I really don’t think they intended for everyone to buy it. I think they wanted to get it out into devs and enthusiasts hands, and let people who are interested but not!willing to spend that much money demo it in an Apple Store. They gives time for apps to get tested, independent devs time to port their apps over and iron out any bugs, etc.

I feel like the fact that the first one didn’t move even 100k units but they’re still working on a second generation one that will cost less proves that. That’s kind of what everyone’s being saying about this ever since the price was first announced.

Bruh. Obviously. The person said pay off their mortgage, which is distinctly different from making a mortgage payment. Jfc.

Also, the Vision Pro isn’t outrageously expensive, it’s just expensive. It’s not even just Apple. MSI, Asus, Lenovo, Dell, and Acer all have laptops in the $3,000+ range. I don’t really understand what your point is really, there’s tons of shit that I couldn’t afford for the decade I made minimum wage, but that I can afford now that I make much more. I wasn’t mad those things existed when I couldn’t afford them, and I definitely didn’t think they shouldn’t exist just because they were out of my budget.

What’s the deal with the periods in between paragraphs?

As someone who has fired a ton of live rounds as well as a ton of blanks, I don’t understand how anyone can’t tell whether they fired one or the other.

It’s $3,500. That’s the price of a specced up MacBook Pro. That’s almost half the price of the Pro Display XDR. I mean I didn’t buy one because it is pretty expensive, plus I barely use my Index, but it’s definitely not “pay of your mortgage” level of expensive.

Bruh. I would have never noticed that, so thanks for bringing it up. 5.21k does look like a “biglier” number than 5,210 if you’re a fucking idiot I guess.

Hahaha they think I actually own a phone.

For real. It’s an iPhone 4s, if the wait was really that bad the person could have just gotten a grey market cellebrite ufed and been done with this whole thing. They sell for like $300-$400 on eBay ffs.

Ok, I’ve read about couple articles about this letter now. All of them have the same information, and all are lacking the same information.

So this guy drops off a box at someone’s house, with a note talking about how he failed to assassinate Trump. The person with the box opens it up when this guy hits the news, arrested for the assassination attempt.

Did this guy expect to fail? Why was there only a note detailing his failed attempt, and not another one in the case he was successful?

Was he just hoping this someone with the box would go through it when he was on the news?

My gut is telling me that if there was only a failure note this whole thing was either a sham, or the person with the box knew something was going down and threw out the letter for the scenario that didn’t play out. I feel like an insane conspiracy nut job thinking like this though, but this is weird right? What kind of person who has such conviction of belief that they’re willing to kill a person goes in to it expecting to fail?

Jokes on you, I have a fairphone running graphene.

They’ll just wind up on Chinese spy phones.

The illegal goods on telegram aren’t piracy related.

Yeah I bought the original destiny collectors edition, with the little ghost collectible toy thing and all that. I never even bothered playing the second game.

I had read that he had gone to Ukraine multiple times to try to fight, I have not read anything about him actually fighting.

The G series of LG TVs comes with a flush wall mount kit and no stand at all.

My LG GX came with no stand.

Outside of posting archive links to paywalls content people should make it a habit to share as canonical a link as they can imo, but yes this is a very much not important in the grand scheme of things.

I mean developers still haven’t really abandoned the PS4 have they? I’ve pretty much stopped playing games on my PS4, but last I checked any new release I would have wanted was coming out on both PS4 and PS5.

I feel you. Like 10 years ago I was trying to figure out the best way to let some friends know when pirated media hit the share i gave them access to. Some had discord, some didn’t, some had slack, some didn’t. Everyone could view tweets back then, even without an account, and the application I was using had twitter webhooks built in.

I made an account and used it solely for webhooks tweeting out what movies and shows hit the server, and what format/resolution they were. Everything was fine for a few months, then I upgraded servers and didn’t bother transferring over my media collection bc I was broke back then and needed to reuse the drives, and didn’t have enough extra space to back the media content up to anywhere. I figured that since I had something like 7Gbps symmetrical (technically shared with an apartment building but I had my own queue) I’d just redownload my terabytes of shit ezpz.

Welp, it was ezpz, all except getting banned by twitter because I was posting at some insane rate, as every download of individual episodes of random tv shows from the 90s completed.

Why in the fuck is copyright protection longer than patent protection? I feel like both should be 10-20 years maximum, but if you have to full on invent something, then work out production, the get sales going, I can see an argument for 20 years. But just drawing a fucking mouse gets you life of creator plus years beyond that?

I guess Disney isn’t waiting for competitors IP to hit public domain, but another type of company lobbying for longer patent terms might wind up with an own goal by locking themselves out of using some newly refined processes or something? It just seems really weird they haven’t been increased together.
