You're mixing AR and VR all the time. VR has a lot of entertainment potential that will be realized once the tech gets better and cheaper, probably fairly soon. For AR to be useful for normal users it will have to replace phones, not PCs. I can see people using it on the subway to browse isntagram or while walking for navigation and answering calls. For this it will have to become super small and light, just like normal glasses. Vision pro is 600g + battery pack. We're decades away from something that will be able to compete with phones.

Ok, I see how you could get confused and think we're talking about some non-existing, future product instead of the device this post is actually about. No problem, this happens.

When it comes to AR in general Magic Leap was pushing it hard for a very long time and after they released actual device their value quickly dropped. AR for general public is a gimmick, it doesn't solve any problems, no one wants it. It has very interesting applications in some very specific fields and definitely will find it uses with professionals but when it comes to your dream of looking at 15 4k screens while sitting on a toilet most people are happy with just their phones.

Unfortunately big issue is that 'tough on crime' resonates very well with the general public. 65% of Americans still believe death penalty is morally justified. There's no hope for any reform if most people don't want one.

Sure as long as 'all the virtual monitors you might ever want' is exactly one monitor. You do know that Vision Pro can only simulate one display when working with a Mac? We're talking about specific device not some imaginary thing Apple will release 10 years from now. Jesus, Mac fanboys are just the worst...

For anyone interested what happened (according to some anonymous whistle-blower):

They had to remove the door plug to replace damaged pressure seal but didn't want to run QA on the plug after installing it back so they didn't mark it as 'removed' in the tracking system, they simply treated it as door that were "opened". Parts were missed when inserting the plug, QA didn't check because it wasn't in the system, plane was delivered to the client. The rest is history.

There' s a lot of backstory to it but that's the direct cause. Supposedly.

Try Raphael (classic) and Pablo Alboran. Both have easy to understand lyrics and it's mostly pleasant pop.

For something more artsy try El Kanka. Great lyrics, more poetic with lots of word play but generally also easy to understand.

On the other hand I have no idea what Extremoduro songs are about.

Now "correrse" is a different story..

As Sci-Fi? Clearly Star Trek. It's actual Sci-Fi when Star Wars is just fantasy in space. As franchises both have better and worse movies/shows and can't be compared objectively.

I live in Spain and I remember seeing a story in the local newspaper about a guy complaining that he was released from prison before he could finish some professional course he was doing (he got ~2 year sentence). He said that outside of prison he can't afford this type of education he was getting there for free. Just imagine, prison was actually offering him a way to a better job and life later. And that's not even the famous Norway, just normal Spain. This is how it should work. Locking up people just so they suffer for a bit is sick and pointless.

There's a great show on Netflix called '60 days in'. It's silly and exploitative on the surface but read between the lines and you will learn a lot about the justice system in US. It's basically designed to dehumanize and torture people with no presumption of innocence or any safeguards. The only goal is to punish as many people as possible. That's what the society expects from it and people that run it are happy to deliver.

Yay. Just don't watch it if you don't like it.
