GTA 6 will be 60fps on PC and next gen, part of the reason the PC release is held

[Ben @benguild]

@flyosity @johnternus it’s because they stopped hand-writing their code in Obj-C 😂

[Ben @benguild]

@stephane @elvin_not_11 he’s getting the iPhone Elelvin

[Ben @benguild]

I really want to play GTA6 when it comes out, but I know I’ll have at least ten years to do so based on their current release cycle.

Touchscreens on desktop and notebook computers help increase software parity with AR/VR operating systems. (reach out, press/grab/swipe, etc.)

[Ben @benguild]

Getting face recognition working well on a foldable device seems like a real engineering challenge. It has to work on BOTH the inner and outer display surfaces… ideally AS you're unfolding/rotating the device without delay. Way different than on a "slab phone" with one surface.

I'm wondering how reliable AI is nowadays for businesses operating atop it. For engineers who are experts, they're able to apply enough guardrails to get reasonable results. — But, what about for non-experts or totally automated processes? You still need to be able to judge it.

[Ben @benguild]

@flyosity bro WHY did you not build this meticulously by hand using Obj-C

[Ben @benguild]

I genuinely like the iPhone Duo, but this first generation one seems like a tougher sell for folks who are used to more polished devices/models. (I'm excited for what's to come)

[Ben @benguild]

@Stammy instead of the Duo just get this

[Ben @benguild]

For me, the iPhone Duo this round (like the Vision Pro) is a “try” not a “buy” …
I used a BlackBerry until the iPhone 4 came out (when they nailed it 👍🏻)

[Ben @benguild]

@StatisticUrban it’d be nice if they at least had trees

[Ben @benguild]

@ch3rryxx13 landlord hasn't done maintenance in 50 years, won't sell for less than $3mil

[Ben @benguild]

What do you mean I have to code by hand because there's no starlink on the plane

[Ben @benguild]

@mrdoob looks awesome, put it online with some free assets by Claude 😂

[Ben @benguild]

@saishowaguu2 Yes, several times. Japanese culture can be very indirect, you have to consider why they'd reject him for that not that they did

[Ben @benguild]

@mrjeffu I highly doubt this was the real reason.

[Ben @benguild]

I like the idea of iPhone Duo showing weather on it in the mornings. My old apartment had this ePaper weather display I put together for this purpose. https://t.co/KoSQmHaFTs

@luciascarlet android tablets are just large phones 😊

[Ben @benguild]

@flyosity why Obj-C now? there are so many nice Swift features
