My friend’s dad had one with a remote that when you changed the volume on the remote the volume knob would move. I thought it was so cool

It’s a number of reasons. One I don’t see already mentioned is that Apple and Google require apps to target the latest versions of their OSs and libraries. For example Google released a new version of the Google Play Billing Services library. All apps were required to update to the newest version by mid August (you could request a two month extension). So to the end user it seems like nothing has changed. But under the hood the app is now using the latest apis. This could also apply to non-Google/Apple apis. Maybe a change of the developers own api was necessary.

Works great here with almost 100% coverage

Because there are two types of mac users:

• People that are buying them with their own money because they’re trendy and just using them as glorified Internet browsers. 16gb is plenty.
• People using them professionally so their company is paying and Apple can over charge for the necessary memory upgrade

I agree with you about macos design. I’m not a fan of it either. It’s garish with over the top animations. The window manager is dreadful. Track pad gestures are great though as is spotlight search.

It kind of has to be mac. How else are you gonna test on safari?

Really? My S22u is super stable. I don’t think it’s ever crashed. The current up time is 377 hours. But that’s only because of the 6.1 update a few weeks ago.

Yeah, that’s fair. Push notifications by definition come via the internet. Push and local notifications are indistinguishable to the user

Not all. Local notifications are thing. Most do go through soming like FCM though

I don’t think so. For example with true AR you could look at something like a bus and have it tell you information like the schedule, route, if it’s running on time etc. This is done automatically and without user interaction. What the Vison Pro does is give you floating apps you can interact with

I believe AR overlays information about the real world where as mixed reality just shows you the real world with a few apps floating about
