Hands-on with Cluely's “cheat on everything” tool: the AI can't intuit what the user needs despite being given prior context and takes long to give a response

Tech evangelists have been yammering about “working smarter, not harder” for years.

The Epic Games-Apple antitrust battle resumes in appeals court; the US DOJ and state of California have been granted time to explain antitrust legal frameworks

Sarah Perez / TechCrunch :

The first question from the Ninth Circuit is whether switching costs were analyzed accurately. “I pay $1500 for my iPhone, and we're talking about something like a 30% tax on a dollar transaction later on. ... I don't really understand the life cycle cost of that.”

@Heaney555 It's one of my “am I taking crazy pills” moments — I find it so fundamentally unpleasant. Although also if you're talking first-party apps Meta built itself, what is there to compare it to? Rooms and venues, I guess?

Meta Quest Pro review: improved controllers but irredeemably bad software and feels like it was launched without plan or purpose, highlighting VR's drawbacks

which is a 4/10. https://www.theverge.com/... Adi Robertson / @thedextriarchy : The Quest Pro has some interesting ideas, but they're not deployed remotely well enough to be worth ...

@prvncher I'm kinda curious how long the device itself will stick around, because Meta seems committed to a really rapid update cycle. I'm excited to see what people do with eye tracking and I hope an ecosystem gets built out in the next year or so.

@Sean_McBeth @reckless I think headset resolution and weight is just 100% not there yet for VR to be a good desktop replacement, no matter what app you're using. And the fit/weight was a notable downside over the Quest 2 for me, even before you get to the price gap.

I'm honestly surprised at how aimless the Quest Pro launch is. Facebook/Meta has historically been great at giving you at least one really fun thing to do with any given VR headset. But the Quest Pro is all about Horizon and Horizon is some of the worst software I've ever used.

The caveats: I think the new controllers are way more convenient and I love the charging dock, I hope it shows up in future headsets. The battery was not as bad as I expected. If the headset weren't so heavy, the new halo design might be nice.
