In this particular story, if there’s any truth to it then it’s basically extortion. They could have just said that due to their usage profile they will need to switch to an enterprise license for the next billing period . Instead they tried to extort it within 24h lol.
And of course you have to buy a whole year of service (lol). This last thing is a symptom of a degenerate market with few competitors. No company that fears competition would try to pull that stunt.
I like Nebula but it’s not comparable to YouTube and isnt supposed to be .
VR has been around in modern form for more than a decade and the only truly novel and useful application is some types of gameplay.
There are a few other legitimate applications. Architects can offer people a 1st person view of a designed building. There are already companies that let people do VR walkthrough of homes they’re considering buying rather than in person open houses (I think this started in the pandemic).
These things have value but they’re niche applications that can be done with any VR headset.
Has anyone identified the “killer app” yet?
I still don’t see it. I watched a lot of review vids just because it was interesting but I don’t see a single thing that the Vision Pro can do that can’t be done better with other devices.
The tech and computation required for those avatar things is amazing . It might get much better soon. But even if it does, will it be better than simple FaceTime type video conferences?
It’s not clear to me how apple even imagines people using the thing.
As a non-surgeon I think doing a heart transplant without bypass shouldn’t be that hard if you’re fast enough. I mean you can cut arteries quickly with bolt cutters right?
“Star Trek Syphilis” it is then .
This is just a less gross version of “DAE store their piss in jars so they can commemorate their unitary secretions”?
Did OP even agree to their terms?
Season 2 was arguably worse.
I forgot that detail lol. Let’s take energy weapon technology that can shoot in a perfectly straight line…and artificially limit its range and utility.
All I got from this is that the Galaxy is thiccc af with more C’s than i can use within the bounds of civilized discourse.
If that phase cloak thing was attached to photon torpedoes it would make them invincible as well since they could phase back beyond enemy shields. Or inside the enemy ship.
If you’re incapable of understanding the backdrop of basically all of the franchise, then yeah I guess not.
How is this sub the best on Lemmy lol
I would argue that despite the great DS9 episodes and stories, B5 had better stories overall. That being said most of DS9’s CGI aged pretty well. B5’s CGI…not so much. Not even the remastered version.
Plus it’s harder to pass the buck and blame an AI for your screw ups. It would be perceived, as the kids say, as a skills issue.
