It sounds like you’re just trying to argue at this point. It’s not even about the hardware making itself, it’s about having 40 years of experience with making and marketing hardware and knowing what people want.

What in the fuck are you talking about dude? I don’t give a shit about this headset, I was literally just saying what I think he meant by it. Whether it’s the case or not Apple obviously has more experience in the hardware industry and that’s all I was stating. In my opinion this headset will be a flop as far as the consumer market goes.
People always jumping to fanboy lmao, that’s the real straw man

There have been plenty of times a parent company has ruined a company they acquired?

1 million isn’t really that much though.. Nearly 8 billion people on the planet. I agree with you though but I doubt it’s insane as it sounds

Reddit is a site for discussion dummy, if people just wanted to google everything there would be no reason to get on this site at all

Apple pretty much always took existing tech and just made it more accessible. Smartphones existed, MP3 players exited, Apple just made them slick and convenient for the average person to use.

I think you missed his whole point, he didn’t say develop hardware, he said develop success as a hardware company. Apple is known for selling hardware and knows everything that comes with it, Facebook does not.

Reply to comment by orchid_sprout in Stadia’s pivot to a cloud service has also been shut down | After Stadia's commercial failure, the pivot to Immersive Stream for Games is dead, too. by chrisdh79
I disagree, I think Stadia could have done pretty alright if they just marketed it better. It was truly amazing how well it worked especially compared to other cloud gaming services, and this is coming from someone with a 3080 and a PS5.

I feel like being able to write an essay isn't exactly a useful skill for most people, I think this may be a bad example. I'm definitely not mad it was something that I was taught however

I mean for people who are into tech it’s still somewhat interesting, even as a quick “oh neat”

It doesn't really matter but people are interested in/talk about lots of things that don't matter

They’re just kinda slow, even at their price points they should be a little snappier than they are
