This might be the dumbest take I’ve heard today.

Everything your smartphone does your laptop can do, too. Therefore, smartphones are useless!!

Everything AR can do that your smartphone can do today will be a hundred times more convenient because you don’t have to carry a slab of glass with you all the time. You just have to wear glasses. Like I already do anyway.

The only reason for smartphones to still exist in a world where AR is compact will be if we can’t figure out a way to efficiently input data without annoying everyone around us. As soon as that problem’s solved, nobody will be using smartphones anymore.

Yep, that’s why I was thinking of that example 😄

I agree. But unfortunately, nobody gives a flying fuck.

In theory, there’s a Million awesome business applications for it.

Let’s say you’re in construction and your glasses tell you exactly what to build where and how.

You’re a waiter and the glasses tell you which table ordered what, needs attention, etc.

You’re a network engineer and the glasses show you on every port which device is connected.

And don’t even get me started on the military applications.

Of course we’re not there yet. But that’s why they’re so obsessed with it. They want to be the first.

Wow that’s cringe.

A non-issue??? That is absolutely an issue, because 90% of consumers won’t know about this fix. It’s outrageous that a consumer facing brand introduces such arbitrary vendor lock-ins, especially without reason. It’s just like HP with their ink lock. An absolute dick move and should not be supported in the slightest.

Of course they are an error, what are you talking about.

Error: A mistake; an accidental wrong action or a false statement not made deliberately

I’m going out on a limb here and say that no woman ever thought about that.

Cyberpunk on a smartphone chip? I believe it when I see it.

It still impacts a lot of people because we here are in the minority and we can’t save them all. So it’s absolutely valid to have this piss you off.

I’m sure there’s some legal text somewhere that states that deleting only refers to the association with your user account, but the actual genome data will still be kept “anonymized.” There’s just no way in hell that they’re actually deleting it all. Their lawyers are smarter than that.

It’s like saying “people share photos and videos all the time on Twitter. What is the difference with Instagram?”

So you’re saying you’re pro vigilantes and pro death penalty without court order?

Besides, that CEO didn’t kill anyone personally. One could argue you killed a few kids yourself by buying cheap electronics and clothing. If you now start just killing people that you think deserve dying because of some moral standard you think you have, you’re a fucking lunatic without any moral standard.

You guys do realize that you are glorifying a literal murderer, right? Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.

Okay, just checking.

Tell me you’re a JavaScript StackOverflow copy-pasta noob without telling me you’re a JavaScript StackOverflow copy-pasta noob.

That’s fine, at least they just increased the family plan pricing by 60%. Oh, wait.

Sure, it’s either everyone cares, or no one cares. No in between. Dude.

Look at the statistics. US has 1K servers. Thats 1 server per 340 000 people. France has 1 server per 82 000 people. Germany has 1 server per 114 000 people. See where I’m going with this?

Last I checked, the Fediverse as a whole is kind of an European thing. Across the pond, nobody really cares. They have a very different understanding of privacy and freedom and therefore no real desire to use some decentralized crap with shitty UI and broken federation when there’s a perfectly good alternative out there that just works™️

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.
