Immediate "flashback". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkr1oUH1SV8 . This is a German version while Astérix is a french comic (and perhaps not widely known outside Europe?).

oh wow, I haven't seen this in many years. Thank you :)

That's a very creative way of spicing up a boring old glass eye! I imagine such "wearable" tech could also be the ultimate version of those snapchat glasses. Putting a battery inside your eye socket seems incredibly risky to me, though. Especially one that can power a bright light like this for a while...

We already do this with pacemakers

The repulsion hackernews crowd will face while opening TikTok.

Why? I've been on HN forever and I'm a huge TikTok fan. I will never understand the outright rejection on TikTok, there are so many cool projects which produce TikTok devlogs. Not just that several niches which I don't see often enough on HN (like AI ethics, not just copy right stuff) have entire channels on TikTok.

You're focusing solely on the content.

My abject hatred of TikTok stems from who controls it.

I wonder what power laserpointer you could fit in there without going overboard with the battery... Imagine being able to light matches by looking at them for a bit. On the other hand, every mirror would be a great chance to lose your other eye as well, so maybe disregard my ideas.

Optic blast!

For those that don't want to go to TikTok's page (for one reason or another) there is a proxy service you can use, like how Nitter is used for Twitter, called ProxiTok. Gets just the video, description and ability to download it.

The first video in the GP proxied: https://proxitok.pabloferreiro.es/@bsmachinist/video/7157587...
