Look-alikes of Apple products often pop up in China, and mixed-reality headsets have now joined the party. Chinese smartphone maker Vivo has introduced the Vivo Vision, a headset that mixes AR and VR and bears many similarities to the Apple Vision Pro. The company announced the Vivo Vision Discovery Edition at its 30th anniversary celebration in Dongguan, China, saying it's "the first MR product developed by a smartphone manufacturer in China, positioning Vivo as the first Chinese company to op

One of China’s Largest Tech Companies Just Copied Apple’s Biggest Flop

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-04 02:30:17

Apple has had some misses in the past (looking at you, G4 Cube), but in recent times, arguably no piece of hardware has been a bigger flop than the Vision Pro. But just because sales for Apple’s $3,500 face computer have been tepid at best hasn’t stopped competitors from conjuring up their own lookalikes. That includes Samsung and its upcoming Project Moohan headset running Android XR, and now, an almost laughably close lookalike out of China from smartphone maker Vivo. If Project Moohan takes

Vivo’s Vision Pro clone costs $1,400 and weighs 398g

Apple’s Vision Pro is a very nice piece of kit, but the $3,400 price means that even CEO Tim Cook has acknowledged it’s a niche product, and the 600g plus weight also means many find it uncomfortable to wear for longer than an hour. Chinese brand Vivo has attempted to address both issues in a design which looks remarkably like a direct copy of Apple’s spatial computer … Vision Pro price and comfort Price and comfort have been the two biggest complaints people have made about Vision Pro.

Don’t count out an M4-powered Apple Vision Pro just yet

Earlier this week, it was reported that the next-gen Apple Vision Pro will come with the upcoming M5 chip and not the current M4. Not so fast, however, says the source of the M4-powered Apple Vision Pro. Mark Gurman responded to the apparent code leak that referenced a variety of unannounced Apple hardware, including the next Apple Vision Pro. It was Ming-Chi Kuo who claimed Apple Vision Pro 2 would be powered by the M5 chip and support Apple Intelligence. That was September 2024. Apple added

For Iris Murdoch, morality is about love, not duties and rules

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-09 02:12:08

Being in love is one of the most profound experiences we can have, one that can powerfully move us and irrevocably change the way we see ourselves, one another, and even the wider world. Literature and film often explore romantic love’s capacity to move us and radically alter our world (think of Romeo and Juliet, for instance), but this experience is not limited to romantic love: parents sometimes speak of experiencing overwhelming love at the first sight of their children, for example.

SoftBank founder Son makes his biggest bet by staking the Japanese giant's future on AI

Masayoshi Son is making his biggest bet yet: that his brainchild SoftBank will be the center of a revolution driven by artificial intelligence. Son says artificial superintelligence (ASI) — AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans — will be here in 10 years. It's a bold call — but perhaps not surprising.

Job growth has slowed sharply; the question is why

After an avalanche of data last week, there are more signs of a slowing economy. Real GDP rose modestly in the first half, and inflation started to drift up. The labor market was the last piece to fall in line, and it did with a bang on Friday. Job growth slowed sharply starting in May (including large downward revisions in May and June), and the unemployment rate increased in July.
