Apple's WWDC keynote ended with one more
thing that took up almost half the length of the live stream I'm Riley this
is techlinked and this is the Vision Pro Apple's long rumored headset that Tim
Cook is a little too excited about the
mixed reality headset starts at 3 500 but it'll cost more if you wear glasses
because you'll apparently have to buy prescription lens inserts for the crime
of being born into a weak genetic line I messed up and already had a kid Apple is
telling me that was a mistake The Vision Pro features a higher than 4K micro OLED
display for each eye and audio pods for
spatial audio apparently the pods match
the sound to your rooms features and materials using audio Ray tracing which
is totally real and will definitely affect your ears frame rate so make sure
you get NVIDIA's dlss hearing aids that will stop the pain the headset
contains a buttload of cameras and sensors so you can control it with just
your eyes and hands take 3d pictures and
record 3D videos with spatial audio now the only thing stopping you from making
the immersive sex tape of your dreams is convincing a human being to sleep with
you while you're wearing what looks like a pair of albeit very nice ski goggles
if you'd rather not be reminded that you probably look like a dork environments
will allow you to block out the outside world while still allowing you to see
people when they get close to you
which is never to so alone to see whether this is really hot are you doing
this that's why you never let people get close to you and those people will be
able to see your eyes projected onto the exterior screen which I can imagine will
both help and hamper social uh interactions like your eyes are going to
be this removed from your face the device is kept secure with optic ID
which recognizes your iris so no one can
see all the videos of you failing to convince people to sleep with you while you wear your Vision Pro it's hard
enough as is hey I have a proposition for you
I need your Mac announcement today including a brand new 15-inch MacBook
Air apparently it's the world's best 15-inch laptop and I believe that
because a man apparently named John turnus said it twice in three minutes
he's no Craig federigi but he's doing his best that's what matters I'm cheered
for the turn to be fair it'll have the power of an M2 Chip two extra inches of
screen real estate and yet according to Apple will still achieve up to 18 hours
of battery life this is a feat a Windows laptop hasn't achieved since that time
hell froze over because it hasn't it's
never happened apple is also refreshing their Mac Studio lineup with their brand
new M2 Ultra chip they developed without any CIA brainwashing at all
some LSD though probably because it's just two M2 Max chips smushed together
and you're not gonna believe this but Apple says the ultra is twice as fast as
the max all for a low price of four thousand
dollars if you want it in the Mac Studio that is but why buy that when you can
buy the new Mac Pro with the same chip but more Thunderbolt ports and six PCIe
Gen 4 slots in the same swiss cheese
chassis you know and love according to the presentation if you put six video i
o cards in the Mac Pro you can ingest 24 4k camera feeds and encode them to
prores in real time why would you do
that you better think of a reason quick otherwise you're going to look very
foolish for spending at least seven thousand dollars on a new Mac Pro you
don't even work with video You're an air conditioning technician what were you
thinking hvacs don't need Max and apple
also announced major updates to all their os's iOS 17 will let you customize
a contact poster that other iPhone users will see when you call them opening up a
prime new Avenue for trolling Apple introduced live voicemail which is
basically pixel phone's call screening but better because you get to keep the
voicemail after great for spam message collectors also
apple is putting Transformer language models into their auto correct and
dictation features to make their results more accurate and personalized to you we
put llms in your keyboard I'm sure this will go fine for iPad OS Apple decided
to skip over how Craig federighi can somehow apparently harness the force so
they could focus on what we really care about widgets and when Craig was done
talking about widgets on iPad he came back to introduce macOS Sonoma so he
could finally dive deep into what users really want to see widgets including
widgets for Apollo for Reddit which will be great to use until the Reddit API
costs shut the app down too soon the biggest announcement
however was that Apple remembered about video games Sonoma has a new game mode
that prioritizes game performance like Windows does but
sleeker it's just better in some way they even
brought hideo Kojima on to announce death stranding for mac and got him to
encourage other developers to also bring their games to the Mac presumably using
Apple's new game porting toolkit that will make porting easier
this it's happening perhaps coincidentally or perhaps not cross over
a third-party software that allows Windows applications to run on macOS
also announced DirectX 12 support apple
series about AR Apple series about gaming now what's next a tech news

I haven't seen any of those Microsoft has revealed it is ending support for
Cortana on Windows 10 and 11 later this year this comes merely a week after the
announcement of Windows co-pilot their new AI assistant powered by Chachi BT
who's frankly hotter for some reason
though Cortana will still be available in the Outlook and teams mobile apps as
punishment to be fair Chachi BT is a better
representation of Halo's Cortana than Microsoft's Cortana I mean Microsoft's
original attempt wasn't even insane it just made users feel that way which an
Insider at Google has leaked what they claim are the specs for Google's
upcoming tensor G3 chip inside the upcoming pixel 8 and 8 Pro why
maybe they live for the thrill of such things they didn't explain that to
Android authority but they did say the G3 would have an elusive 9 core
configuration four little cortex a510s
four mid-size cortex a715s and a single
cortex X3 to bring the number of cores to an odd number
feels so wrong and maybe there's something to that because apparently it
doesn't even match the performance of last year's Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 on
geekbench Nona core
that's not a word that's I don't know nikor Finance the world's largest
cryptocurrency exchange and its founder Chang Pang Xiao are being sued by the
SEC over allegedly mishandling funds
does that sound so familiar anyway the commission levied 13 charges
against the firm including co-mingling and diverting customer assets to an
entity called Sigma chain that is owned by Zhao sounds like bad news for FTX I
mean binance sorry that was a freedian
slip
and several organizations have been affected by a mass hack with the
personal data of employees from BBC British Airways and others being stolen
due to a hack of their payroll services provider but that hack itself is a
symptom of a vulnerability in the widely used move it file transfer tool the
government of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia that's its full title was
also hacked potentially compromising the personal information of citizens Nova
scotians should take solace in being able to buy a home for less than a
million dollars you think you have it bad and you should
take solace knowing we'll be back on Wednesday with more Tech news it'll
everything's going to be fine is on to lose more Tech news
it's all about
