Did you happen to buy an apple vision headset?

Yeah the VW/Ferrari analogy is good, because as two cars they do essentially the same thing.

Also I think the group of people who are shelling out $4k for the AVR are going to be heavily biased to justify the expense. I don't think there's a $3000 difference between the two devices. Maybe $500.

The quest 3 does essentially the same at roughly 10x lower price. I say that because I think the price tag makes AVP a non starter for vast majority of families with kids. I think its out of reach price-wise even for a lot of professionals without kids tbh.

But also this is the first version. The original iPhone didn't have copy/paste or the ability to shoot video.

The software will continue to get refined and the hardware will get smaller. It'll eventually fit into roughly standard sized glasses and I think that's going to change everything

Its about $150 for an aftermarket carplay head unit, better to put effort into that

Didn’t need to invent a new wheel here. IP tunneling exists already over HTTPS so simply set that up and route literally any protocol over HTTPS.

Its not a garden. Gardens are horizontal with no dependencies between plants.

Infrastructure is a high rise building. Long term planning and careful maintenance is needed. And it shouldn't be necessary to replace the foundation every year or two.

Yeah, at this point I’ll only work on a Mac. I don’t have the time nor patience for the cheapskate alternatives.

Good riddance. Carvana was a nightmare of vehicle issues, months late trade-in payoff and revolving door customer support. I truly hope they go out of business.

It advances content by interest/topic as opposed to intentional divisiveness, follows or otherwise. You see more of what you watch.

There isn't another platform today that connects you as rapidly to people with shared interests. IG is trying with feeds

There is a setting to enable the STEM feed in the export version. Try not to be an ableist.

One angle of these bans is that TikTok provides rapid person to person sharing of information via rich multimedia, and live streaming of events.

Its harder to control a narrative and spread propaganda when people can see that others around the world are just like them, talk to them directly, and hear their stories.

The idea that China uses TikTok to control other countries I think is backwards. The platform actually enables significant info sharing between normal people, and we’re seeing this for example in the conflict in Gaza.
