Enshittification strikes again

Right?

Hopefully the UX improves. Last time I tried Bitwarden it was so much worse than 1 Password.

Lol these people are so trashy

Yeah and none of the switch emulator stuff I’ve seen comes bundled with the firmware. You have to track that down separately or dump your own from your Switch.

This sure looks like like a slapp suit to me.

Totally disagree with you. VR even in its currently pretty early stages is an absolute blast. Some of the most fun I’ve had gaming any time recently has been on a Quest 2. And I grew up on 8 and 16 bit consoles so I’ve been through the gamut of gaming experiences.

When the technology does another 5-10 years of advancing it’s going to be absolutely huge.

And to your point about old people not getting tech, my grandmother and mom both love VR and play games and do workouts on Quest together. They actually use them more than I do.

I wonder if in the context of storing 200 TB whether the added cost now makes sense given what a comparable SSD or HDD equivalent would run.

In the Netherlands open faced sandwiches are pretty common snacks kids will make. Slice of bread commonly with toppings like ham, gouda, hard boiled egg, etc. Also peanut butter is a popular topping for bread, though having it with jam is a lot less common than in the US.

A very specifically Dutch thing would be piece of toast with butter and then literally sprinkles on top (like you might put on ice cream). The Dutch eat a shitload of that stuff. Also popular on buttered toast or rusk are little anise seeds coated in sugar, referred to as muisjes.

Yeah if you watch the iFixit tear down it’s obvious these things are just packed to the gills with tech. I’m not mega surprised they ended up costing so much. It’s really bleeding edge.

That said it’s way too expensive for me to get on board and I think they made some poor choices. Especially the outer display. The amount of weight, battery drain, fragility, and (presumably) expense that display alone added is just plain dumb. And it looks a lot worse IRL than in their videos.

I also think the aluminum looks great but I wonder how much lighter the headset would be if it were plastic without the outer display and glass.

Ah fair enough did not catch that. As someone who bike commuted in Seattle for years, they’re insane.

This is Seattle so unless he’s only delivering on the 1 light rail line they have, it’s gonna almost definitely be by car.

Yeah I’d say this is a really sensible start. Outright banning them right out of the gate probably isn’t gonna fly in the US, but his is a good start.

you just know this dude has some fucked up skeletons in his closet

The pressure sensitive trackpad has been a home run, nobody has better trackpads. Period.

But yeah the touchbar was pretty meh and poorly supported and ended up being half baked in the long run.

Also one of the firsts to go all in on USBC on a laptop. Sure they spun their wheels on mobile but I gotta give them props for taking the plunge in their computers. Lotta people bitched about it but it needed to happen.

They really seem to have lost any semblance of vision

I take some solace in the fact that they really mistimed the market for tech stocks. And it doesn’t look like the interest rate money printer is cutting back on this year, so that should majorly kneecap them on this.

Gross, no thanks. The whole point of the IPO is so Huffman and all the other schmucks there with piles of equity can finally get their big pay day. Fuck the lot of them.

Yes the US absolutely does have them at some chains. Also a lot of stores have tech where the wheels lock up if you try to leave the parking lot with the cart. There’s various versions of them, including this one.

In the EU the coin lock carts are basically standard everywhere I’ve been.

Tucker’s bullshit wasn’t aimed at people that would know that. It was ridiculous propaganda for the sorts of dumb fucking Americans who never leave their bubble, yet spend all their time making wild assumptions about the outside world.
