  • Greg – Apple’s Vision of the Apocalypse

    by

    I’m with Greg in thinking that Vision Pro is fairly dystopian. The only use I could see is as instead of a multi-monitor setup, but then $3499 USD for a “companion” to your $2k computer???? WTF!!! That seems crazy. I hope to never see this on the faces of the people around me. I already
