A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

So literally like any other VR headset, but for less money. For 3.5k you can buy a great pc AND a vr headset.
If you watch some reviews, there's nothing else like it on the consumer market. It really does look like Apple have made a generational leap forwards with this thing.
But I'm not buying it. I'll buy one of the inevitable competitors, after a generation or three, because I also have no interest in joining the Apple ecosystem. I like having control over my devices too much for that.
Same for the reason, i dont say its not innovative combining vr and ar, but the closed ecosystem will kill it in the end.
People have said this about every Apple product. They continue to thrive.
We are in a very specific bubble here on Lemmy. And in the Lemmy bubble, yeah, Apple products will never be the most popular.
But the average consumer could not possibly care less about “closed ecosystems.” They want a device that works smoothly and looks nice.
Thrive? The only thing i see is an cash grabs from big corporations.
Maybe you missed Apple going from a nearly-defunct company in the 90s to one of the most valuable companies in the world, with a market cap in the trillions and nearly a quarter of the global smartphone market share.
While that is certainly the result of cash grabbing, I think it’s also fair to describe it with the word “thrive.”
no. the Vision Pro is a PC and VR headset. well, a Mac inside a VR headset.
it's a standalone device, not an accessory like other VR headsets.
It's an iPad inside a VR headset that can show a remote desktop (single monitor) from a Mac automagically without too much friction if the user is logged in with the same apple id. Cool but not $3500 cool, remote desktop in VR can be done with 10-15x less money
M2 (MacBook) with iPad apps
The iPad pro is already with the M2 chip, no?
That’s the pro pro, not the normal type
Wow a pc but for 1 hour or be plugged in like any other macbook. So its a accessory like a macbook to the wall socket ;D
Oh no, in order to play Mac games on the headset (on a simulated flat screen) you need to connect a compatible Mac with enough horsepower to run a game in 4k. So it's 3.5k for the headset and another 2k for the "gaming" Mac
