@jmdagdelen @markgurman Nerds want vr headsets to use their browsers. Chads want ar glasses to check their stocks

You are being confused by someone. “Enclosed” headsets in general are dead industry wide because the superior design is a light weight mixed reality headset with open sides like what was shown by Gravity XR and Play For Dream at CES this year. That does NOT mean that headsets themselves are on ice. Everyone who actually works in the industry knows that the next gen of headsets look more like glasses to consumers but there is a consistent through-line. Stop talking out of your ass, please. It’s making our jobs harder.

Incredible amount of false info right now on AVP. Truths: Glasses are the priority; Enclosed headsets are on ice for now; visionOS isn't dead; the Vision Products Group was split up and many parts of it were moved elsewhere; no hand control on first display-less glasses/AirPods.

@getVITURE @XREAL_Global catch up

@AndyMorphs Investor mood seemed to have been positive over the last month but i guess they don't have to work there :)

@TopSpiffy Negative obviously lol. No one’s getting paid to be happy.

A lot of people’s mood seems to be changing on Meta. It’s interesting

@Turbolunch Steam Machine gonna have 10 year old hardware by the time it releases

At $750 would you buy Steam Machine?

@dannyaroslavski Maybe you should tell it that in your prompts

Wish AI would stop prefixing every response with how ingenious my prompt was. Stop flattering me and use those tokens for the task at hand!

@dingies @MikeMcDonald89 Who said these aren't about bitcoin

@MikeMcDonald89 So your posts are confusing and in code even if it’s not about btc and the markets!! Wow I was today years old. ❤️ 🍝

Carb loading for cardio sports- I've never heard anyone describe this but I think just counting fat and protein is much simpler than counting carbs. Just make sure you're full all day and don't allow over 50 grams of fat or 100 grams of protein (or something along those lines)

@merlinscapital @zerohedge Why they want dirt on woman so bad?

TMZ IS PAYING 100K FOR ANY SCANDAL STORIES ON CONGRESSMEN OR WOMEN

Claude code didn't get worse, you just had it write too much shitty code and now your codebase is a mess @theo

@VRNima Is the ring the best input method for glasses?

I finally got my Even R1 a few days ago and so I’ll finally be able to give the Even Realities G2 system a full and comprehensive review.

@jmdagdelen Why not get the g2?

Anyone have a pair of even realities G1 they want to sell?

@jmdagdelen You need to do QA in Tenderloin

@Lunayian What genre of media?

@andymstone incredibly silly

@cixliv @jsrailton @MentraGlasses

@jsrailton 90% of american hardware is taking simple chinese hardware, putting a different chassis around it and market it as something fancy to sell it for 10x

Seen this viral tweet about a portable audio jammer? Looks cool, right? It also looks quite similar to 100s products sold on Alibaba & in spy shops for years. Or as DIY kits for $50 in parts. They use ultrasonic noise to overwhelm very close-by microphones. I'm skeptical about the price tag & way it's being marketed, and I'd like to share why: it seems to me that what differentiates this, aside from the privacy-aligned language, are claims that sound to me like they've developed "novel physics" & use AI to detect microphones. This would be extraordinary and would require equally extraordinary proof if true. I suspect that the reality may be more like using WiFi etc to scan for devices. This is not novel physics. The problem: many of the microphones that people are most worried about don't emit wifi or bluetooth etc. Or could be a phone in airplane mode. Etc. Additional issues around ultrasonic jamming? Complex range limitations, issues with room reflections, fabric absorbing emissions from your jammer, obstructions etc.. A phone in a fabric pocket might not be defeated by this device reliably, for example. Critically also: the range of this kind of tech is the distance between the emitter and the microphone. Not between you and the unwanted microphone. So if you are in a normal size room and the microphone is, say, 3 meters from you in the ceiling, or on the other side of the couch, it might well still hear you clearly. Consider asking your friendly local expert in audio, physics, or security before purchasing or investing in this product. I'm not one of those. Source of my understanding: I spent some time a few years ago planning to assemble such a device and read a lot of papers. I may be wrong in my understanding (or missing something!) and would happily correct if I've misunderstood what they are offering. To learn more about this popular and well-known category of object, watch @LinusTech from a year ago youtube.com/watch?v=FyeCn7…

@nick_vladkis @troyhouse Then you generated capital losses. Did you use those yet??

@SadlyItsBradley Source?

Pico Swan: months ago I was told that the HMD went from its early design of split thin/light goggles with compute puck, to an “all in one” design Despite that, the headset was still only ~270 grams The cost to make these new Pico HMDs are also about as much to make Vision Pro..

@Lunayian Why would they do that

I wonder if they will avoid showing the physical hardware during this and just focus on the OS.

Anyone else tired of contrived AR usecases? Yes the tech is cool, but the solutions are for problems that don’t exist.

@SkarredGhost How does it compare to the pico stuff?
