We're in the one where Biff takes the Almanac back to the past.

I have a UFO Civic and, out of all the cars I've been in, it has hands down the best dashboard. Everything is tactile and arranged in a way that I don't have to look away from the road to adjust anything.

Beyond tactile vs. touchscreen, I wish more manufacturers payed attention to ergonomics so I wouldn't have to reach into my ass to find the AC or the defogging button.

We have 3 Stratasys printers at work and yeah, you're absolutely correct.

To add, their 'professional' slicer program "Insight" is the most user hostile piece of software I've ever laid my eyes on. Straight out of 1992 levels of awful. The workflow, the UI (if you can call it that), everything.

The other 'user friendly' slicer is "GrabCAD Print", an Apple style piece of garbage. It lacks everything beyond basic functionality, yet lately they've been pumping it full of subscription locked features.

Honestly, fuck this company.

Cool story, but that site. Holy shit.

The absolute state of webdesign in 2024.

I lived in both. Maybe I have more of an insight than you...

That's irrelevant here because what they're describing is happening in every market, not just their niche.

There's nothing reasonable about these assumptions.

There's no way the VisionPro gets even close to 100W. Why? Because heat dissipation. The vast majority of power drawn by semiconductors is dissipated as heat and, in a device that's strapped to someone's face, there's simply no way to dissipate hundreds of watts.

Also, knowing the battery pack size and battery life, it's easy to guesstimate the power consumption.

“The Apple Vision Pro provides approximately 2 hours of battery life. Based on its size, the internal battery capacity is estimated to be within 20,000mAh (74Wh), resulting in an overall power consumption of around 30W.”

Even if we assume the double of that 30W, it's well within USB-C standards.

Same. On my tablet I use Brave because it has a tab bar, but I'd rather use FF.
