Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED
  • Just a PSA for those who don’t know… no shade against Odysee… I’ve just encountered folks here who don’t know this:

    Veritassium and many others on YouTube make their living by the advertising shown on YT. If you’re a premium member, even more money goes to the creator when you watch their content. It’s this very money that allows independent creators to create more / better content!

  • Apple's Vision Pro headset deserves to be ridiculed
  • I stopped reading after the second paragraph:

    The Vision Pro looks sleek in an Apple-y way, but it also looks pretty ridiculous. The company clearly imagines us wearing this headset throughout our days and interacting with people as if there isn’t a large device strapped to our heads

    If you squint your eyes, every single headset looks the same. Big dumb block goes on head. Arms flail around. And this imagined future he speaks of has been exactly the promise of what computing could be for decades. Longer.

    I personally gave up there because I’m tired of reading so much negativity and hate for the sake of hate and clicks.

  • YouTube Premium announces 100 million subscribers
  • How so?

    • I enjoy so many cooking shows, tech nerds, and drag queens that post videos that make me happy on YouTube.
    • I watch on my tv primarily
    • I’m so so so happy to support the individual creators who pour their life and so much love into their work, premium pays them more per view than ad-supported views.
    • I share with some friends, and they share their logins with me. Overall, my monthly cost for video services is low.
    • Usenet everything else ;)
  • Apple Has Sold Approximately 200,000 Vision Pro Headsets
  • Looks like CS-2 runs on a Mac fairly well with no extra hardware or virtualized OS installed. https://youtu.be/7g41rsoTlVg

    Far cry 6 as well! https://youtu.be/UybZXgs-5a0

    Apple’s game porting toolkit and their M-series hardware is pretty spectacular stuff. Honestly, it doesn’t matter at all that these games are not native as long as they run. And they run seemingly well even on first gen M-series hardware.

    I think the point above about being able to run just about anything still stands.

  • Apple Has Sold Approximately 200,000 Vision Pro Headsets
  • I’m just curious of an example of a game or two you play that’s not available on Mac. There’s some newish tech that allows Macs to virtualize/emulate windows tech including DirectX 12. Not coming for you I’m just curious to test those waters.

    (I don’t play computer games, sorry for not knowing)

  • Apple Has Sold Approximately 200,000 Vision Pro Headsets
  • Not sure why you’re getting downvoted on that. It’s factually accurate. You can easily run unsigned code from anywhere on a Mac, unwalled, no problem. I’ve got a SAB / radarr / sonarr / HASS server running on old hardware with a current OS and… it’s great.

    Also isn’t Xcode free? So you can literally “simply“ download, develop, and run

  • After getting crushed by Apple and Google in smartphones, BlackBerry is in their sights again
  • Just out of curiosity, what car manufacturer are you talking about? My recent (2022) Audi OS was slow and incredibly unintuitive, and the only thing I found useful about it was CarPlay.

    “Whatever Google and Apple shovels at the auto industry” is popular with regular folk because their experiences are responsive and intuitive… at least that’s been the case for me in several cars.
