Apple was reportedly hoping to sell a million Vision Pro headsets in 2024, but it slashed production to less than 400,000 and is asking some suppliers for enough components to make as few as 130,000.
Good news for those of us who don’t want this future!
Wegen technischer Probleme senkt Apple einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge die Produktionsziele für die neue Datenbrille "Vision Pro": Statt einer Million Geräte sollen es nun weniger als 400.000 sein.

It's nice that #Apple and #Google will face more competition for their #appStore, but if it's gonna be just from other #bigTech companies (#Meta and #Microsoft), it's not gonna help the end users!
Going to switch to Android when I upgrade, but does anyone know if Apple’s passkey feature for iOS17 would make it easier to switch between iOS Nostr clients? (I understand giving my private key to Apple is also bad).
Or do current iOS apps only store the private key client side already?
Apologies if these are dumb questions, but I’m a little hesitant to give each app on iOS my private key. #nostr#apple#asknostr
Marktbericht: Apple wieder über drei Billionen Dollar wert
Nachlassende Inflationsängste geben der Wall Street einen Aufwärtsschub. Apple-Aktien sind an der Börse erneut über drei Billionen Dollar wert. Unterdessen steuert der DAX auf ein starkes Halbjahresplus zu.
The Mac Mini M2 Pro is the best fucking computer I have ever owned. I wish I had forked out a bit more and got a Mac Studio. It would 100% have been worth it. I've been using this thing for a couple of months now and I still can't get over just how fucking good it is.
It doesn't break a sweat when I'm running a typical workload. I can have multiple documents open, multiple browsers with multiple tabs, a couple of VM's running in Parallels, Notes, Outlook, PRTG, Remote Desktop Software, Terminals, Calendar, Discord, Teams, and any other shit I might need to open all running simultaneously and this thing doesn't break a sweat with everything displaying damn-near instantly the second I click on it or need it.
And VM's run like a dream on this thing.
I wouldn't even know I was running Linux or Windows 11 in a VM. It feels like it's running on native hardware.
It's just such a fucking good computer I can't fucking believe it.
There are just a few downsides to it for me:
Cost. It's fucking expensive. Customising you mac with additionial RAM and Storage feels like a rort. (But it would have been worth it even so)
RAM: I wish I had more RAM so I could run more VM's with more RAM simultaneously.
Cores: I wish I had more CPU cores for the same reason I wish I had more RAM. More simultaneous VM's running.
Storage: I wish Apple weren't such pricks about storage and would just give me 8TB for a reasonable price.
I purchased the base model Mac Mini M2 Pro because it was my first foray into Apple shit and macOS. Fuck me, I wish I had known how fucking good it was earlier and I would have forked out double for a Mac Studio with an M2 Max and 64GB RAM. Ideally, I would want around 24+ Cores and 128GB RAM and the Ultra can pull that off... But somewhere deep down I feel uncomfortable about spending that much on a computer. $4000 would really be a sweet spot for me and a dream for something the equivalent of an M2 Ultra Mac Studio with 128GB RAM. I would just use a NAS for my storage needs. I'm excited to see what the future brings and if they release an M3 Max Studio that has 128GB+ of unified memory and a core count approaching 20+ I'll be buying it day one.
Using a computer that actually helps me get work done and achieve the things I want to achieve on my hardware, while being able to do it quick and responsively has been a game-changer for me. I've never had this experience before, where the computer I'm using is actually behaving in a way that makes it a tool that's not just "able to get the job done", but is able to get the job done well without wasting my time and energy while I wait for things to open, or load, or process, or parse... It's night and day.
Did you know that on St Peter’s Day (29 June) in Herefordshire it was believed that rain needed to fall on the orchards to ensure a bountiful apple harvest?
A few days ago I was complaining about my front camera getting a purple vignette around the edges. I just checked again now and it looks like this 😭 my front camera is well and properly screwed, and I’m not sure if something caused it or it’s just… died.
Silver lining? I guess it matches my latest website design I’m working on. 🧐
The #google, #apple, #proton business model of having multiple services under one account, is fundamentally no different than using one password for all your online services.
If that one account password gets hacked and leaked, ( or you get phished for #2fa ) you stand to lose your cloud storage, email, VPN, password manager, photos, messages... etc. That's a lot of data to be protected by only one password.
