As someone who's been using apple devices for a long time, this pretty much summarizes one of my biggest concerns with the APV. The other being expensive, proprietary, and software-locked lens inserts. (Basically creating a proprietary tax for people with poor vision who want to be involved with spacial computing, antithetical to Apple's accessibility efforts.)

I actually have a 3D Blue ray of The Force Awakens, but I'm not even sure if I would be able to watch that on an APV even if I could afford one. Is your library all digital?

I'll give it less than a week until someone puts an app meant for something else on the App Store that actually just solves this problem for everyone. Then less than 6 months before they make it subscription only.

Can I just get a cheaper option that has no software whatsoever?

haha it's funny to imagine needing to use a Star Trek app to watch porn.

The Archive

Is that just an AVP app or an actual resource on the web some of us should be aware of?

Japanese people love their handhelds. I suspect it had a bigger impact than others think.

I honestly wonder if the advertising industry is just a house of cards, with everyone so far up their own asses that they couldn’t possibly realize how much energy, resources, and dignity is just getting wasted.

I can’t help but feel sorry for whoever thought their “targeted advertising” worked when I just accidentally picked up my tablet and clumsily landed a finger on a banner, or let an entire video ad play because I was preoccupied and not physically able to skip it. The only ads I genuinely pay attention to are the promotional newsletters I actually sign up for out of legitimate interest from those sites, not out of pride or anything, it’s just the only instance where actually find myself interested in what’s being advertised. Everything else out there in the “targeted” web is just white noise to me, and people think it’s a gold mine.

I’m sure Masimo will offer a watch with a blood oxygen measurement tool built in. You can just buy that one.
