Q4 2024 was before all the overt nazi shit.
But I agree that calling it dead is premature.
realharo@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What hyped thing did you fall for that you now regret and have to live with?7·3 months agoThe killer VR app for me is golf games. GOLF+ and Walkabout Minigolf. It’s a great way for me to keep in touch with my parents who live in a different city. It’s like a better version of a phone/video call every once in a while (and at $350 with the better headstrap, it’s not too expensive for a present)
Ironically this is where the Quest absolutely destroys the Vision Pro, which doesn’t have any VR golf (or even minigolf) games as far as I can tell.
VR headsets are basically multiplayer golf simulators to me. Which makes the Vision Pro a golf simulator that doesn’t have golf.
realharo@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What hyped thing did you fall for that you now regret and have to live with?7·3 months agoWith foam mattresses, you need to look at the density of the high-resilience foam (HR foam) that they use. Generally the higher it is, the firmer the mattress will be and less prone to sagging.
It also means it will be a lot heavier and difficult to move around. If the density info is not provided, you can just look for ones they claim are for people who are heavier than your own weight.

Of course how you use it is a matter of politics.

realharo@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speedsEnglish5·3 months agoLatency is much more critical than bandwidth for any sort of real-time VR.
realharo@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Tech Execs Plead for Great Firewall of America to Protect Them Against Scary Chinese AI14·4 months agoThe title is misleading, to the point of being an outright lie. The quote they put under the heading quotes politicians, not “tech execs”. The only quote from a tech exec in the article (Anthropic CEO) is talking about export controls for chips, which is very different from a “great firewall” that the title claims.
A “great firewall” would mean blocking Chinese AI products from being accessible in the US, not blocking exports of US products into China. The article only quotes politicians asking for that, despite what they put in the title.
EDIT: and for context, ChatGPT is blocked in China, while DeepSeek is allowed in the US, to the point of being the top trending App Store app.

realharo@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’English6·4 months agoI feel like this could be (opinion) the reason why Devin is trying to charge $500/mo for their tool. They know they only have a limited time window until a general-purpose agent from OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/… can directly do everything their product does. So they have to make their money while that gap in capabilities still exists.
realharo@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have kids? Do you want to have kids? Did you regret having / not having kids?9·4 months agoNo kids, no regrets, at 34. Life is already stressful enough with instability around housing and long-term career prospects (what with AI affecting jobs and such). With kids in the picture, I feel like that anxiety would just be ten times worse.
realharo@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Xiaohongshu [RedNote] Scrambles to Hire English-Speaking Content ModeratorsEnglish5·4 months agoI remember reading articles about massive Threads’ user surge, back when Twitter shat the bed after the acquisition. How has that turned out in the long run?

This may be a stereotype, but TikTok specifically caters to people with short attention spans.
realharo@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple might be working on a smart doorbell | TechCrunchEnglish5·5 months agoIt’s also misleading. Pretty much all zigbee devices work locally just by the nature of the protocol, so any company that makes those automatically has that feature.

You can even turn it on/off with one tap.

Russia makes threats with nukes, because a country they attacked dares to defend itself
lemmy.ml: Why would the US do this?
The notion that Russia doesn’t need to invade or make nuclear threats is completely unthinkable around these parts.
If you just analyze the 1000 most recent posts on the local worldnews, it’s pretty openly a propaganda channel.

realharo@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom LocationEnglish2·7 months agoIt’s a desktop, so you will obviously need an external monitor. Most of the new monitors these days also work as USB hubs - you just run a USB C cable from the computer to the monitor and you get both display and additional ports.
10 months is not enough to reliably starve them out, not even in sealed storage. There is still some risk.
