They’re not trying to solve the next ‘where you can compute’ problem. Smartphones can already be used anywhere. They’re solving the ‘when’ problem and there are lots of times that a phone can’t be used.

Lots of people see the ‘when can I compute’ optimal solution to be anytime. Think of all the places people bring cameras. That’s where they’d love to have a computer. An HMD can do that if it gets small enough

6?

Yeah, I wouldn’t pay for the shit I download.

Keyboard feels great to use but their current layout sucks majorly

And statistical analysis. The larger the universe, the smaller the true random sample you need

The best thing apple ever did was convince you they don’t collect and sell your data like the other tech giants. You think they’re a trillion dollar company by their hardware alone?

Apple is just as shit they just make sure folks don’t realize it

There’s also a feature to disable the biometrics for unlocking in general but to stay active to unlock apps (like bank apps or password managers). I like this because no matter what you can’t unlock my phone without the pin but I still get the convenience of using it for my app security

Samsung phones have this as a feature too. I think it’s under device care

That’s why I prefer roots of pacha. You can make days 2x as long in the settings

Lots of channels getting strikes are showing anbernic and steam decks and the like running the roms featuring Nintendo games being emulated on said device and not just a video capture of the game

You can also set it up so biometrics can be used by apps but not to unlock the phone. That way it’s easy to get to your apps and such but trivially more difficult to unlock.

That only works if you’re rich

It’s one of those things where I didn’t know until I was in my 30s and figured imagining things meant thinking about them and not actually seeing them.

If you don’t know what it’s like you can’t miss something, ya know? But there are experiments that are trying to give visualisations to aphantasia folk. I’m not sure I’d try it because then I would be missing something.

But, big pro: I can see absolute horrific stuff and I’ll never be able to reimagine it. Describe a vile, nasty car wreck? Can’t see it but I know it’s bad. It has weird benefits

Dude, I’m a 5 lol

Most EA and Ubisoft games I’ve played run fine on Deck. Just need to run the game in desktop mode first and then it boots in the Steam UI side of the OS just fine.

Laika shadow drop imminent

Justifying why Apple does it compared to Google doesn’t make it better. That’s like saying, “Well, they didn’t hit me THAT hard so it’s okay. The other guy would hit WAY harder.” Neither is okay

2% of nothing is still nothing 🤷

Apple already invented the phrase/name: Spatial Computing

Very enlightening. Thanks! So there’s still some big hurdle of what would be standardized to make resale of digital goods make sense otherwise it’s impossible to police who does and doesn’t have legit copies or who made a copy of the file, etc.
