I didn’t think I would mind the cameras in-set in the screen, but that’s pretty obnoxious. I think I’d hate it.

It sounds like the expected Fold5 will be more my speed on the outer screen. Similar size, but there’s a small ‘folder’ cutout that avoids impacting the camera.  Read more

You didn’t really spend much time playing with the AR thing did you? Read more

I can’t wait to find out the lengths Apple had to go to in inventing Virtual and Augmented Reality /s Read more

I still don’t feel like there will actually be a headset announcement at WWDC. It’s been 7 years since VR launched in its current form, and there’s more than enough data about the market to indicate that the public interest just isn’t there for a mass market XR device. (And $3000 sure as hell isn’t mass market.) Read more

If Apple came to market with something in the $1-1.5K dollar range alongside a killer app, they’d make a killing. Both AR and full VR are just waiting for that one single niche thing to send both technologies over the tipping point to make it to full mainstream acceptance. Read more

I hereby challenge all conservative patriots to protest woke culture by sleeping through the next election day! Read more

We were so busy wondering about AI, we forgot about KI; Karen Intelligence. Read more

Well review bombing or legit bad reviews? It isn’t all that great. It put it on the low end of the scale on these live action Disney remakes. If were to rate it I’d give it 5 out 10.

The only one I’ve seen was The Jungle Book and it was surprisingly not bad. There’s also a bonkers musical number with Christopher Walken as a giant orangutan. Read more

Whatever company comes up with a Bot detector PaaS service is going to clean up in this space. Read more

The Republicans are losing their minds over anything and everything Disney-related these days because Disney has officially been deemed by them as being “too woke” now and “grooming” children (whatever that means). This movie checks all the Republican-rage checkmarks, especially since Ariel is played by a black person. Read more

Read reviews by movie critics? Movie critics have about the worst possible reviews around, almost on par of just shitty reviews meant for review bombing. It's the whole reason that they've become a meme on the internet lmfao  Read more

There’s no way this movie is good enough to rate a 95%, either. So who’s looking into the verified audience and how they rate? Read more

This is why user ratings are trash. Say what you will about the validity of putting critics’ reviews on a pedestal, but I can at least trust that rotten tomatoes is reporting opinions from people with a modicum of media literacy who have actually experienced the film and not just the brigading of troll or stan Read more

Bet these are the same people that complained about Last of Us 2...for whatever reason. Trolls gonna troll Read more

There is a wealth of African (and Asian, and Middle Eastern, and South American, and even Eastern European) folklore that Disney could plunder to make new movies to appeal to a wider audience.  There’s no need to re-make any of their previous tales. Read more

If you find yourself engaging in this type of behavior.......this is why nobody likes you. Read more
