Cyber attack on Lurie Children's Hospital

Time to reverse hack these fucking scum bags. -
I'm down and my wife will probably be down too. Bioshock Infinite is one of her favorite games. It's not only one of the few games she's played start to finish, but replayed many times.

I tried a hololens back in like 2015 or something and though it was very primitive, it did make me very excited for AR.

Pricing in the VR/AR market is fairly complicated right now. The range is enormous. But certainly the AVP is a hell of a lot more expensive than a quest. Interestingly, it's still substantially cheaper than what an original Mac cost if you adjust to today's dollars (about half the price). But yes, the price will be hard for mass market and I don't think Apple intends to capture that on this round.

I was instantly sold on the iPhone too, but many of the various forums were filled with nay-sayers who didn't get it. It was exhausting. But I do think you're right that this still won't quite be there for mass appeal in terms of form factor whereas the form factor for the iPhone was fine (we're still using light rounded rectangles!). Getting people to put something on their face is a hard sell in comparison, and it's still too heavy and thick -- or at least I suspect it is -- even if they do slam dunk the interface. But I do think they have a chance at showing us what the future will be. Or, they fuck it up If not, I will probably get one sometime this year.

I actually think this looks a lot like the iPhone launch. The iPhone wasn't the most incredible technological advance on paper. At the time of its announcement, there were hordes of people pointing out how it wasn't that much better, how the keyboard of the blackberry was really important, that touch screens have been around for a while etc. What the iPhone did is the thing that's hard for people used to looking at tech papers to quickly grasp. They implement a *vastly* better interface for tech that had been floating around for quite some time. That's exactly what Apple Vision Pro is pushing. Its hardware is nice, but that's not really the important thing nor the thing they're highlighting. They're highlighting the interface and how the hardware is selected to serve it. Now, it's entirely possible that Apple won't succeed this time. We're all really just going to have to play with it more. And the high price may limit its impact (though the iPhone was also considered too high priced when it released). But the strategy here looks very similar to me and I think it's too early to tell.

Completely agree! And I also can't bring myself to do evil playthroughs in a game a like this. Especially since the evil path is *so* damn evil. I couldn't stomach it. It's plausible the most evil I've been is ME with the occasional renegade trigger for some of the especially annoying baddies who had it coming
