@theonecid Good. Apple used to take big risks and push into new categories instead of always playing it safe. I’d rather see them swing on moonshots again, even if some of them fail.
@YashHustle_22 Because coding ≠ engineering. AI can write code, but it still takes skilled engineers to design the system, verify the output, debug failures, handle security, and make the actual technical decisions.
@Shahbaz30709021@GregoryMcFadden A normal punch hole is easy when it only needs to expose one front-facing camera. Apple also has Face ID hardware up there, including an infrared camera, dot projector, and other TrueDepth components. Those need a very clean optical path through the glass.
If Apple goes all-in on home tech, I could see them seriously competing with Ring. Cameras, doorbells, locks, and everything else all working seamlessly through Apple’s software would be insane.
Apple's upcoming HomePad smart home hub is set to be announced in October.
The device will feature a square display and custom homeOS software, as well as a camera for FaceTime calls.
a single fortnite map made $4.5 million in a year.
the mechanic: epic pays creators based on minutes played on their island, not views or followers. they share ~40% of fortnite's net revenue into a creator pool, split by engagement.
the map that hit $4.5M wasn't a technical showpiece. it was a box fight map. simple, replayable, 20 minutes between other games.
to qualify: 18+, 30 days on epic, 7 of those days in uefn (the editor, free download).
no follower minimum. no revenue threshold.
the trick is return players. the system weights repeat visits, so a map people come back to every week beats one that goes viral once.
worth a weekend if you haven't looked at uefn.
