Precisely. The rest of the industry threw everything at dynamic lighting, with significant sacrifices on the way. But the reality is that most games would be completely fine, and look and run far better, with baked lighting! This is the path not taken.

Because iMessage is exclusive to Apple devices, and WhatsApp is on everything. Is it really that hard to understand?

No, it has only been abandoned by hypefluencers who used it for low-effort videos and then returned it. Most actual owners use it regularly. Don't confuse influencer hype cycles with actual consumer usage & adoption. They are not the same thing.

This was arguably the most significant revelation of the roadmap - Meta planning to actually productize its true telepresence research, the tech that may replace video calls.

A perhaps more important factor is that the modern world offers infinite distractions, and a plethora of rabbit holes to satisfy the same cognitive drives. Today's Einstein might be building redstone CPUs in Minecraft, or on their 10,000th hour of some obscure strategy game.

PlayStation 5 looks huge! Too big for many cabinets. Sony will certainly launch a slim model as soon as TSMC's 5nm is up and running. Disclaimer: I was sent this image, I don't know the source

This is indeed misleading. It's the experience people expect, in the age of Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro, but it's not what Steam Frame offers. That the marketing person here knows it's what people want says a lot.

I think this part in the video looks a bit misleading. Steam Frame doesn’t have a color mixed reality mode. The headset only has monochrome cameras for tracking.

It should be non-removable.
