Trying, not releasing

If they added automatic online account collation and mass deletion I’d pay them $100 on the spot to wipe the hundreds of random accounts I have on sites/services I never use and often have never used.

How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??

Nilay’s point is that the Vision Pro is by far the best implementation of this kind of device yet - possibly just about as good as is actually possible - and yet still suffers severe issues as a result. Usually Apple waits and learns until they can launch a product that is well considered and that often shows the industry how to move forward, yet in this case it’s quite possible that they’ve actually just demonstrated that this kind of computing fundamentally doesn’t work.

To be fair, Chrome was vastly superior to Firefox for ages in the early 2010’s

I really don’t understand how things like this get made.

Microblogs like Mastodon are excellent for following specific people, and for getting an overview of the current zeitgeist. Forums like Lemmy are excellent for following specific topics. Both are useful in different ways.

I have an M1 Pro 16 and love it, but its already huge $3750 AUD price tag has ballooned to $4250 for the M3 Pro 16 whose only difference is the chip. I love my MacBook but unless Apple returns to earth with their pricing and/or makes the machines worth that much by providing more than the barest essential specs at those prices, I will be buying something else when this MacBook is done.

MacBook. Probably an M2 Air.

Obviously you should talk to your wife yada yada like everyone else said, but my opinion is that a MacBook would be best. Best battery life, screens etc plus the ecosystem stuff you mentioned with her iPhone.
