Episode notes
Drew’s Tiny Ski Jump Triumph
- Drew Magary described his best skiing performance at 47 after recovering from a stroke.
- He stuck to greens, blues, and tiny side jumps, joking that a one-inch jump made him feel like a Juicy Fruit commercial.
The Vision Pro Works Best When Nothing Goes Wrong
- Ed Zitron used the Vision Pro on a plane and found its entertainment remarkably immersive but physically uncomfortable and socially awkward.
- Darkness caused the display to shut off or misalign, illustrating how impressive hardware was undermined by unfinished software.
Why Apple Shipped An Unfinished Headset
- Ed argued that Silicon Valley increasingly ships incomplete products because investors reward growth signals more than finished customer experiences.
- Apple’s expensive headset exposed this logic through broken darkness handling, poor app support, sizing problems, and required resets.
