That all gets better due to having far more users. You can’t just say “let’s ignore adoption rate” - that’s a pretty huge deal. It’s by far and away the main thing that holds them back.
And again, they were fine with SMS, which is far far worse.

Some level of privacy, yes. Solely in WhatsApp-signal chats. And users can be notified of that, like they were with SMS.
But you know what the alternative is? Nobody using signal. And that’s objectively worse.
Cross-compatibility with WhatsApp would mean way more people on signal, and way more people willing to try, meaning more signal-signal chats.
Signal-SMS is FAR less private, but they were fine with that for years.
I’m a signal donor and while I disagree with your point regarding UI (have you used in the past couple of years? It’s went from feeling dated to feeling pretty modern), I agree with the rest.
Even worse, though, is that the EU offered them the opportunity to become relevant on a silver platter, by forcing WhatsApp to open up their app and be cross-platform with others who want to. Signal said no thanks.
I get it, WhatsApp stores metadata, and Signal doesn’t like that. But they were fine with (way way worse) SMS for a while? The day Signal chose that path was the day Signal willingly chose to be irrelevant for the vast vast vast majority of people.
I love this app but the way the project is managed baffles me sometimes.
“Jeff, why the living fuck have you tried to claim 5 femboy OnlyFans premium-tier subscriptions on your work expenses account?!”
sweating “uhhh… to… ummm… make sure it wasn’t CSAM…?”
“Oh! Nice work Jeff. Very proactive. For a second I thought something dodgy might have been going on.”
The absolute sass lol
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Fine. Fuck y’all.")?
Tankie is a term that stems from the UK Communist Party (fringe political party) mocking/distancing themselves from some of its more extreme members that defended the USSR sending tanks in to quell civilian protests in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. And later, to mock those who defended Mao’s crackdowns.
Since then, the term has evolved to mean any westerner who proclaims to be left but defends the imperialist actions and human rights abuses of Russia (despite them not even being remotely left wing anymore!) To a lesser degree it’s also applied to China.
In short: a westerner who rails about how horrible and imperialist the west is, but falls silent or defends it when Russia or China do the same or worse.
What an odd thing to double down on, I know plenty of women that use computers (literally all of them I’ve ever met).
Thinking women using computers is “political” is batshit insane.
E: I didn’t realise that women existing was such a controversial take lol
I can see this being interesting for about 4 minutes until the novelty wears off.
I don’t get why proprietary apps love having this feature creep where more and more stuff gets bolted on, usually just making the app unnecessarily bloated, buggy, unintuitive, etc.
Not saying otherwise. I’m saying IR cameras are probably an excuse to bump up the price.
Lmao you’re honestly telling me that this is an announcement of a gaming headset? HAHAHA
Bloons TD 6. Cut the Rope. Fruit Ninja. NBA 2K24 ARCADE EDITION.
All of this mentioned way below stuff like watching TV.
Yeah mate, totally. A headset for gamers HAHAHAHA.
Do yourself a favour and just take the L. They were never developing a gaming headset. By your metric of a gaming headset, Apple also designed the iPhone as a “gaming phone”, the iPad as a “gaming tablet”, and shit, even the Apple watch as a “gaming watch”.
When people say VR gaming, they generally don’t mean games on the tier of angry birds or doodle jump. They mean actual PC VR games.
Normal Apple Vision headsets will be cheaper and lower-specced than their Apple Vision Pro headset. More at 11.
What are you talking about? They never said they were making a gaming-focused headset. We were talking about the Vision Pro and you said Apple abandoned it.
Yes you did. If you can’t remember your own words, you can literally just scroll up.
I doubt it’s for their fun headset since they’ve already abandoned it.
It absolutely does. I’m not sure why you’re trying to spread misinformation, but Apple clearly hasn’t dropped VR or the Vision Pro, and your own source proves it.
Let me guess. Add infrared cameras onto the Airpods, costing them very little extra, and using it as justification for an £80 price rise.
This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.
In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.
Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.
No, you’re the one lying, and I provided evidence.
ROFLCOPTER
Cringe.
You’re the one that’s lying.
I literally proved you a liar for both of your points lmao
Yup. Literally just add “To” before the “blame” and it suddenly becomes a lot more parsable.
Good video though.
