I was confused about this line at first: 'When Tim Cook unveils Apple’s new “mixed-reality” headset later this year' If I'm understanding correctly: there's AR glasses that were expected, which are not happening this y

LastPass was my first thought, but I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue and decided it couldn't possibly be them. Now I'm not sure! I've emailed you a list of the extensions I use in Chrome - if you want to
