Forcing Apple to replace Lightning with USB-C is super annoying. It’s anti-design and anti-user. Governments should stay the fuck out of tech unless it’s like firearms or exploding phones or safety issues, etc.
People have no idea how fuckign annoying it’s going to be. There are already a bunch of different usb-c types that look identical and are labeled as usb-c and using the wrong one can damage the port or cable. Just let us have our expensive apple tech. We’re all happy over-paying for apple design, even when it’s not perfect.
- Actually no, this is good. This stupid Apple lightning port that is only on iPhones (but none of their other products) is anti-design/ anti-user.NBQ00
- You can connect an Android phone directly to the Mac but need a fucking dongle to connect an iPhone, wtf.NBQ00
- One standard connector port technology like USB-C now and in future across all tech (Android or iPhones, Macs or PC) is the best.NBQ00
- ^ like I said, people have no idea what usb-c isnb
- USB-C is reversible and has 24 pins.
What are you on about?palimpsest - no such thing as anti-designrobthelad
- Anti user? It’s a good thing having a standard shared.monospaced
- Also USB C is all the same shape. It won’t damage anything. Are you confusing it with micro usb?monospaced
- you know those times when you type something out then wisely decide not to post because it's completely fucking stupid?face_melter
- You’ll find out. You’ll see.nb
- Also, attempting to create one standard that will live on in the future is absurd hubris. It’s completely ignoring the history of technologynb
- The problem with usb-c is that many non-compatible standards have been built into a single plug design that is impossible to recognize visuallynb
- A device with a Type-C connector does not necessarily implement any USB transfer protocol, USB Power Delivery, or any of the Alternate Modes:nb
- the Type-C connector is common to several technologies while mandating only a few of them. - source: Wikipedianb
- Maybe you’ll believe me after you’ve fried a usb-c cable because the one device or the cable wasn’t compatible.nb
- Or maybe you’ll believe after you’ve spent hours researching and buying and returning different usb-c cables because usb-c isn’t one standard at all.nb
- All the ports on every device and cable will look the same and yet sometimes not work. This is worse than usb-anb
- I understand the desire to have one cable for everything but a) that’s actually not great design and b) usb-c isn’t one standard anywaynb
- OK, chief.palimpsest
- wtf are you talking about then? and why wouldn't USB-C be a great standard? which it is so far, in my opinion.NBQ00
- Give it time. You’ll seenb
- I've been using USB-C almost exclusively FOR MANY YEARS on laptops, headphones, kids toys, Nintendos, vape pens, monitors, HDs, and on and on...monospaced
- Not only are all the cables identical and perfectly interchangeable guaranteed, they also have never failed and I've never ever even heard of a burn out or fry.monospaced
- The only devices we have that don't use USB-C are the iPhones and it's long overdue. Now you're iPhone can connect directly to more devices.monospaced
- And, yes, of course I know they have differing data speeds, it's not like they can just fail, they just slow things down.monospaced
- Oh, lucky you. I’ve experienced it.nb
- You can no longer claim that you’ve never heard about a burnout or fry. I’m telling you.nb
- He's still going on about this.i_monk
- lolmonospaced
- I’ve not heard of a usb c cable frying or burning because it doesn’t happen. Can’t even find anyone reporting it anywhere.monospaced
- Except for you, but you aren’t really reliable on the subject based on your post here.monospaced
- Let him live his truth.palimpsest
- it does happen, with cheap shit that they've slapped usb-c connectors on to sell but doesn't fully implement the spec.kingsteven
- but apple is the company pushing the spec on high power USB-C, and uses USB-C on almost everything else. i didn't read the sidenotes.kingsteven
- Apple isn’t the only company. Almost everyone else was on usb c already. Apples late as usual.monospaced
- Ummmm do you think I’m lying about my experience with usb-c and Apple? Looool ok. Talk about fanboysnb
- fanboys but you're the one saying that apple's proprietary connector for accessories is better than the standard?kingsteven
- i have 30 usb-c cables and know the ones that are high-power, TB4, USB-4. DP, use the wrong one and it'll charge or transfer data slower... that's it.kingsteven
- i blew up one thing with a high power usb charger (charging case for a pair of cheap chinese headphones) and when i went to return there was a product recallkingsteven
- because even companies making £30 bluetooth headphones know thats a fault.kingsteven
- i'd quite happily plug any phone or high-end bit of gear in to anything using a decent cable.kingsteven
- Just because something hasn’t happened to you, doesn’t mean that it doesnt happen.nb

dis or dat?
m1 max 32gb ram 1tb hd £2899
or
m3 pro 36gb ram 500gb hd £2699
(both new)which one is the better buy?
- m3ok_not_ok
- i'd go for the m3 pro too but upgrade to 1tb driveNBQ00
- is the m3 that much better than the m1? £3199 for the 1tb m3...hans_glib
- seems helluva jump in price to me.hans_glib
- then keep the 500gb drive and get a cheap external drive if you need more space.NBQ00
- Best RAM ever!utopian
- hd upgrade should only be £200 from 512-1TB. I couldn't do a 512GB, i have 450GB on my desktop rn.kingsteven
- A 500 gb hard drive doesn't come close to cutting it even if you only have software on it. I struggle all the time with a 1 GB internal drive.CyBrainX
- Sorry, but Mac are overpriced af... Wait a month for a x4 PC for half the money, and upgradable... A total jokeOBBTKN

