Well yeah, the 14-day return window is closing soon.
Funny. I like the platform a little more every day.
But I’m sure there were plenty of morons who thought there’d be something magical about it that the first version could never be. It’s awesome. But I was prepared for it to be a huge letdown.
That I didn’t realize the lenses were shipping separately and didn’t have them for the first hour of use, fucking up the eye tracking, really did a great job of disappointing me at first. Once I inserted the lenses, it became excellent. And, as I said, I like it better every day.
They tried a new product that they have never used before, they decided they didn’t like it enough to pay thousands of dollars, so they returned it. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do if you ask me. How are they morons?
Personally I’m typing this comment on an ordinary LCD display that has more pixels (in total) than vision pro has and it’s not even my only display - I have two more next to it. Vision Pro would definitely be a step down when it comes to what I use a computer for all day every day - which is read text.
Sure - for 3D content Vision Pro would be vastly superior, but I almost never work with 3D content. I just want to read (and write) text. Vision Pro clearly isn’t a product for me until it has higher resolution displays and a wider field of view and that’s perfectly fine, I can wait for that day. For other people it’s less clear wether or not it’s a good product for them and I think those people should absolutely try it out to see if it works instead of trying to guess having never used one. And if they don’t like it, return it. That’s what return policies are for.
They never intended to keep them.
100% if Apple didn’t have the easy return policy they would’ve never “borrowed” it in the first place.
Yeah, VR/AR is really amazing and has some pretty cool future applications. I’m glad Apple is investing in that future, too. But I kinda hope they don’t sink it with the potential this has to be a high profile failure because they went for a market segment that’s not going to see the benefits quite yet. Especially at the price point.
Can’t say I’m one of them. Love mine and can’t wait to see how wearable computers evolve from here. Easily one of my favorite tech products in years.
I’m really enjoying mine so far for a few specific use cases, like watching movies while lying down in bed, and as a giant, private display to surf the web and such while on trains and flights. I think it shows a lot of promise but I can’t blame anyone for not finding $4,000 of value in it today. I bet the third or fourth generation is going to kick ass, though.
Oh, I never realized the fans were removed from their Vision Pros in the first place
Deleted my original comment about enjoying my AVP. Deleted all of my comment/post history, will probably delete this one too. Say one thing positive about Apple and lemmy comes in with the downvotes. Like going through my old posts and downvoting them is insane behavior. Go see a therapist because ya need help.
I hate yo face
I hate my face too, you ain’t special
That’s unfortunate but also caring about imaginary points is also kinda lame. Post what you mean and own it. Who cares about votes
Maybe I should add a little context, as honestly it’s much more around the annoyance of having to deal with people that are unhinged online. Dunno what it is about Lemmy specifically, but I’ve definitely encountered more people here per post that will go through my comments/posts to comment and downvote over nonsense than elsewhere.
Like in December, I had the audacity to ask if someone’s post really belonged in the community they posted it in. He proceeded to harass me by downvoting and commenting on my stuff across THREE accounts with no repercussions from admins on either the LW or Reddthat instance their accounts were on. Mods temp-banned him from a few communities it took place in and it calmed down once I blocked the third account and stopped posting for a bit. Then I had a mod on a power trip delete and downvote some of my comments before I got him banned less than a month later over covid misinformation.
It’s one thing if it’s just downvotes on a single comment, but it’s uncomfortable having someone go through my stuff and be that upset at me over nothing. People on Reddit and Twitter have tried to dox me with one dude messaging my old boss on LinkedIn trying to get me fired for discussing why Reddit is severely overcharging compared to industry partners I work with during the API fiasco.
Lemmy needs to make it a lot harder to interact with post/comment history through profiles, as having at least some barrier would help offset the more mildly-unhinged people.
How do you know that happened?
They used the same name on their alt instances. I’m not fucking stupid or going to make a claim without knowing. They were dumb enough to comment using their third alt with a different name on a thread with an admin while posting the same content in the communities they were banned in.
For the account that went through my stuff yesterday, it happened after I posted here and hadn’t posted in days and those threads had no activity. But the negative voted all increased by one on everything I had. Going back a month.
Mod who abused their power was on c/politics and c/world and was removed from the mod team then permabanned after using the group mod account to ban people after their temp ban. I’m the one who called them out to another mod and it got escalated to the admin level.
I don’t doubt you specifically, just seems odd that you’re aware of the exact vote count of every comment you’ve made, to claim that someone mass down voted you by one on each post…
I’m not aware of the exact vote total count and keeping track would be exhausting, but downvotes are rare and are separated from upvotes in my app. So when I see a bunch out of nowhere when there were none before then it’s obvious someone got a little unhinged. Sorry I’m aware of my online presence. Having internet stalkers will do that to you.
Still, it’s internet points and just a random dumbass online. You’re getting worked up about something pretty unimportant.
“Other people’s opinion of you is none of your fuckin business.” Turn vote displays off on your account.
Don’t care about the votes as much as I care about someone being unhinged enough to go through and interact with my entire post history. Dealt with enough weird behavior here.
I’m seeing a lot more hate for Facebook than Apple in one of the cross-posts, but yeah I agree.
Feel that. The hivemind on Lemmy can be brutal (coming from Reddit), since it’s a smaller community.
Yep, it’s really frustrating. I used to be a decent contributor in statistics, analytics, machine learning, and Linux oriented communities on one of my Reddit accounts before deleting it in June. Thought I could find a better home here but I’m not interested in contributing if the culture is so negative to anyone who doesn’t fit the FOSS/Linux crowd. Like seeing mass-downvotes of well-written contributions along with rude/dismissive comments screams “you don’t belong here” to people and will absolutely inhibit Lemmy’s long-term success.
There could be 3 out of 1000 people that make you feel not welcome. Don’t judge a platform because of those 3 people. Maybe it helps to focus on the 4 out of 1000 people that make you feel welcome. And don’t think about the 993 people who really don’t care what you write.
