Apple’s Vision Pro spatial computer, a VR headset with pass-through video, hand tracking, and eye tracking, is not just another VR headset. It’s not just an expensive Meta Quest 3 with higher-quality displays. It is those things, but it’s not just th

Apple’s Time Capsule base station put a Wi-Fi access point, a network router, and a backup drive that tied into Time Machine all in a single box. That was its downfall, too: If the drive failed or became corrupted, you had relatively few options. App
