remember how over the past few years almost everything brand new had the word "blockchain" shoehorned into it for no good reason?
This is the same kind of thing. It's an atrocious boondoggle. There must still be a serious amount of cocaine floating around Venture Capitalist parties, because one of those boys is gonna drop 500M on this company and think they bought the dip, when in fact they, themselves, are the dip.
I can't even remember the last time when some hot new technology changed our lives significantly. I'm inclined to say Android because it was a new mobile OS and now it's everywhere and various devices but even that is more than a decade old.
Bluetooth ANC IEMs/earbuds were rare a decade ago, and now I see half the people around me wearing them all day
oh, for a while there, it was close. things have changed even in the past 2 months since I wrote that comment.
