    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

    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

    • 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

    • $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

    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

    ^ 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
