@Spacefish @SadlyItsBradley They’re for a Windows mixed reality headset so I think that makes sense? Here’s the production model

@really_awolf @SadlyItsBradley pretty unlinkely, they have a "windows" button ^^

@SadlyItsBradley I don’t know who else could possibly confirm this for me Are these prototype Samsung Odyssey controllers?

@anicic_filip @SadlyItsBradley Yeah, my hypothesis is that they’re some sort of pre-production test unit

@really_awolf @SadlyItsBradley Other than the transparent rings, the controller looks exactly as the Samsung Windows Mixed Reality headset amazon.com/Samsung-Electr…

@HSTemile @requestmethod @levelsio @uniqlo FWIW it hasn’t required an app for a few years now. You can just dip your card.

@requestmethod @levelsio @uniqlo Amazon Go requires an app on your phone. it's no good for people passing by who just want to pop in for something. Also, if every shop had that system, you'd need dozens of apps on your phone, which is stupid.

I tried self checkout at @Uniqlo and it was so smooth and different Throw all your stuff in a box, it scans everything instantly via RFID, literally less than a second, no errors, tap your payment card, done! The scanning barcodes of supermarket self-checkouts makes it unusable, the software is horrid, it starts beeping annoyingly Supermarkets stopped innovating it at v1 and now everyone hates supermarket self checkout, as someone said in the replies 💯

@RachelVT42 @PatBhakta @businessbarista What are you talking about? Crypto was most definitely trending hard in 2020 into 2021

@PatBhakta @businessbarista No one could reasonably argue that the crypto trend started in 2020. Even saying 2016 or 2017 would make much more sense, and that’s still kinda late to the party.

I'm fascinated by trends. When you're early to one it feels like you have a secret that no one knows. Some real world examples: Creatine - 2021 Pickleball - 2020 Cold Plunge - 2020 Crypto - 2020 Keto - 2018 Psychedelics - 2018 Air fryer - 2018 Podcast - 2015 Crossfit - 2011 This was 1-year before each trend hit mass awareness. What's a trend that you think will hit critical mass 1-2 years from now?

@alt_bier Sad I won’t be there this year. Would have been great to see you. Have a drink for me and enjoy yourself!

we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses... hit it. We are on the road to Vegas for #defcon31 !!!

@RobertFreundLaw Anything about Twitter posts? I’ve seen lots of #ad and #affiliate

Today, the FTC announced updates to its Endorsement Guides (the rules about disclosing connections between creators and brands). I will go through the new additions in more detail in another thread, but here are a few specific Q&A examples from the FTC that jumped out at me: 🧵

@cloudprism_ @Rengle820 IMHO I think Amazon Go was a proof of concept anyway. Go to damn near any U.S. airport or event center and there is either a Just Walk Out powered store or Amazon One payment device. Much cheaper for them to drop their tech in a customer’s store 🤷

For a second, assume Apple and Meta are right, and spatial is the next major computing platform that billions of people will use on a daily basis. What industries will be disrupted? Find one you love and build something that’s useful today, even if it’s a niche.

@Valley_Camper @xsambuca @ZeldaUniverse You can’t, unfortunately. The owner gets scared and turns you away

@xsambuca @ZeldaUniverse YESS let me know how it goes!

What are some early game tips you can share about The Legend of #Zelda: #TearsOfTheKingdom? Let’s help each other out!

@danielasings Will Tamale ever get another vinyl run? It’s selling for insane prices online :(

@bensherman God dammit, Ben

If someone shoplifts at The Container Store, is it organized crime?

@lacecard Harry’s Bar. Thursdays @ 10pm. Friendly hacker weekly meet. Always looking for more friends to join us!

Ugh. I wish it wasn't so hard for me to make friends.

Guilty pleasure movies: - Inside Man Love this shit. It’s great. - The Italian Job (2003) This is one of those films that would come on TV and I’d watch it every time, commercials and all - Any of the damn Jason Bourne movies

iOS automatic updates have never, ever worked for my devices. Am I the only one??

@beltsquid @DeadBugAddition As did you lol

One of the most depressing things I learned in archaeology class was the fact that they’re having trouble rebuilding Notre-Dame Cathedral partly because many of the planks and wood came from trees that literally no longer grow that big any more.

@MissCharizardd @VOverN8 Flonase ain’t got SHIT on this nasty new thing that hit the market recently! Way faster acting and longer lasting, but tastes dreadful when it makes its way to your throat/tongue. Available OTC

@VOverN8 New Flonase dropped?

@bensherman Lol

If you are starting a new thing in AWS, please do yourself a favor and do NOT use us-east-1.

stunned by what we're seeing come out of China right now
