If it is $3000 is it aimed at a consumer market?
Majikman
16:21:24
£549 for a pair of headphones
serenak
16:22:06
also as Jeff says who says it isn’t a full rig with a VR specific mac and hand tracking or eye tracking
Majikman
16:22:52
the article says the Microshaft HoloLens is $3500
serenak
16:23:22
and isn’t aiimed at consumers
serenak
16:24:27
although Occulus have dropped Mac support I believe
Majikman
16:25:25
Would the headset be able to adjust to your eye perscription?
JeffG
16:25:36
I would hope so!
Majikman
16:26:59
I do find wearing a VR headset very disconcerting.
Majikman
16:27:58
Get your defence in early, won’t be so bad when we see it.
Majikman
16:29:10
think back to the shock over £150 for AirPods
serenak
16:35:48
and the watch has to be on 7.4 btw
Majikman
16:40:04
The latest reports seem to show that flu and even the common cold are down by 80% or more.
serenak
16:41:48
I have seen that too -
serenak
16:42:11
no real surprise as most of us are masking nd distancing
Majikman
16:42:35
were also a lot more hygenic
serenak
16:46:16
I think if they do have Face and Touch ID it will be likely they have the option to one or both or either by various apps
serenak
16:46:24
as Patrice said
Majikman
16:48:39
I supose a few complaints over missing functions as opposed to outcry over broken kit would be worth it.
Majikman
16:49:47
All new cars in the EU will have a speed limiter fitted in 2022 I. believe
Majikman
16:50:47
if that’s so, new drivers might then be limited to certain speeds.
Majikman
16:52:44
taking a long time to role out the Apple Card worldwide.
serenak
16:53:22
I suspect that has more to do with getting all the banks to agree than on Apple Majikman
chuck
16:54:08
Agreed serenak
Majikman
16:55:58
is that a remmnant of how Apple upset the music industry
serenak
16:58:09
No I suspect it has more to do with if not all the major banks agree on terms so it is in effeti universally accepted it isn’t worth it
serenak
16:59:03
if only say Barclays and TSB agreed on it then it’d only be usable in some places
serenak
16:59:22
which isnt a good experience
Majikman
17:00:19
isnt more to do with the BACS system for accepting any card for payment.
Majikman
17:02:53
good things come to those who wait, Patrice!!
serenak
17:02:56
I don’t know but I am pretty sure it is to do with something like that which they all have to sign up to
Majikman
17:05:47
Its to do with the NFC role out years back. Remember when they would take an imprint of your card. Some stores would only accept certain cards. Lets not even get into cheque guarrentee cards.
Majikman
17:08:51
Callum could you upgrade my old 17” MBP to run Big Sur and upto date apps. I love the creen size on it.
callumohara
17:11:02
Majikman, i’ll drop you a message in slack..
Majikman
17:11:39
thanks Callum
Majikman
17:12:11
will it scroll ???
Majikman
17:12:48
will it work on Macs, ipad and iphone
Majikman
17:14:18
They should supply free Statins with Office 365
JeffG
17:14:35
Ha!
Majikman
17:16:14
Man after my own heart Chuck.
Majikman
17:16:44

JeffG

Majikman
17:22:08
It would never fit Jeff, fall off of me every time.
chuck
17:22:17
