Good point.

High energy use. Anytime the power goes out you’d lose your bed, etc.
It’s also possible that the holodeck re-creations of things aren’t as realistic feeling as they look. It’s an illusion after all. So maybe a lot of it is just designed to fool the mind, not be comfortable/realistic.

Aren’t most golf courses using non potable/recaptured water these days?

Meh. At least it’s green space and not a strip mall or a parking lot.
- Comment on Cornered by the UK’s Demand for an Encryption Backdoor, Apple Turns Off Its Strongest Security Setting. 5 days ago:
Your definition of “rolling over” is different than mine.
- They’re requiring a warrant for the information. They don’t just hand over stuff at any request.
- They review the warrant before handing over the data. They don’t provide data in 100% of cases.
- They offer users end to end encryption, which would certainly make it difficult for the data recipient to decrypt if the data is handed over.
- They don’t offer the government a “backdoor” to make it easy to decrypt user data.
- They offer users the option to encrypt and store the data locally rather than uploading it to Apple.
What would you have them do differently when the warrants issued are valid in the legal sense/approved by a judge?

With a warrant.

Do you have citations for “Apple has rolled over forms enforcement in the past”? I’m wondering if this is country-specific.
Fortunately you can still back up your devices locally, and store your photos locally, and these backups can be encrypted.

Does VW even make the Jetta anymore?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Not in my experience. Apple products and services are driven by the yay or nay of the CEO. The employees often push back on things as well if they have enough clout.

It’s time for Tim Apple to retire.

- Comment on Top 3 Worst Starfleet Uniforms 3 weeks ago:
I love the maroon uniform era, but I hate the actual maroon uniforms. They look anachronistic, bulky and uncomfortably hot. I would put them on this list before I’d list any of the others.
- Comment on Microsoft Paint is getting a Copilot button, too 3 weeks ago:
It feels like product managers trying to keep their projects from being canceled. Something similar happened in the Copland era at Apple where everyone tried to tie their project to Copland to keep themselves employed.
