See, there goes that ego again. Gotta try to make yourself feel and believe you're better than everyone else. Gotta try to talk down to everyone else. What an alpha.

Can you imagine someone keeping their same opinion throughout one whole thread over one whole day? And not saying things off subject?! The nerve. Oh well, I guess if the guy only talks about Facebook in a post about Facebook and doesn't concede to your beliefs he must be a shill. The guy posts plenty of shit that isn't pro-facebook related, and most of his comments here aren't facebook related but general tech, software, and hardware related.

But I'm going to go ahead and block you so you can get over it and go back to your closed minded better-than-thou mentality.

Reply to comment by rush2547 in Apple, Google, and Samsung have released the most iterative updates to their top-tier phones this fall. But all three have also released new smartwatches that are more interesting than they’ve ever been, reinvigorating a category that’s been stagnant for more than half a decade. by speckz

That & the satellite SOS functionality, which is only really something that a tiny number of people will ever need. Neither of those really explain the price jump though, it's apple doing what apple does. Making an ok product that integrates perfectly into their ecosystem then charging way more than it's really worth because no one else can build anything that works as good in the ecosystem.

I honestly don't use and hate Facebook. That's beside the point. The second anyone has a different opinion than you they MUST be a shill. God forbid someone see things differently or know more than you. I assume it's a defense mechanism to protect your ego.

The big difference is the 100m depth allowance and depth sensor which is a significant feature if youre into diving. Eventually that tech will trickle down but thats the reason for the 400$ markup in my opinion. It's targeted for a smaller demographic but history shows people will still buy the high tier as a status symbol or because they can. Couple that with monthly financing built into your wireless plan and its more accessible.

The raw data is useless. What that data tells the algorithms is the danger, and that’s what will be sold.

Eye and face tracking will be crucial to advanced VR/AR. It can also be used for very bad things. Like showing you a grid of pictures and finding out what weird shit you’re into. You keep looking at butts in VR chat? A particular type of character?Profiled. Sold.

That’s why Meta/Facebook/Zuckerberg is the last entity you want to fuck around with.
