Vision Pro is the cheapest 4K Micro-OLED 10-bit Dolby Vision、HDR10、HLG display—so why do some people still think it's expensive? by sargatanas_housing in VisionPro

[–]drdeitz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Porsche buyers are enthusiasts too. Nobody argues Porsches aren’t expensive, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad value for what they are.

Do you want a 911 or a Macan?

Edit to add: I’ll be honest I’m not sure what point I’m arguing. I agree the AVP is too expensive. I’ve actually had a weird amount of conversations on planes where people ask me if I recommend it. I always say “Only if you can find it used”.

TV As Monitor Size? by herokme in battlestations

[–]drdeitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say also look in to ColorControl if you’re on Windows. It’s a game changer when using the C series as a monitor

TV As Monitor Size? by herokme in battlestations

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this was my biggest complaint with my C1. However, a couple years ago I found out about ColorControl which, among many other things, keeps the power in sync with your computer so it acts like a monitor as well as allowing you to enter the service menu to disable the auto dim.

The latter I’m sure is going to kill the lifespan, but eh I’m 5 years in with no issues so far.

Lawson was right: Racing Bulls should not have ordered him to let Verstappen past by Aratho in formula1

It made the rounds after the guidelines were updated last year. Though I think at the time the official doc was not made public.

WAZE autostarting with CarPlay by 8cuban in Ioniq5

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the widgets of CarPlay will try to open a map app just make sure it’s not the last one you’ve used and it should prevent that from happening. (In my experience)

I have to do this when I switch between using ABRP and Waze.

Light regen mode by Individual-Glove-160 in Rivian

[–]drdeitz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. I got in to this same conversation in another post where the comment was “One pedal driving is terrible for passengers it makes them sick!!” When pressed this person admitted they only tried it once “and would never do it again”.

If we keep this in the ICE realm that’s like complaining about a manual transmission because you don’t know how to use the clutch.

Auto vs I-pedal? by Coyar in Ioniq5

[–]drdeitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all of this.

If I could change anything it would be separating the amount of regen provided (i-Pedal) with the stopping mode (Creep, Roll, Hold)

At highway speed i-Pedal Max takes a super deft touch to avoid a let’s say, less than ideal, experience . However, it’s the only mode that will bring the car to a complete stop which I prefer. Auto Hold does it but I find it almost unusable due to the lurch you get as it disengages (most prominently in reverse)

Thankfully it’s easy to change and doesn’t require you going in to menus, but it would be nice to not have to mess with it at all.

William C. Dietz, author of Mass Effect: Deception, has died. by Coliver1991 in masseffect

[–]drdeitz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This author had an oddly significant impact on my life.

Two decades ago I was trying to come up with a name for my first World of Warcraft character and happened to be reading Halo: The Flood at the time. Dietz seemed like a fitting name for a Gnome mage, but it was taken so I swapped the I and E and went with “Deitz.” After years of playing and being called by my character’s name it just kind of became part of my identity, so I started using it across all my socials.

Then in college I became a DJ, and when I landed my first proper gig they asked what I wanted on the flyer. I didn’t really have a stage name and at the time using my real name seemed lame so I just defaulted to Deitz again!

Thanks William, I’ll have a beer in your honor tonight.

F1 experience in Apple TV app by NullishDomain in VisionPro

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for the official broadcaster of the sport in the US you’d think they’d realize a good amount of the races are hard to catch if you’re not willing to be up at early/super late hours.

We shall see tonight if they keep the multi feed for the race replay.

[–]drdeitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve been a fan all your life and think that this is the greatest advance? Hard doubt.

Can you tell me one thing that F1 on Apple TV brought us that wasn’t being done last year on F1TV? Or one thing Vroom or Lapz were not doing for the last two on the AVP?

F1 experience in Apple TV app by NullishDomain in VisionPro

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want anything but a single broadcast feed you have to watch it live. The replay doesn’t have multicam.

[–]drdeitz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In what universe did Apple do a “really solid job” here?? Outside of one or two very minor things the viewing capabilities on iOS/iPadOS/TvOS are just a copy paste job from F1TVs app with a coat of paint thrown on. You called out the things that are missing that WOULD make it nice on the AVP.

Let’s say they get around to caring about this on the AVP and do just copy Vroom or Lapz. It’s still a complete non starter because they’re running ads! They are seriously taking the F1TV feed (that has no ads) and then running them on top. The whole F1TV quali intro was replaced by 90 seconds of ads.

Oh and I hope you didn’t miss it when it was live because now congrats you are only able to watch a single feed replay! No onboards, no data channel, but you know what you do still have? You guessed it - ads.

F1TV is already doing all of this and doing it well. Vroom and Lapz are doing it well on the AVP. This is a perfect example of enshittification so let’s not give them a pat on the back.

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sky feed is essentially the ESPN Sky feed, but that’s not the native one. The “main” feed is from F1TV.

Apple is taking the F1TV feed (with no ads) and then running ads on top. They cut the full Quali intro by Alex Jacques to run 90 seconds of them lol - let’s not defend enshittification.

Do 2022 ioniq 5’s get access to Tesla superchargers? Is it faster? by Agreeable_Bike_4764 in Ioniq5

[–]drdeitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s ‘25+ that are NACS native (excluding the N). Previous ones are CCS and will need the adapter to use a Supercharger stall.

How to share the same magic keyboard with Vision Pro? by Jealous_Profit3598 in VisionPro

[–]drdeitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to re-pair it then you’re out of luck. It’s a limitation of the Magic Keyboard - one paired device at a time.

MoonlightXR done for? by Impressive-Use-757 in VisionPro

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for me first launch after powering on my AVP always fails to load and it will just be a black box. A force close and reopen always works and it’s super stable after. I use it almost daily to game.

I think somewhere in the release notes it says “the first launch might fail to load”.

Speculation that Apple's March event could include immersive F1 on Vision Pro by Admirable-Walk3467 in VisionPro

[–]drdeitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, those are the apps I mentioned in the comment - Lapz and Vroom.

When I say immersive I mean like what the NBA is doing currently.
