That’s how I react to those bubbles. It means any image I send is going to be compressed to shit and be utterly unrecognizable. Messages will sent out of order or not at all. Group chats are completely fucked.

I’m sure Apple shares a lot of the blame, but holy shit how is this not solved in 2024. I shouldn’t have to resort to spam filled shitware from Meta to get remotely modern messaging cross platform

Hope rcs pans out and soon

Just stopping by to say that I understood the obvious sarcasm/joke

Just chiming in to say your english is great! Ty for the writeup

Yes

Oh look, a completely fallacious and divisive comment

Spoiler: they think the horsey is worth it

It’s okay, I got the joke 🤗

Idk I can think of a few others…

Edit: I take issue with the ridiculous editorialization in the title. MOST transparent? Of ALL TIME?? What about the Khmer Rouge? The Holocaust? Uighyrs? Not every fucked up atrocity has to be the most impressive of all time to warrant an article…

Because they failed miserably to market it tbh. Apple is a marketing company that also makes computers that I think are cool sometimes

Wow yeah that is ridiculous lol. I have only seen MKBHD and Norm from Tested talk about it, and I sought those out. Marketing aside I think once they refine the product and price point it could be pretty compelling! I hope nobody is crossing streets with it in the meantime…

good point. there are plenty of duds to be fair, but vision pro seems like it could be the start of something really cool for VR

anyone shitting on apple’s innovation clearly has not used m1/2 etc. I’m not a fanboy but m1 is an absolute gamechanger for me as a dev. It is night and day. Truly mindblowing levels of performance compared to top spec intels from a few years ago

Have you seen much marketing for it? I’ve had to seek it out. Vision pro is pretty neat to me, especially with how sharp it is and the ability to use with my macbook seamlessly, but sure as shit ain’t worth 3,500. I think there are really well-executed ideas in there. That is what Apple does, not necessarily invent from scratch, but refine a concept and work it into their pretty walled garden.

It doesn’t seem like Apple is aiming to make massive profit off this, seems very very gen 1 early adopter limited run. Seems odd to me there would be a full on marketing blitz other than fanboy and tech enthusiast reviews and hype.

e: i accidentally a word

And it’s ✨ open source ✨

Then you should know about methadone and other harm reduction measures intended to help wean people from their addiction or make them safer while they are still under its grip. This is the same idea.

I appreciate the sentiment, but this is less beer versus liquor and more a lethal dose of rat poison vs corn syrup. Both bad, but one a fair but more damaging than the other. (simplifying a lot & not the greatest metaphor, but you get it)

Good luck with sobriety! o7

I think perhaps you should look into this more.

Combustion creates lots of nasty chemicals. Sure vaping has nasty chemicals sometimes too, but if it is properly regulated and studied, it appears to be a great method of harm reduction. Granted, we should take steps to ensure children aren’t tantalized by them as best we can, but let’s not shit on harm reduction.

I take it you have never taken nicotine in any capacity then. This is not “nic sick” but that “first hit of the day.” Happened to me and everyone I knew when i smoked cigs, and when I kicked it for vaping, and when I kicked that for gum, patches, and lozenges. It’s lightheadedness caused by replacing all your air with not air AND the head rush of nicotine.

That said OP should kick the habit if they can anyway (:

AMAZING. Bless you

cmatrix too!
