Games that restore faith in the industry?
  • Here are 6 good games I wholeheartedly recommend:

    • Baldurs Gate 3, speaks for itself.
    • Disco Elysium, elevates the whole medium to art
    • Hifi Rush, innovation and entertainment
    • Snowrunner, ok this one’s just for me.
    • The Outer Wilds, very interesting, go in spoiler free
    • Return of the Obra Din, puzzle game like nothing you’ve played before
  • A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades
  • Agree with all of this, however there isn’t any need to tone down release schedules. There being a new product doesn’t force you to buy it, however it does mean that when you do come to buy it there is a fresh model available. For example imagine if they adopt a 3 year release cycle and you break your phone on year 2.9, now you’re forced to buy a model with a 3 year out of date feature that will itself be obsolete faster, especially since a new model is round the corner. This isn’t the best system. Better the phone companies keep making the latest tech available, so when you do need to buy you can get the phone with the longest life ahead of it.

  • Apple Store Down Ahead of iPhone 15 Pre-Orders
  • Yeah the prospect of throwing down a couple of months rent… for precisely what value add (?) is going to be a hard sell for Apple.

    Yeah you can watch a film, on your own, on a big virtual screen for $3500 rather than watch the tv that you already own in the company of your friends and family for free.

    Or you can use your computer, but with a big floating virtual screen, which is a good thing I guess for $3500, or buy a large real monitor for $100+ dependant on demands, and not wear a heavy dorky headset with limited battery life.

    There is nothing that other tech doesn’t do for cheaper (and often better) even when you combine the price of the multiple products you would have to buy to cover all use cases. Except maybe viewing weird 3D photos… great.

    This product is isolating and antisocial with limited battery and it’s hugely expensive with no good usp. Looks to me like a rare Apple L.

  • Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
  • That’s not apples to apples. If you spec a windows laptop, good luck getting the same performance and the same battery life and portability at the same price. Also build quality, screen, speaker and trackpad quality will likely not be at apples level from the windows machine. If that’s what you’re in the market for Apple machines are not bad. For instance a photographer/videographer working on location, truly amazing for them. Should everyone buy one? No. Are there a 100 better ways to spend the money if you don’t have that specific Apple favoured use case. Sure, e.g. your mum doesn’t need a MacBook Pro for Facebook / Amazon browsing and your cousin shouldn’t buy a Mac Studio for gaming. But use cases do exist, and for those people Macs are genuinely a good proposition.
