Does the AVP actually compete with it? I thought it didn't do games?

It does local stuff of course, and some are trying to bring PC streaming to it, e.g. https://github.com/Kross82/KRVR-releases

Does the AVP still not integrate with VR games/simulators? I understand why Apple wants it to be a productivity tool not a gaming device, but it really sucks to restrict it in that way.

I think apple needs to turn the page on it's 'not friendly for game developers' stance that they've had for a very long time. They've done some embracing on phones/ipads for sure but the m-series graphics capability is massive, they should be making investments with game engines to really squeeze performance out of their stack.

This might be a little difficult seeing as how the largest gaming engine in the industry for AAA (unreal) is owned by a dude that has sued them for their store practices but shrug.



I don't think that's true, 3.5k for a porn machine is an incredibly steep price.

People "happily" spend that on drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, so why not on porn.

True, but people are more willing to spend that kind of money $20-50 at a time than all at once.

Sign up for Apple Card and you can purchase on a payment plan.

True, maybe bundle it with an OF account?

I don't believe the two thoughts are mutually exclusive.

Europeans largely do not believe in the right to self defense

It's funny you say this because, at least from what I've seen, groups that are historically discriminated against seem to be receiving more latitude in skirting the law.

Are you kidding me? You are not being "press ganged", when you try to play music the music player shipped with the OS is opened.

Apple Music can not be uninstalled. That's pretty much "press ganged" in my book.

I'm not trying to play music. I'm not even logged into the Apple Music app.

I'm just trying to put my bluetooth earbud in my ear to make a Teams call, and 1/3 of the time I get an onboarding prompt to join Apple Music on my work computer. Can't turn it off.


your point would carry more weight were it possible to switch the default music player

The age of people all across the world being able to just connect to each other other the internet is coming to an end. I wish the internet was still a business backend and hobbyist playground but I'm not sure it ever was just that.

Star Trek isn't real life, when human labor stops being valuable the humans who's labor was previously vital will be at best left to rot in squalor.


Couldn't have said it better myself. The only reason we are worth keeping around is because what we do is necessary to keep the machine running. The idea that the AI singularity would lead to infinite free stuff for everyone is ridiculous.


The Expanse would be an apt sci-fi example where almost no labor is needed and everyone survives on a bare minimum UBI unless they want to risk it all and go into space.


A generation of people left behind. The birthrates will continue falling.


The bitrates, on the other hand...


For some reason programmers start thinking that we'll transition away from a whole world of societies built around the concept of individual ownership, i.e. your landlord charging you rent, company owners owning the company and the resulting product and paying you what they deem the work you own is worth, and move towards something like communism, all because people working in IT or marketing departments are having a hard time.

I'm sorry but us programmers didn't invent capitalism, and it wasn't our consent under the condition of having a good run under it what kept it in place.


If AI only blows away programming, sure you are probably right. If AI blows away white collar labor, which is at least half of jobs, then yeah something would give way.


And if AI blows away all white collar labor, those former white color workers will be unable to afford much blue collar labor, which will hurt the blue collar labor market too.


not to mention some number will switch to blue collar (or try to) and pretty much everything will tumble down.

Have to start making our own steel in the backyard and killing sparrows


I'm not sure if I'd call it culture wide, but a significant number of non-tech people in my life were not just aware of it but actively considering "investing".


Something worth noting is that the types of vulnerabilities LLMs introduce are notably different from what humans introduce, way fewer local issues like syntax mistakes, simple memory problems, etc and far more broad issues like authn/authz


What do you mean about syntax mistakes and memory problems?

Something like incorrect SELinux configurations?
