OLED already works very well for TVs and other big screens; MicroLED would need to push into that market and prove its value against OLED. And OLED tech will not stand still while MicroLED catches up.
MicroLED needs market niches with lots of manufacturing volume to scale up and improve or they'll never get to a position where they can challenge OLED.
OLED are fantastic, I have one. But they just can’t get as bright and I’m not sure you’re ever going to solve the degradation issue.
You’re right the technology won’t stand still, but will it be able to match what MicroLED can do with at same price?
Apple just used an amazing OLED on the new iPad Pros. But they had to stack two panels to do that and obviously it’s not TV sized. Maybe something like that could compete with MicroLED better but the price is really going to be up there.
Plus you don’t have to start with TV sized things. I remember OLED starting in small display applications like front panel displays for some electronics. I’d imagine production MicroOED would be similar.
One of the issues Apple has is that they use extremely high-quality displays with VERY tiny pixels. You can’t just make the Apple Watch display significantly worse, people will notice.
But there are tons of consumer electronics out there they don’t need such high resolution displays. Things where it could be a good option early on.

MicroLED screens are much more expensive than any OLED screen. MicroLED TVs are currently sold for more than 100.000 USD.
Maybe automotive display panels? I’m assuming that microled would have similar dynamic range to oled but less screen aging? Automotive stuff needs to be incredibly durable!
Automotive displays you'll be viewing from <1 m, so the dot pitch needs to be higher than a TV, but at the same time it's not usually as demanding graphically, so chunkier pixels OK?
MicroLEDs are a long ways away from being used for smartphones due to pitch.
Google only pays because Firefox has enough users to justify it. If enough users switch to Chrome because of broken Google-owned websites, why would they keep paying?
What a delightful website, the design is frozen in time. From the News section it appears they're still running - they posted an update on a router upgrade today https://www.eskimo.com/news/
I took a look at freeSWITCH's site and it looks like they got bought out. Their documentation is a total mess because the acquiring company has imported lots of wiki pages without much care for how they fit together.
Food is parceled out so a small amount of food bank fraud creates a slightly smaller parcel for everyone, in the case where food is limited. If fraud rates are small, the cost to everyone is trivial; if fraud rates are zero, the costs get piled onto a few unfortunate souls who couldn't pass the test despite actually needing help.

This makes sense, thanks for actually writing an easy to follow explanation.

I think the current title is mistaken, the twitter user isn't claiming he can't use the Apple TV, he's just saying the message appears.
I encountered the same message when iOS 16 had just released and wasn't available on my iPad yet. It wasn't a blocking message, pressing "OK" was enough to make it go away, and when iPadOS 16 finally came out I was able to clear it.
It's bad UX but the Apple TV can still be used as before.
[twitter OP] This is true. Appears once a day or so, you hit OK. Sometimes during a show you're watching, sometimes while it starts up. Don't know if it becomes blocking some day...
Had something similar while setting up apple TV on a non-apple device for my parents, also had no apple devices.
Turns out, in my case at least, the warning was a little misleading.
It required me to log into their apple / icloud account and accept some terms, I did this with a normal browser (again non-apple) and the warning went away.
May be different in your case as I was setting up a new account for them.
The title is about the prompt requesting another device, not about wether they can't use the Apple TV after dismissing the prompt. So factually the title is right.
I'm with you that it's hard to understood at a glance or without context...which is to me a perfect encapsulation of the whole situation, and what makes the discussion so interesting.
Yes, I'm flagging the submission because of this -- I'm sure tons of people are upvoting based on the totally inaccurate title.
Which I feel weird about because I don't want to flag the story or the tweet or the comments... it's just the title specifically. So I kind of wish there were a way to flag a title. Hopefully it gets dang's attention and he'll handle it.
That attention is easy to get with an email. As to the story, it just becomes a story about an irritating periodic modal which is not very interesting once the title misunderstanding is gone.
That sounds interesting, could you share the script?
I've encountered a few obvious login attempts like that, but since they come from a broad pool of IPs it's not something fail2ban can easily handle without collateral damage.
It’s parsing smartermail logs which have a kind of funky format and the script quite tied to my setup (I have a central IP ban list because I also momitor non mail related protocols on multiple machines), so not sure it would be very useful to someone else.
