Quit printing these bald faced lies told by startup company marketers.

This just proves how much they need the billionaire tax.

This blows up the business model of the eye surgeon using the Vision Pro for surgeries, reported on Slashdot earlier today.

There is no labor shortage and these robots suck at that job.

This is a PR stunt.

I've only ever seen cartoons and games with the audio way too loud. No edu-anything.

I can appreciate the advantage of the information overlay. But I feel that the goggles would be a greater hindrance to direct viewing and the cutting and placement.

The ability for others to "join" and view and learn does not require goggles. They could already do that with a standard screen.

I'm not sure how much I trust this one. The patient was extremely brave, or stupid, to trust their vision to this. I certainly would not.

Why does anyone buy their products? Sony went form perhaps the most admired name in electronics to a fermenting cesspit of garbage and over priced electronics, as well as a predatory and usurious media company. I don't know why anyone buys anything from them today.

Paywalling that intrusive privacy invading crap is great news.

Buh bye Copilot. Happy to see you go. Thanks Microslop.

I'm sick of the talk and sick of the arguments. I think that this is a great thing for California to do and settle the arguments.

I don't live in California so I won't be taxed. Nor will I care if they crash and burn.

We'll see what happens when such a tax is implemented. If it works then all the other states can follow suit. If they crash and burn, then everyone can shake their head and boast about how they knew that would happen and they told you so.

Do it! Full send.

You're not the first in this thread to tell me that I my thinking is wrong because you think a non-existent law should be.

I'm simply working within the framework of what's available to me. Without an existing law, then I depend on the credit card for its buyer protection feature.

I don't get to make the laws. If I did get to make the laws, you might not love it.

No, Zelle falls short when compared to UPI.

Zelle sends a notification of a pending transaction, not a confirmation of the transfer.

Zelle transactions can be delayed, sometimes hours. I've even read of days. UPI is INSTANT. INSTANT.

Zelle use usually requires the use of your bank's phone app and has varying individual bank enacted restrictions on accounts, amounts, commercial versus personal... UPI is app independent and works the same commercial or personal. If the bank participates in the UPI network(seems almost all do) then transactions all just work the same for all.

Zelle eliminates cash or cheque and speeds transactions. It is the best we've got, so far. But, it's still got an annoying amount of friction. UPI is almost completely frictionless and it's now ubiquitous.

Apple Pay will never incorporate Zelle. Remember the banks restrict Zelle use to their app. There's that friction again. Meanwhile Apple Pay is due to start in Indian soon and it will include UPI support on day one.

I've recently been looking into India's digital payment system, Unified Payment Interface(UPI). It seems so good in so many ways. Direct INSTANT payments, person to person or merchant. Free! It really seems like the best system I've seen so far.

But, when I look at implementing such a system in America, I start to realize that credit cards offer features that India's system lacks. Buyer protection is one such feature. I can easily roll back a credit charge. It's vastly superior to direct bank debits.

Sure, the credit card system has caused price inflation as the ~3% that merchants have to pay is built into the price of goods. But that money is never coming back to the consumer. Even if the 3% is eliminated, the merchants will still charge the same and enjoy higher margins.

I guess that an instant digital system, like India's, is still vastly better than our present system of slow-ass cheques, debit cards, and ACH transfers. There's no reason why we can't have both a digital cash system and credit cards.

I'm hoping that Elon's system gives us the best of both worlds. But, I fully expect greedy fucks to turn it into just another consumer fleecing piece of shit.

For $58,000 they can kiss my ass.

No one could possibly have seen that coming.

Good news though, the government has more personal data for future privacy invasion. So it's not a total loss.

Let's face it. There are very few people buying Framework Laptops. The Framework Laptop is a "weird" niche product appealing to an even weirder niche demographic. That the weirdos choose Linux is a surprise to no one.

Meanwhile, when Dell puts Ubuntu on its laptops Linux sales are abysmal.
