Smart TVs are stupid and only exist to make ad revenue and sell user data. I'd pay extra for a TV like an LG C2 OLED but with no OS. Just a monitor that displays sources plugged in.

Sports video games peaked in the mid 2000s and are all garbage cash grabs now. They only make money because they have no competition (Madden is the only NFL game, 2K is the only NBA game, The Show is the only MLB game, etc).

I've never met someone who prefers touchscreen climate controls in a car tbh. Everyone I know agrees that it's stupid and unsafe

I paid $3000 to build my pc, to be an early adopter of what seems to be groundbreaking tech, sure. Gotta start saving now though lol.

Also, the first iPhone is $40k today unopened. Maybe if you buy Apple's first VR headset and never open it, 10 years later it'll be worth a ton?

Using Zorin OS right now and it might be my favorite Linux distro ever. It's like a stock, good version of Windows 10 or 11 (it's obviously not Windows but that's just an easy comparison visually speaking). For the longest time I couldn't get myself to fully switch to Linux due to needing to use video editing software for my job, but installing DaVinci Resolve Studio on Zorin was a breeze, and they even have an easy to follow guide for doing so.

I feel like there needs to be a pinned guide at the top of this instance explaining all of this stuff to new users.

I don't understand the reddit users who are claiming they don't want to join Lemmy over political reasons. They could create their own instance with whatever rules they want and push whatever political agenda they want. The fact that the platform is decentralized means everyone can get with they want.

Technically 2024 but the Apple Vision Pro headset is blowing my mind

I don't think it's possible due to it being decentralized. If anything goes wrong start your own instance. That's what I think a lot of the new users don't realize. This isn't a reddit clone, it's something with much greater potential

I want to see Reddit fail tbh. It was great at one point, but it won't be great again. It's time for the platform to shoot itself in the foot to allow better platforms such as Lemmy to grow.

If the iOS Firefox is like the Android version with addon support after this, I'd be extremely satisfied.
