Isn't it free though?


It's paid on iOS. Currently $5. There are alternatives that offer the same functionality for free, like Hyperweb (YC W19).


Doesn't work on either of the cherry mx keyboards I have and I haven't heard of anyone else having success with this.


I’m guessing it doesn’t need to be all that accurate for certain use cases.

Even just knowing the length of the password, estimating which keys in the sequence are capitalized (if Shift behavior is fairly easy to pin down) and being able to pin each key down to 5 possibilities would make a 20 character password trivial to crack. Right?


Same for me, it was laughably bad.


Listen to this person, they're a professional


Not getting this on Virgin Media in the UK - that is, the domains you mentioned aren't appearing in the route for me.


I have both options on Android. I can sideload or not sideload. On iOS I only have one choice..


The Oculus Go is mostly irrelevant now anyway. They'd never do this for the Quest.


Don't blame hypothetical children.


I'm not blaming them. It's an important consideration for me to have children.

Also, I'm going to wait until at least the FDA puts the vaccines through the ringer and approves them for general use.


Quite a bold claim.


But it doesn't win in compatibility, battery life, display quality, controllers, refresh rate or the fact you can lose access to the Quest if Facebook decide to ban your Facebook account.


I'm not sure if you mean the reverb, index, or something else, as I don't believe either the reverb or index have a battery.

Yes, the low cost & top specs of a quest are because you sell your data to Facebook.


Get people on board first. Lock it down once it's too late and everyone is invested.


That hasn't been their MO, historically. On macOS everything that's locked down by default can be unlocked (at least that I've encountered) regarding running software or other OSes on the hardware. They've made it "secure" by default, but not locked down, it's a simple switch to open it up.

If, say, the iPad or iPhone had gone this route (started off as open as Android and then became locked down) you might have a point. But they didn't, they started off restricted and have only (gradually, and to a limited degree) been opened up.

Examples? Been using the Mac for 15 years and haven't observed this myself. iOS was more or less locked down from go, but they never did some kind of bait-and-switch.


So your opinion of Apple is just that they're pure evil, or what?
