Comparing Meta Quest to Apple Vision Pro: Zuckerberg Did It Right…

Yeah I get it. Zuckerberg promoting Quest, and saying it’s better than Apple’s Mixed Reality headset, was more than a bit self-serving.

Galaxy S24 Ultra: How PetaPixel (and Other Photographers) Keep Getting Android Cameras Wrong…

So help me I’m doing a reaction video. The end is nigh.

Following Samsung’s Unpacked event, the guys at PetaPixel had a lot of thoughts to share about the S24 Ultra. During a recent podcast, they asked:
