If they would just unfuck their mobile app I would listen a lot more. It's so insanely buggy and poorly designed.

Well it's a step in the right direction I guess

Honestly this is the best way to go. I wish I had the gumption.

I am so here for this

Yeah that's a pretty good take. Klepper's on the street interviews with MAGA idiots and the like are the most Daily Show feeling bits of content I've seen since Stewart left.

They used to run Daily Show and The Colbert Report back to back on Comedy Central and that worked fine. Both shows were pretty popular.

I liked Craig too, that was a fun era for Comedy Central. I remember they played a lot of Absolutely Fabulous and Viva Variety back then. Good times.

It's really better to think of them as two completely different shows both with very different philosophies and strengths. One just happened to begin when the other ended. Also Jon's show took a while to find its legs.

Here's what that Mark Gurman dude (Apple/Tech journalist for Bloomberg) tweeted about it:

The Vision Pro virtual keyboard is a complete write-off at least in 1.0. You have to poke each key one finger at a time like you did before you learned how to type. There is no magical in-air typing. You can also look at a character and pinch. You’ll want a Bluetooth keyboard.

So sounds like its either poke or look + pinch gesture and both options suck for a keyboard. I just think a virtual keyboard is a very difficult problem to solve for for several reasons which is why every attempt at them thus far has been shit.

And that's kinda the whole problem with VR/MR. It's some of the absolute hardest computing and optical and battery hardware and UI challenges we can find, all bundled into one product. It's just an incredibly steep task and a lot of the solves aren't even really a matter of "oh this is expensive" as much as it is "we're not sure if this is even possible right now."

I really hope we eventually get a fully mature device. I quite like VR and see so much potential in it.

Yeah Freetube has been problem-free for me so far. I just used it an hour ago. Worked great.

I also regularly JDownloader > Plex for longer form video podcast stuff I like watching at the gym. Also no issues there.

Everyone losing their minds over this like Firefox doesn't exist.

Stop using Chrome.

The reason this is even a big problem is because everyone piled on Google's browser despite all the obvious reasons that wasn't gonna be a good idea on the long term.

I never understood why anybody thought a company – whose principal business is advertising and data mining – wouldn't eventually rug pull everyone like this with their browser as soon as it hit critical mass for market share.

Supposedly the gestures are one thing they did a really solid job of based on the demo recaps I've watched. And the eye tracking supposedly works quite well for focus state switching. The main complaint I've heard is that the virtual keyboard sucks.

I'll be really interested to see more in depth reviews when they start coming out.

My personal theory on it is that what they really want is a device with an actually clear screen kinda like a Hololens, but not shitty and huge. Unfortunately technological hurdles prevented them from doing that, so this was their solve.

I suspect this eyes-through-the-device form factor is philosophically a branding element to them so they're faking it until it can be real to maintain some consistency.

I could be totally wrong though and it's more simply trying to "humanize" the things or some such. They're an idiosyncratic company sometimes. I would also not be surprised if they release a cheaper model in the future without it.
