I really want to play GTA6 when it comes out, but I know I’ll have at least ten years to do so based on their current release cycle.

Touchscreens on desktop and notebook computers help increase software parity with AR/VR operating systems. (reach out, press/grab/swipe, etc.)

Getting face recognition working well on a foldable device seems like a real engineering challenge. It has to work on BOTH the inner and outer display surfaces… ideally AS you're unfolding/rotating the device without delay. Way different than on a "slab phone" with one surface.

I'm wondering how reliable AI is nowadays for businesses operating atop it. For engineers who are experts, they're able to apply enough guardrails to get reasonable results. — But, what about for non-experts or totally automated processes? You still need to be able to judge it.

I genuinely like the iPhone Duo, but this first generation one seems like a tougher sell for folks who are used to more polished devices/models. (I'm excited for what's to come)

For me, the iPhone Duo this round (like the Vision Pro) is a “try” not a “buy” … I used a BlackBerry until the iPhone 4 came out (when they nailed it 👍🏻)

Before there was the MZ-RH1 (tiny, ultimate, futuristic high-end MiniDisc player) 💽 … there was the Toshiba KT-AS10 dubbed "Mr. Small" that didn't even fit the entire cassette itself! walkman.land/toshiba/kt-as10 Very cool, had a tiny AM/FM "tape" as well. Love Japanese gadgets 🎌

I find it consistently more difficult to find good restaurants because so many reviews on Google Maps are skewed/meaningless. If you run a bar/restaurant, you can just give away free drinks to get 5 star reviews. It’s the same issue on the App Store, 5-stars is default to many

New Siri looks promising. Can’t wait to uninstall some of my other AI tools.

this will be an awesome archiving of today's Tokyo, which will likely be very different from tomorrow 🗼 (alongside Persona 5)
Forza Horizon 6's Tokyo is "five times larger" than anything that the development team has designed before. #XboxDeveloperDirect

weren't the cool icons a reason to switch to Mac?
