Let me guess. Add infrared cameras onto the Airpods, costing them very little extra, and using it as justification for an £80 price rise.

This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.
In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.
Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.
No, you’re the one lying, and I provided evidence.
ROFLCOPTER
Cringe.
You’re the one that’s lying.
I literally proved you a liar for both of your points lmao
That is changing the default device. When you set one that’s what it sticks to. Same goes for the power profile.
Why are you lying?
Yes it is. You seem reluctant to tell anybody which distro you’re using (even downvoting the person who asked), probably because you know they’d point out that it is in fact there.
Below I’m showing you how it is on my laptop running GNOME, the most used desktop environment. It’s similarly easy in KDE Plasma and Cinnamon. Even the more niche DEs like Pantheon, Budgie, XFCE, and LXQT have had that functionality for many years.
I really don’t know why you’re lying about this. The terminal is not something you’d ever need to open for this.
Why the hell would you need to open the terminal for any of that? It’s in your settings
China isn’t a communist country and hasn’t been for a long time. Theyre about as communist as the Democratic People’s Republic of [North] Korea is democratic.
Or how the Gates foundation fought for the Oxford COVID vaccine NOT to be open sourced, and instead sold for profit, so that it wouldn’t undermine his pharma stocks.
Oxford university had previously secured funding from the UK gov to develop the vaccine under the expectation they open source it so that poorer countries would have greater vaccine access and the rollout could be faster.
You really don’t. I don’t know what on earth you’re doing that requires it.
And I have to do bullshit like go onto powershell and the heap of shit that is the Windows registry from time to time, too. Shit, you need to enter commands to install windows with an offline account now, it’s insane.
I wish Microsoft could make Windows as user-friendly as most Linux distros are. It seems like you need to be a computer scientist to use Windows sometimes.
Rich billionaire twat who owns a shitload of Microsoft shares says AI is good, don’t let the bubble burst. More at ten.
Do they? Presumably they’d open source and upstream their firmware or at the very least provide longer software support if that were the case.
If my screen recorder software doesn’t put an “UNREGISTERED HYPERCAM 2” watermark at the top left corner, then I’m completely uninterested, smh
They won’t do E2EE until it’s part of the standard. That is being worked on.
Google only has it because they have an extremely proprietary, non-standard RCS implementation. Tbh, Google should’ve open sourced this and had it as part of the RCS standard, but they didn’t.
And yeah the EU isn’t going to force anything on iMessage because it’s literally irrelevant outside of the US. I don’t know anybody who seriously uses iMessage tbh, despite like 40% of people here using iPhones.
Indeed. USB-C is already a lot more feature-rich now than it was when initially designed, yet it hasn’t necessitated moving to a different port or broken protocol compatibility with older USB versions.
I’m just pointing out that even if we decide to move beyond USB-C, the law already allows for that.
I truly don’t understand why some are against the law pushing for a standard here. Would these people like it if different branded lightbulbs used different sockets? Or their TV, toaster, washing machine, playstation etc all used different plug sockets? Or only Volkswagen garages had fuel nozzles that fit into Volkswagen cars? Standards are a good thing.
Oh yes I’m almost as smart as the geniuses involved in EU tech laws that wanted to spy on all your encrypted conversations.
Do you mean the one that was proposed and then was immediately shot down? Try reading beyond the scary headlines. Any representative can propose a law, doesn’t mean it’ll get voted through and enacted.
Could is not the problem. Nearly all of today’s problems could be solved through effective legislation. The problem isn’t could they, it’s would they and who would push for the updated laws.
Like I said, the law doesn’t need to be updated as it was forward-thinking in its design. It already allows for emerging standards. And why would they decide not to update it if they didn’t have that provision? Why would they do that?
Omg you are so SMART! How is it that ONLY YOU have thought of this?!! You should, like, rule the world or something, because you’re clearly so much SMARTER than everybody else!
Ah wait no, the EU directive already has allowances for newly emerging standards and isn’t actually tied to USB-C specifically. I.e. if a USB-D came out, it could be used without changes to the law.
This India one is likely the same, or can be easily amended if it isn’t.
And new standards take time to propagate in the market. USB C was designed in 2012 and the first phone with it was in 2015, from some unknown Chinese brand. It took major brands until 2017! And other devices took even longer than phones. Do you really think they couldn’t update USB-C to D in the law in a timeframe like that? Of course they could.
I have really mixed feelings on this.
On the one hand, I have to be pragmatic. The truth is that the internet kinda needs at least some ads to be viable. Hosting stuff and creating stuff isn’t free. It needs to be paid for somehow, and I doubt people are willing to pay a fee for each site they visit (not that the infrastructure exists for that anyway!)
Accepting that undeniable truth, I guess we should push for ads to be as uninvasive and privacy respecting as possible. Which is what this project is.
If this takes off, it would certainly be a net positive, and it could even pressure the likes of the EU to force Google/Meta/others to adopt the same kind of thing. It would also be good from the perspective of Mozilla lessening their reliance on Google.
That said… I can’t help but feel Firefox is playing with fire here. A lot of their users hate ads (same, ublock origin ftw), and they might view getting involved with this very poorly, risking Firefox losing even more market share.
And I know the ads will be private, but despite that I think any ad associations at all with Mozilla products risks undermining that reputation.
They should be very cautious with this.
Not only that, but they had to create a company/infrastructure that they had little to no expertise in.
I guarantee if you asked someone in 2015 “of all the companies out there, who do you think has the knowledge and expertise in civil engineering, US planning law, electricity infrastructure, and wireless communications required to build out a US-wide charging network?”, very few would have come back with “VW would be great at that!”
I can definitely see the logic in it - it pressured VW to pivot to EV platforms, which I guess was the goal. But expecting them to be able to properly run a completely different business to what they have expertise in was always going to have problems.
It absolutely does. I’m not sure why you’re trying to spread misinformation, but Apple clearly hasn’t dropped VR or the Vision Pro, and your own source proves it.
