On: Karl Guttag on Apple Vision Pro (Part 1)

How is it "pretty specific?" Any developer is running code locally (unless you work for Google or some company where they have remote codespaces). Why should I not want a headset that instead serves as a replacement for a laptop?

You might want it. Apple either doesn’t seem to be able to provide it, or didn’t prioritize it.

I don’t work for Google but I often SSH to my desktop to run my code. Why heat up my lap or drain my battery?

[satvikpendem → bee_rider]

Good for you, not everyone has both a laptop and desktop to get work done.

Sure, that's up to them. I can still want what I want however.

You can want whatever you want. It’s not a failure of apple that they don’t serve your specific need, however. They just built a product for different people.

Sure, that's fine. At the same time I can still call it a shame that they would have to do such artificial limiting. I'll more likely pick up the Android or Windows version of such a device without restrictions on what kinds of software I can run on my own hardware.
