Betcha the docs suck and you can make them better.

Quest is better in every way

Zuckerberg can’t even buy an SOC to put in the quest to compete with Apple. Qualcomm doesn’t make one. So it can’t be better in every way.

It can be better subjectively to some people. But objectively the Vision Pro has specs other manufacturers literally won’t be able to do for at least 2-3 years, and not for 500 bucks.

Microsoft barely made a PC interface, they’re the last ones i would expect make a proper AR interface.

I don’t see an actual source for this claim. There’s no leak or press release or documentation or extracted resources from an IOS build.

The “source” article is just making unsubstantiated claims.

Take a look at Taiwan's inventory of anti-ship missiles and coastal defenses and get back to me. Last I checked Taiwan has roughly 1 harpoon for every Chinese combat ship, assuming China wants to commit their entire navy to the invasion.

If China doesn't commit every ship to the invasion, now you have more than 1 harpoon per Chinese ship.

Nevermind other types of anti-ship defenses and domestically produced missiles.

And again, Taiwan has had these weapons for DECADES. They train on them, then know how to deploy them. It will not take days to respond, because they are ready. They will simply launch and the missiles will sink some ships.

If China decides to invade it will be at the cost of a significant portion of their navy and army before they even reach land. Then China has to face significant risk of retaliation from Taiwan's cruise missile fleet, some of which can hit as far as Beijing.

Then at this point China will risk their various border disputes being contested.

And all this for what? Some destroyed chip factories and the CCP flag over Taipei?

China can certainly invade Taiwan, but my point is the cost is too high for it to be a logical move.

If they did that the headline may not contain Apple in it, instead they would list the actual perpetrators, and that would mean less ad revenue.

China invading Taiwan is a fantasy for the foreseeable future.

We have seen what hastily deployed US weapons can do against Russian hardware in the Ukrainian invasion.

Taiwan has been stockpiling US weapons(missiles, jets, tanks) for decades, and Chinese hardware and doctrine is not as proven as the Russians. China will see immense losses for their prize, and that’s if nobody intervenes.

The NACS pivot is going to keep them relevant longer than I’d like. The gap between the supercharger network and everyone else is astounding and nobody is going to close that gap any time soon.

Making comments like this is a huge self-own. There are MacBook users whose software powers a good portion of your daily life.