- first there were the glass-holes, now what will we call these dorks?hans_glib
- i hope they make a pirate version with one side missing....neverscared
- only 2,999$ for the low res version and 4,999$ for hi res version. Its our best Vision Pro yetHAL9001
- Just like the 1st iphone ad
https://www.youtube.…spl33nidoru - $3500 for the only version and it’s the best spatial computing device by spec so farmonospaced
- It’s absolutely not for me, but no doubt apples approach will set the standard and will be copied relentlessly.monospaced
- No females were consulted during the design process apparently. No way my wife is going thru her 30-40 minute morning make-up routine.jonny_quest_lives
- only to derail it all midday to take a zoom spatial computing calljonny_quest_lives
- https://i.insider.co…jonny_quest_lives
- I wouldn’t get one anyway but ... Deal breaker for me is that I’d have to pay a lot more for my prescription and as a glasses wearer I can’t be alone.monospaced
- Now watch Google copy them.palimpsest
- Our best VR headset ever!utopian
- Meta lost $46.5 Billion betting on VR/Augmented/Spatial computing and their most expensive headset was $1000.jonny_quest_lives
- Not entirely sure where Apple is gonna squeeze a profit from on this product.jonny_quest_lives

I am total mac fuccboi, but have zero interest in this clusterfuckautoflavour - Version 1.0 of the hardware and the most critiqued bits of the software are still in beta.ideaist
- Civilized humans are jaded brats, like the lot of QBN!ideaist
- Most things could be improved via software updates aside from having to carry around a battery pack and the strap situation. (front heavy).kalkal
- Unless you're happy to hack it apart with a custom strap solution which chances are, you probably aren't.kalkal
- is he still wearing that fucking goofy studded wristband?face_melter
- I liked his comment and look towards the end.."who wants to use a computer that is always looking at your hands?"dee-dubs
- FOV is a bit of a shocker < 110 deg. was expecting better than that when the standard is 120 - 135 on new high end headsets.kingsteven

wearing $3.5K's worth of electronics on your face while looking over boiling water and a frying pan with hot oil?
vs.
less than 50kr from an online retailer.
fuck this silly shit.
- you know, it does more than set timers right?monospaced
- i think he meant hot oil spray back you autistephix
- at the risk of setting timers. but yes of course it does more.ephix
- excuse me?monospaced
- No, he was talking about the timer ffs. Autist? I guess you have to be a special kind of asshole to call someone that, especially since you’re fucking wrong.monospaced
- like totally agree its stupid price for that, but as an actual functional use.. its kind of coolautoflavour
- still have zero interest in purchasingautoflavour
- my lazy ass didnt scroll far enough to see the timer. the hot oil comment still comes to play though. but i am sorry.ephix
- yeah, that's typical of a autistic cunt, to just mouth off like a spastic twit, before even bothering to comprehend something completely. Fucking assholemonospaced
- apology accepted, because you clearly can't control your severe autism and how it makes you an absolutely miserable piece of human garbage.monospaced

^ I agree, that and trying to use it as a work tool for writing emails and other nonsense is just absurd.
BUT
where I see this going in 2-5 years is nuts.
hear me out.
Imagine putting this on your head and heading out to a local pitch, then with a click of a button you're transported to Azteca stadium in '86 watching Maradona dribble through the inept England defence to score the goal of the century, or watch him out-jump a hapless Peter Shilton to score the legendary hand of god goal. imagine yourself on the pitch as you witness it first hand as if you were a player?
what about being there the night Kobe scored 82? you could be in a local gym that's transformed into the lakers arena as you witness the legendary performance not from curtsied but from the court itself.
Imagine being front row watching Freddy mercury play live aid?
what about sitting on the grassy knoll while JFK drives by, seconds before he gets blown to bits?
Imagine sitting in a bar and next to you a bunch or wise guys are asking each other how are they funny?
Through this tech and the help of AI we're not too far off.
Anyone want to invest a couple of million to make this happen? Andy oils sheikhs on here lol- or lining up with Usain Bolt as he runs the record breaking 9.58 at the olympics?_niko
- What are you, fucking five? Grow the fuck up********
- Saying that, what about a Ted Bundy simulator?********
- what about a crazyprick getting raped in jail simulation? and you can choose bubba or tyrone...or the tossed salad man._niko
- Apple already is giving people 3D video creation tools to use with this. Just the start.monospaced
- the techbros drive to escape reality is so weird - they seem to want everyone to be distracted / insulated from what's going on around them. bizarre.hans_glib
- @_niko your stupid father would love that, faggot********
- yeah but you'd love that more. Don't fight who you are._niko
- I don't think so. Your father is beyond faggy. It's hard to beat that old, prolapsed cunt.********
- You must be thinking of your mom_niko
- Nope********
- Nobody putting this on is then 'heading out to a local pitch'.i_monk
- teams will. anything to get an edge, imagine replaying games inside the action vs on screen. mark my words. This is a coaches wet dream._niko
- My kid's games are already recorded using AI, it finds all the highlights and creates clips, generates stats, including heat maps, shots, possession% pass strin_niko
- ...strings and tons more. Trust me this is the next logical evolution and the tech is pretty much there._niko
