Xreal Discontinues Its Never-Released Nintendo Switch Glasses Adapter For Now My favorite would-be product from January, Xreal Neo, is not being released because of performance concerns. It also makes me wish Nintendo Switches worked better with video-out accessories in the fir...

Bummer that the Xreal Neo is not happening. Performance concerns are shelving it for now. I loved how small it was as a Switch mini dock for glasses www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

Thinking about the funnel into AI on a communication level…how we’re being reverse programmed in how we manifest conversation.

So Vision Pro runs a variant of iPadOS w an M5. MacBook Neo runs MacOS w A18. iPads use M series and A16. Phones are off to the side smoking a cigarette and watching

Pokopia Is the Glorious Return of Animal Crossing in Pokemon Form This Switch 2 exclusive might be its biggest killer app yet. I'm lost and in love with the cozy apocalypse.

I’m looking for a particular glasses charger dongle that I seem to have misplaced. It has five contact points. If you see it I’m downstairs at the table

MacBook Air M2 is starting to seriously lose battery in sleep mode. Is something set up oddly

At this point, I feel like Apple has realized it can't dictate how people use its products. So why not have separate devices that cater to the people who lean Mac and those who want iPad?

Or it could. It could…or I don’t know. This has both validated my beliefs and broken them

I Think Mac and iPad Will Merge. Does MacBook Neo Prove My Point or Make It Irrelevant? Commentary: I can see a future that could almost be here, and I've been waiting for. Does anyone else care, though? My wife says no, Scott, they don't.

Come sit and listen to my yearly rant on iPad and Mac converging and then wonder if I’m right…or if it matters. www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Oh cool. Next week it’ll be 78 degrees. There’s snow on the ground right now.
