And SCOTUS did so by introducing a rule it never explained and which has no support in prior law (they're only supposed to rule on ambiguity in law, not to create new rules, that's up to congress instead)

Not everybody, and not infinitely far back. There was definitely a period where there were no free texts included (although I do think that by the iPhone introduction many did have it, but still not all!)

At best this may help scaling up production of the necessary components (in particular the displays)

It should be marketed as a dev kit, but they're marketing it for consumers

It feels very much like most stuff that's likely to be developed for it will have the feel of "museum exhibit at home" or AR-ified iOS app.

The inability to use any controller is going to lose them a lot of latency and precision sensitive usecases. It is very Apple to make it totally standalone, but it's going to cost them a fair bit.

A lot of real time remote control usecases will be impossible for latency issues alone, it won't be a good solution in most multiuser environments (both due to no relative tracking, but also cost and hygiene issues for shared devices), it won't be great for bringing into public spaces (poor long range tracking, etc) or small spaces (limits gestures), hand tracking camera position means you have to hold your hands up and mostly open (accessibility issues), etc.

Even if the hardware can do more, Apple won't give developers access to more.

Some people have hourly electric pricing, in their case it's worth scheduling stuff based on predicted pricing. How that should work is that you'd have a home server which controls your IoT stuff (so the gadgets themselves can be firewalled from the internet and controlled only by you) and then your server would fetch pricing data and pause stuff that doesn't need to run when prices are high and run stuff like washing when it's cheap

Humans will need to use digital signatures eventually. Chains of verifiable claims from real humans would be used. Still doesn't prove anything by itself, but it saves a ton of effort. That, plus verifiable timestamping.

Provenance. Track the origin.

A deb file will "run" in the package manager process space, it doesn't need to be executable on its own
