I realize this is totally off-topic, but has anyone else noticed how wide-stanced all of the presenters have been? Like your legs don’t stand that far apart normally; the announcer right now seems to literally need to constantly shift her legs to keep her standing stance so wide. I’ve noticed this a couple of other places too; is some body coach teaching the weirdest crap out in California right now?

Noticed this as well - was very bizarre and unnatural looking.

Yup, that and all the hand movements (along with the usual grandiose words used) were so distracting that I just stopped watching it.

Nice: the new display includes 12 MP camera and mic array. Price still TBD...not holding my breath that it will be affordable for the likes of me.

edit: starting at $1,600. Better than I expected, TBH.

Definitely. Right after watching an Apple event, it is a custom to get into a tank to blow some eldery people. But seriously, did it ever occur to you that there are a lot of Russians who are against Putin and this unjust war he started?

Of course and it sucks that Russians have to suffer sanctions because of the actions of their government. But what's the alternative? How do you put pressure on a government that attacks one of your allies without sending troops and starting WW3? We do it with sanctions and the way the world is organized these affect all citizens of a nation state regardless of their political affiliation.

A wide stance implies surefootedness and confidence. They are absolutely coached to appear the most certain they can when marketing/communicating statistics.

This is the only reason I'm tempted to get an Apple machine, tbh - those sweet, sweet compile times.

"let's not fix slow software, just pump more hardware at it" it is scary how delusional and inefficient "modern" developers are

If anything, better hardware is just an enabling technology for programming languages that run their static analysis at compile time. Rustc is written in Rust - it's not like it's going to get 10x faster any time soon.

Every jourinalist know this trick. It makes you stand still and don’t wiggle left and right, which just look bad.

Yes, I can't stop looking at it. They keep shifting their back foot to the camera as well to keep the power stance alive.
