RE: use cases.
At SXSW last year when demoing a bunch of VR experiences, one company told us that they're used in a few places in burn units where patients are getting skin grafts and other painful procedures. The VR environment distracts them and reduces their conscious awareness of the pain of it in a big way.
Thought that was pretty cool.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.…jonny_quest_lives
- These results suggest VR requires a significant time commitment from staff for implementation. One clear disadvantage was the lack of on-site technical supportjonny_quest_lives
- gotta keep costs low to preserve the healthcare markupjonny_quest_lives
- Western healthcare has never been about quality patient carejonny_quest_lives
- "Further research is needed to determine if VR benefits are worth the implementation costs."jonny_quest_lives
- shittiest timeline material right there...jonny_quest_lives
- yeah for sure the medical world is going to be using them, also for mental health things, trauma etc.shapesalad

The Vision Pro is still no iPhone.
When the iPhone came out, it just made sense compared to all the mobile phones we had at the time. It was instantly desirable and seemingly the solution we had all been looking for from a mobile phone device.
The Vision Pro from a tech and UI/UX perspective is top tier and highly refined and considered... but it's not an "ahhhh... that's what we want!" sort of solution.
- Yup. I was no Apple fan but I saw its value and bought one.formed
- exactly, it's the segway of devices. Great tech but unneeded and dorky as fuck._niko
- hot takekingsteven
- Perhaps, but there were plenty of naysayers and people mocking apple for the iPhone back theninteliboy
- Also no one really saw in the future that it basically ended up being a social media computer and rotted societyinteliboy
- The vision - who knows what it will look like in 10 years.inteliboy

- Perhaps its more like a 'trackpad'.. great tech that in the future is combined with something else, then it makes sense. eg now we have touch screen phones etcshapesalad
- to be fair, iPhone was supposed to be a better version of what everyone already had, a mobile phonemonospaced
- this isn't that, it's just an apple version of a very niche market, and a niche price, and isn't meant to disrupt an established industrymonospaced

"So Apple’s new #VisionPro headset is out, and it looks like a cool product. I happened to work on it five years ago, so here’s a number of thoughts on the gadget. This is long and rambling, and all of my first-hand information is five years old, so make of it what you will.1/"
- This kinda reminds of the first iPhones stories - if history repeats itself with this new tech Apple will again change the world...grafician

- those that need glasses, have to pay out a shed load for lenses to use this thing... then consider prescription updates...shapesalad

Underrated but such a time-saver in MacOS: Being able to select text from images and from videos directly in any type style is so useful.
If you think back just 5 or so years ago this wasn't really possible or thought of.
- How? I've still recently used fee /OCR online services. My iphone does it really easily though.HAYZ1LLLA
- *free OCRHAYZ1LLLA
- What do you mean how? All you have to do is select text in images or videos, that easy.NBQ00
- It's a hidden setting:
Sys settings->General->L... & Region ... LIVE TEXT
Make sure its turned on.Centigrade

Brand new M2 MBP with all the upgrades and the spacebar squeaks like I'm fingerbanging a mouse repeatedly.
I use a wireless keyboard in the office but I'm at home today so using the laptop keyboard for the first time.
Un-fucking-believable.
- is this good or bad?oey_oey
- My left cmd key broke when my mbp was 9 months out of warranty, apple fixed it for free anyway. Inconvenient, but at least you know there will be no pushback.slappy
- Have the M2 Pro MBP too, no issues at all. The keyboard is amazing and huge improvement over the past ones.NBQ00
- yep, squeak. no squeak issues squeak at squeak all.kingsteven
- Brand new? Send it back, why whine here?comicsans
- Dude, send it back! The squeaky keyboard gets the grease.jmckinno
- Word on the apple forums is they won't de-squeak because it is "cosmetic" issue. It has to break to be considered faulty.sausages
- finger banging mice is never a good lookautoflavour
- Manufacturing problems are common. That is why they have warranties.comicsans

Spare a thought for those that make your iphones and macbooks.

