Tofu Dreg kills people.

I am not sure about putting human lives as an operand in win/loss arithmetic, like some typical resource. China is not in a hot war.

It's more about not having to perform a ritual before using the headset, like making sure the controllers are charged, and picking them up.

When you are holding controllers, you can't interact with the environment and people around you naturally, like how Apple showed it in the videos, before "reversing" the ritual.

Apple also wants users to plug it in and use it all day. You can't do that with the limit of controller battery.

Given how their software offerings and datacenter network have expanded over the years, I think the price increase is fair.

At the end of the day, this is optional and hidden by default.

Compared to command + tab or exposé, this approach is more visual and direct, which seems to be a better fit for a form factor that offers much more screen real estate.

I guess this is the cost Apple is willing to pay to ease mac and ipad users into reality OS.

Hey sometimes all you need is just one anchor point.

Do you have hobbies that you ceased to practice for whatever reason? Kids, career.

Maybe this is the time to pick it up again. Engage however you like, interact with the community when you feel like.

I signed up within the first few hours of beta announcement. Still haven't got it.

I understand they want to get it "right" before opening up to the majority, but project management isn't something a business can sit and wait. People have to use some other tool in the mean time, and once having invested time and effort they won't switch back easily.

They are incentivized to avoid confrontation with the west. But the question is whether they will face confrontations.

Right after the Biden administration has taken over, we immediately see Myanmar Coup, Russian persecution of oppositions, China sailing to Japan's Senkaku Islands, not to mention China's constant provocation in Taiwan's airspace.

They are testing the limit the Biden administration. And if it's like the Obama era, the USA won't react in any meaningful manner. The EU, which looks up to the US, can't do much.

You can "install" the PWA to launcher homepage. If it's accessed via the homepage shortcut, the address bar would be hidden.

On the GCP mobile app for example, not all feature is exposed, but there is a cloud shell, with which you can do pretty much anything you want.
