We don’t build pyramids anymore because we’ve figured there are better things to spend the money on.

It’s about mixed reality after all

That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account

For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.

Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

And if I happen to click on those videos only to confirm it’s not for me they will be like “omg, he’s crazy about this video! Let’s recommend 10 different variations of this video from now on!”

Quick! Hide it before some LinkedIn lunatic use it as some inspirational post about how AR tech will revolutionize our lives.

I think the biggest difference compared to all previous endeavors is that VR/AR devices are still this thing that collects dust in the corner even among the biggest enthusiasts.

Most people had some form of portable music player (like Walkman) long before iPod was a thing.

Every household had been equipped with phones long before Apple made iPhone. Cellphones were also a huge deal before iPhone.

Watches are old as time (pun intended). Fitness trackers was also a big thing before Apple Watch.

VR/AR? Most people don’t really care - despite multiple efforts from all the biggest tech companies. Is a more premium Oculus from Apple the solution? I guess time will tell, but I have doubts.

It’s making fun of people patting themselves on the back over how good allies they are for doing things no one ever asked for and isn’t helping anybody.

Like how white people informed others to use the made up gender neutral word Latinx instead of Latino/Latina, when no Hispanic has even asked for it or even want it.

Modern browsers are ringing all warning bells and whistles if a site doesn’t use HTTPS properly, possibly even preventing you to even load the site.

If you’re connecting to an insecure site, you will know.

AI has somehow gotten better with teeth than hands