Anyone grab an MacBook Air m2? Any problems running Adobe cc?
- Mine arrives this week, I'll let you know. Two week wait if you want the extra RAM (AUS).slappy
- Problems with latest MacOS
don't upgradegrafician - @niko, I'm running 13.4, the currently latest version, and I see no issues, and neither do the other 150 people on our team. No problems running Adobe CC.monospaced
- cheers guys, grabbed it and yeah no issues, runs really smoothly, fingers crossed it stays that way_niko
- No issues here either.slappy

"EXCLUSIVE: Apple is developing generative AI tools and an internal chatbot app called "Apple GPT" that could take on OpenAI and Google"
- Okay who downvoted this!? This is very good news, are you dumb?!grafician
- I did. AI can suck a dick********
- You do realise that when Apple gets in the game is usually with a very high quality product that beats everybody else, so running local LLMs uuuh sweetgrafician
- Btw have you tried Apple Maps these past years? It's above Google maps in almost any way today, just sayinggrafician
- Yes, the did fantastic wheels for Mac Pro. Absolutely stunning, cutting edge stuff.********
- disagree on Apple maps... Apple maps was largely useless in both Taiwan and Japan when I traveled there this year... google maps hands downjonny_quest_lives
- apple maps is utter garbage.hans_glib
- Of course Apple maps sucks ass and grafician is a dirty, stinkin' Apple fanboy.********
- "Our Best AI GPT" Ever!" - Tim Cookutopian
- He said, you’re an idiot if you downvote this. Because Apple is the BEST. Morons.monospaced
- DOA, just like Siri is now. Their "privacy" bs killed any possibility here, unless they let another company do the dirty work, which I doubt.formed
- Someone always calls it DOA before it’s released and is a huge success. No doubt Apple will use AI as a major Siri updatemonospaced

How long until MacOS takes over as the most used desktop operating system globally?
- Not in my lifetime, by a long shot. I'd bet on ChromeOS before MacOS. Windows just crushes it, though, no threat to them.formed
- https://gs.statcount…formed
- Never, loser********
- Macs are too expensive to take over globallyFNP14
- Is it even on a real up tick?monospaced
- Yes. I think ever since the iPhone introduction the iPhone "glow" helped Mac sales. Windows is declining year after year.NBQ00
- Bullshit. Windows spits on MacOS year after year********
- iPhone came out over 15 years ago. macOS gained a couple percent of market share.monospaced
- Mac (OS) marketshare used to be 2%-5% at some point. It's now at 20%: https://gs.statcount…NBQ00
- In 2009 OS X market share was 4%, so that's a substantial increase: https://gs.statcount…NBQ00
- So give it another 100 years, assuming that initial momentum is sustainable (it's not).formed

My apple pencil took a shit. Found out they can’t be repaired and they’re like a hundred bucks to replace.
Found this $30 one on amazon and it works beautifully!
- like every other over-priced thing, it's from same factory that makes the original in China, they just changed the color :)_niko
- You get what you pay for. Always; perceived or otherwise.ideaist
- great find! didn‘t know it’s possible. expected from apple to somehow block this:) cool choice of colors!uan
- I needed this! thank you! Does it magnet?robthelad
- It does. Boners.robthelad

was reminded today my 2017 MacBook Pro is old. went to book a battery replacement and they told me its a legacy device and no longer stock batteries..
like fuck off, apart from the battery it still runs everything I need..
- Still has USB C charging? Gaffa tape a 20,000mah battery pack to the back of it?slappy
- You can do a DIY upgrade from OWC, or hire a tech to do it since disassembly isn't fun: https://eshop.macsal…evilpeacock
- ifixit and let your kid do the assembly.uan
- ...+1 for any/all OWC upgrades. Take your time AND reward yourself heavily once complete!ideaist

Just spent two hours trying to reconnect to wifi after rebooting the router.
1. Could see my network the entire time, including signal strength, but said it could not be joined. All other devices reconnected without issue.
2. Apple's advice is generally useless; obvious stuff like "make sure you're connecting to the right network" and paradoxically "check for updates" (how?).
3. Network Diagnostics is absolutely useless if you can't connect, but the OS keeps suggesting it.
4. Rebooting and resetting the SMC and PRAM, nenewing the DHCP made no difference.
5. It could tell if I used the wrong password, but refused to connect when using the right one.
6. Eventually solved by force quitting SystemUIServer, thanks to a reply on the Apple stackexchange (and not the accepted answer).Infuriating.
- Problems like this are usually cacheing issues. Router knows you have an IP and refuses to give it to you again. Rebooting the router might have worked.comicsans
- Rebooted it twice after the initial reboot.i_monk
- Also timeouts, some things just resolve themselves after a couple of hours. But yes, maddening when it happens.comicsans
- interesting - i'm having the same issue at the mo. it must be the russianshans_glib
