap.
