i mean as a core feature of a watch/smartwatch in general. garmin is going above and beyond compared to the competition in that area, and that’s great. But that doesn’t mean every other smartwatch manufacturer arbitrarily locking traditional watch features behind paywalls.

and yeah apple does fitness themed commercials for apple watch because it does help with fitness a ton out of the box. just not specifically guided workouts.

that’s more like an added perk from garmin. I’d hardly consider workout plans a core feature of a watch.

yes and i don’t think it’s limited to politics either.

which should have been expected. after 10 years the market is saturated, and it’s a mature product that has had no killer feature to upgrade early for.

I personally like it on a dedicated Pi simplly because I don’t want DNS to die if i’m doing other server maintenance. the Pi is pretty much set it and forget it.

But i guerss you might as well try it on your server first and you can always buy a Pi if you find it to be too much of a pain.

honestly don’t find it necessary. raspberry OS basically never needs to be rebooted and if you really need planned maintenance you can just use a normal DNS server til you’re done.

all of the guild questlines in oblivion are so fun, particularly the stealthy ones Dark Brotherhood and Thieves.

apple has implemented junk AI (image playground, useless notification summaries, etc) while delaying the one thing (imo) AI could actually help them with - integration with siri.

that doesn’t mean we should exacerbate the issue with AI.

why wouldn’t that be the case, all the most persuasive humans are liars too. fantasy sells better than the truth.

The Outer Worlds is a perfect example of this in the best way possible.

I think the programming would prevent as much harm as possible.

well, yeah… why wouldn’t you want a human to do the same thing??? you’re watching too many fast and furious movies.

Firstly, no one in an 18 wheeler loaded with cargo is “navigating away” from anyone desperate enough to attempt such a scheme. This entire idea is ludicrous, think about how slow and massive those trucks are.

Secondly, you don’t want an 18 wheeler loaded with cargo being driven aggressively. You’re just escalating the risk of killing yourself and everyone around you, for what, a truckload of insured corporate assets?

and phones make you use your unlock pin often, so people are forced to remember it. on the other hand windows lets you use a short pin instead of your full account password pretty much forever which results in people forgetting the password completely.

you never did entertain a conversation, you’re just insulting anyone who disagrees with you. when you are actually challenged on your bullshit you bail.

lol how hypocritical. you say I am stuck in an echo chamber, but when i ask for you to help me understand your differing opinion you don’t even answer the questions. Just deploy your ad hominem and call it a day.

how does race or gender have anything to do with this?

what makes you think most people wouldn’t be ok with wearing tech on their face?

maybe you are the one forgetting that cameras and microphones are already in all the products that most people already have. how is AR any different?

firstly, just because you say so doesn’t mean there is ZERO market for it.

secondly, of course there isn’t significant demand for it yet it’s a completely new technology and the use case is still being explored. people can’t demand what doesn’t exist.

Thirdly, show me exactly where companies are “coercing” us to create demand for AR. of course i realize there are extreme marketing campaigns that try unecessarily hard to push products like AI, but that is obviously not happening with AR.

Just stop mindlessly accepting and defending this behavior and stand up for yourself as a consumer.

finally, if you seriously can’t comprehend any way at all that AR could be helpful then you are just as mindless as you are accusing me of being. stop being an arrogant asshole and consider that people can disagree with you without being “mindless”.

I’m not even a huge proponent of AR glasses, but i think that’s a pretty shortsighted view. AR/VR tech was still in its infancy when google decided to drop it (as they do with many beloved products btw), and Apple has a history of repackaging/refining products in a way that allows them to catch on. Apple Vision is by all accounts a cool product, just still way too expensive for mainstream use. The tech is still maturing. I’m not saying Apple will for sure succeed, but it’s just silly to outright claim “there is no market for this”.

also “forced onto consumers”? no one is being forced to buy anything, what a ridiculous take.

it’s not that complicated, the goal is to create another hit product that everyone wants like the ipod and iphone.
