  • I have a UFO Civic and, out of all the cars I’ve been in, it has hands down the best dashboard. Everything is tactile and arranged in a way that I don’t have to look away from the road to adjust anything.

    Beyond tactile vs. touchscreen, I wish more manufacturers payed attention to ergonomics so I wouldn’t have to reach into my ass to find the AC or the defogging button.

    Fun little piece of trivia: Originally, nimrod used to mean “skillful hunter” (after Nimrod, the biblical figure) but then in 1940 Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod", and kids of the time not knowing the reference, simply assumed it was an insult on Elmer’s character.

    And that’s how a cartoon rabbit single handedly changed the meaning of a word.






  • There’s nothing reasonable about these assumptions.

    There’s no way the VisionPro gets even close to 100W. Why? Because heat dissipation. The vast majority of power drawn by semiconductors is dissipated as heat and, in a device that’s strapped to someone’s face, there’s simply no way to dissipate hundreds of watts.

    Also, knowing the battery pack size and battery life, it’s easy to guesstimate the power consumption.

    “The Apple Vision Pro provides approximately 2 hours of battery life. Based on its size, the internal battery capacity is estimated to be within 20,000mAh (74Wh), resulting in an overall power consumption of around 30W.”

    Even if we assume the double of that 30W, it’s well within USB-C standards.
