Reply to comment by InvalidEntrance in Steam Deck Is Reaching Its Limits in Games Like Plague Tale: Requiem by ardi62
I mean.... I hope I can play starfield on it.
I know it's a long shot but it's my only avenue to play that game and a man can hope right?

Cutting edge product and market are not the same as cutting edge technology. You guys are talking about different things.

It's not always that people think the individual product is technologically better, sometimes they just prefer the overall experience of using the products. Just because you don't find the experience more appealing than other products doesn't mean that everyone else was 'manipulated', people can just have different opinions with different reasoning.
I buy my mother any new apple gear she wants because it requires less tech support from me, the apple support has been extremely helpful for her, they are patient and used to dealing with less technical people that need less technical explanations.
Also the I use two different generations of airpod bluetooth earbuds on my windows gaming desktop almost daily so wtf are you talking about?

It's a tech demo/precursor for AR, not the endgame.

That’s anyone who does business in China, though.

You do realize Apple's top priority for 2023 is getting into the ads business?

Avatars are critically important to VR/AR if it's to ever gain mass adoption. Certain styles can very much suck, as Meta has displayed with their Horizon avatars, but getting it right is important.

I would love my own video game like HUD. Also I think AR will have a much wider consumer adoption rate while VR may stay more niche because AR has many more practical uses due to it adding layers to the world around you and not closing you out from it.

Super stumped on who is supposed to buy this thing. People lost their damn mind at the $550 PSVR2 price. This is over 5x that.

Assuming you get to go home sooner and work fewer hours if you work on the plane, I agree.

What do you hope to use it for? How would it benefit you?

Imagine telling a software engineer that he "doesn't know how computers work". That's adorable.

Okay I understand now, I think it boils down to:
"As long as the right software is there"
and your lack of understanding how computers and networks work in general I guess?
Is there a "software" for your phone to control a/my 3D printer? I guess not. Java compiler is a software in itself, as are C/C++ compilers, 3D printer firmware etc. You can technically write it, but that is usually done by either a multi billion company or an open source group of hundreds, thousands of people (I mean you need to use stuff done by others to get your thing running).
Also, how do you hook your phone up to the 3D printer? It won't happen by itself.
You are right in theory, but not in practice I'd say!
Cheers

Yes, I’m aware. But it requires a deliberate extra step on the sort of the user, as I said earlier. So that reduces the visibility and likely the usage.

It's been a good watch and has both helped me get into better shape but has also clued me in to stress levels and the issues they can cause. That definitely has been an early warning system when I'm getting sick.

I don't love the idea of "leisure time on business trips." I want my leisure time to be spent actively doing things I like with my friends and family - not 8 hours of vaguely uncomfortable idleness on an international flight.
From my perspective, every advance in workplace efficiency means less idle time at work - which in turn means less overall time at work, and more opportunity for success. If I am forced to be at work, let me at least be doing something!

I mean their suppliers in China are supporting the uyghur genocide in China. So I wouldn't get on a high horse for them.

No, you’re right. Just wasn’t sure you’re in medicine, so was explaining why I read that the way I did.

The Garmin battery life is soo much longer than the Apple watches.

You can turn on Animojis like a filter during a FaceTime call.

Dude I wasn’t trying to disparage you, but I think it’s pretty clear you were trying to argue I was “technically” right but wrong in some other more important way. You even threw in that you’re a doctor lol so am I

I mean, you’re right. I said you’re right. What do you want, a medal? I was simply explaining to you why I interpreted the headline the way I did.
