    We have tech conventions like CES which prove you extremely wrong but alright.

      Adding ChatGPT to an ebike or adding “AI” to a pet door is basically what’s going on in the Patrick meme.

        If your toaster doesn’t even have a companion app, is it all really worth it?

          Yes! I pay extra for products these days if they don’t require spying apps.

        I thought we were talking about how Iphones are nearly identical with a new price tag. Technology as a whole is progressing wonderfully, just not Apple.

          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

            The $999 monitor stand sold seperately and the wireless mouse you have to flip upside down to charge have been my champions of their incompetency. I’m sure they’ve done good elsewhere but start to finish I think they’re a company that preys on people’s stupidity.

              I find Iphones pretty stupid. Thought you were joking with the mouse. Knowing their userbase, it was probably a success anyway.

              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

                Microsoft already built, launched, and abandoned that tech in the Hololens before Apple even released their first announcement. That’s not innovation, that’s copying.

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

                    I agree with you. They also misjudged their target market considerably. They seemed to think it would have a lot of commercial and industrial applications and they wouldn’t need the consumer market. I agree that there are tons of industrial and commercial areas that would benefit from AR, but those types of companies are usually pretty resistant to change, and even more resistant to spending money on experimental technology. It’ll eventually happen, but they were very early to the market, kind of like Google was with the Glass.
