Ok, those are fair points. The US is not innocent for sure, but consider the context of the times when the technology was developed, and also that a hydrogen warhead is 1000x more destructive than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and N

Isn’t this metadata from bulk surveillance?

Do we really want every household item squirreling information back to the manufacturer about our personal habits? Exactly who stands to benefit from that? Consumers will lose a fortune and shun the technology.

I always thought IoT was a stupid idea. From day 1 it sounded pointless and unprofitable.

The hell I am. 1 in 2000 UK citizens are infected with abnormal prions. CJD can be latent for 20-40 years. In addition they covered up early deaths from CJD to prevent a revolt, mislabeling cause of death. Seriously pull on that thread

But it is propaganda - thats what the BBC does. I think the HN types would be very interested in government propaganda from an organization that forced UK citizens to fund it or face jail. I mean you can’t just slip in a statement like that

"but that's a different thing all together." Only if by different you mean the same.

False. You get a fine and if you can’t pay, jail. And they did that at scale. Punishing the poor for not funding state propaganda television. And how about that time in the 80s when MPs went on primetime TV and ate cheeseburgers telling the

You ^ have no clue. I’m going to take it to the level above offensive tough love and just give up at this point. If you want a $5k headset to emulate a $100 1080p monitor, with a 3 hour battery life, and switches for every sensor so the sec

Be more specific. What exactly about my ‘tone’ don’t you like? Quote me even.

What do you mean you’re not a quest user? You didn’t buy your main competition’s product?

Not a thought through attitude. If it sounds like I’m on your case here it’s because I am. You aren’t even giving this product a chance at success. Expendable income for most is $400/mo. Your headset won’t sell in volume over that, esp

The headset must (requirement) be stand alone. You can’t have an 8 hour runtime on a stand alone headset with an i7. They have to go ARM I just finished a 6 hour session on the OC2 with the elite strap w/extended battery

That analogy is grossly misleading. The OC2 is state of the art and has competitive hardware specs, and is subsidized.

That i7 compute pack should be the first thing you cut to make an affordable product. If the headset is 2-5k in the current market I think you’ll be very lucky to sell 100, but would love to be proven wrong. Get the costs down, get more fun

Those prices are insane. No way. My Oculus Quest 2 is performing brilliantly for the $300 I paid. In fact had I paid $2000 for the OC2 I would’ve been well satisfied. FB/Meta have put billions into software development and are likely s

Funny I have had very similar experiences. The negative consequences for the work not being done soon compound the procrastination. I can’t say this is a solved problem for me, and I’m not a healthcare professional. But some tricks I’ve lea

I hate advertising more than ever. I consider it a form of rape, no joke. I’ll not tolerate it at all, for any reason, ever again.

Another reason to buy AMD. Could they have timed this ‘feature’ any worse?

Turning 40 this year. So you sound a little depressed. Not dating may be a mistake. It may be that your unconscious mind is suggesting you start a family and plays down other activities. To your last point; You don’t’feel’ that time is runn

Disgusting. What you should do is call your bank and reverse the charges for fraud. Unless you bank at Mercury in which case customer service will just laugh at you because they’re a shit bank (that I’m ditching today)
