Ironically, it seems third party apps are still working. Still, if you’re for the protest, abstain from using even third party apps during the blackout.

Wow, it just says “You Broke Reddit.” I think that’s very much on purpose and not a tongue in cheek server error.

This article was as saccharine as this series has become...

This is stupid...AI has always been a part of video game creation...It’s been used constantly for procedurally generating content, maps, characters, etc...to think this is anything new or appalling is naive and reactionary.

This sounds like snake oil.

This sounds like snake oil.

mhm...really misleading...because they made it sound like you didn’t need the external battery pack.  So I’m pretty sure on the keynote, they said “The headset lasts 2hrs, or all day when plugged in.” and they showed the battery being attached when they said that...it really made it look and sound like it had an all…

Oh that’s fucking bullshit...of course something plugged into the wall can last all day...smh...

I’m pretty sure the Vive Pro is tethered and does not have a battery, the original Vive did not have a battery and was very light. The Valve Index is also tethered and does not have a battery.

I really don’t think heat and myopia are the biggest issues with headsets going mainstream. I think the number one problem that needs to be solved is software. VR has yet to truly have a killer app that EVERYONE needs to have. The problem is you need to justify putting the headset on. What is so worth it that you will…

Wait really?  In the keynote, they said all day battery life.

Pro has lost its meaning as a true “Professional” label, but I think its meaning as a label for a premium products still rings true. At $3,500 it’s significantly more expensive than every other VR headset on the market. It is, however, comparable to the HoloLens 2, but I think the HoloLens is currently target toward…

In my defense, I posted that when this article only had two announcements on it.  The article was written in the past tense, as if the event was over, even though it was still taking place...Gizmodo usually does a live blog thread and then this article functions as the recap...I was really confused...

Yeah...I figured that out.  The article was written in the past tense when I posted, as if the conference was already over and Apple only announced two things.  Usually Gizmodo has a live blog thread and then this article functions as the recap...for whatever reason they decided to combine the two...it was really…

You sound like an asshole. When I posted my comment, there were only two things on this list. The headline still read, “Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2023,” even though it was still taking place. I was not aware the conference was still in progress. The article was even written as if it was over. The opening…

This sounds like an incredibly underwhelming conference.

It’s about “waiting.” That’s it. In absurdist artwork and theatre, you’re really only supposed to take things at face value, but based on how the piece makes you think and feel, you can have your own personal interpretation. A lot of absurdist art may be done as a specific metaphor for something else (like the play…

That’s a good question...I would assume it means it sucked up everything around it.

After a quick google search, it seems a dormant black hole is one that is no longer emitting high energy radiation and is longer interacting with its environment.

The habit of “solving” an art piece is admittedly a hard habit to break, and to a certain extent, I think it is something that has to be taught. I always think of “Waiting for Godot” and the work of Samuel Beckett. So many people, even people who continue to produce stagings of Godot, are quick to ask and answer those…

It really is an interesting phenomenon, I think it speaks to our desire to understand things and have answers. Maybe it stems from a primal fear of the unknown. I think people are hoping or believing that by expanding an image with AI it will add context to a piece of art so that they may better understand and enjoy…

I just wish businesses would stop trying to redesign the QR code to make it look more interesting.  Half the time my phone can’t even recognize it as a QR code.
