Back in my day there were just two orientations. All these variations are…unnatural. Your screen came out of the box in landscape or portrait, and I don’t believe in any of this “diagonal” nonsense.

Popular form. DD made both the biblically accurate angel as well as the fsm in cookies this year. Luckily grandma doesn't understand fsm and just ignored the angel mention.

I still wish it could render rich text and pdfs/attachments in the composition window, but other than that (and lack of native ocr) it's been a perfect EN replacement for my uses.

Well shiver me timbers I didn't expect it to be on the open seas so readily. May your grog be strong throughout the new year.

I need to find an navally appropriated version. I have both, but the version with the restored song is a 4:3 VHS(?) transfer I think.

The only way you die on that hill is from crushing as we are all crowded on there with you.

Hell, I picked up the book last year and had forgotten that Marley was a single (former) partner, not two brothers.

This concept / discussion is going mainstream in the designer community. There was a prominent article in a recent magazine the serves the commercial steel association discussing the ins and outs of conversion. There are technical barriers, but they're trivial compared to the political and capitalist ones.

Isn't there Secret rule that if you double up on any one qualification you get to ignore one of your choosing? I'm pretty sure that the Supreme Court will back me up on this. ;-)

You apple fanboys are just so cute. The AR in Apple's headset will be laughably pathetic in 5 years. Their internal panel resolution is 1/4 of that already in testing by Meta and others - and even those advanced panels are barely at the resolution of the human eye. Vision pro is DVD quality to Full HD resolution on the human scale of acuity - passable but not great. They've included a 20W processor - a good one - in a headset that resolution that will get choppy and low texture on a dedicated 500W RTX4090 card (I'm curious how the advanced M2 handles the 6K/120Hz when the M3 can't even hold 30Hz on a similar pixel/clock count on the desktop with full cooling). By the same toke, saying that the existing quality is unusable is laughable. Will the VisionPro be better? I have no doubt. For $3500 it had better be. It's going to be a solid $1200 headset, I'd say, if it gets to that price by the beginning of 2025. If its 2026 before a real succssor...well, maybe it can come out at the same time as the "revolutionary" foldable screen Apple is "inventing" for their phones.

It's cool kit, but it's not revolutionary. It's just one more step which is in danger of failing because of the size of the potential userbase. And that potential failure actually makes me sad because I think it could be much more.
