Use cases: 1: FPV "how-to" videos are marginally easier to make, though GoPro remains a thing... 2: Users get to look like the nerd emoji 3: The rest seems like creepy-spying-on-friends-or-strangers kinds of things. Any constructive suggestions? I'm willing to be enlightened...

I tried to record every day things with my action cam and I always feel like a weirdo with a box hanging off, I think these would help me not care about that as much,

Out of curiosity, for what purpose? Do you go back and watch your videos of everyday things? Share them with friends? With photography (and most visual media) the secret seems to be to take many many photos, or draw many many pictures, or shoot tons of video, and then curate and edit meticulously to find just the very best parts. Do you really get much value out of recording lots of day to day video? Is this part of some kind of art project?

They have a brand problem. Absolutely no way I buy anything from Meta.

Well, your loss. My Oculus Quest remains the best $400 I ever spent on consumer tech.

Almost everyone I know who got a quest stopped using it after a week.

It's a fun toy, but gets boring pretty quickly.

This is very cool; It seems likely to be the next step in human computer interaction. I could see Meta (or someone else) adding cellular features and a small screen to the wristband and getting rid of a phone entirely.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do you think they rebranded? They are chasing after Gen Z, brainwashing that clean slate.

"rebranding" takes more than saying "oh, now we are 'meta'" FB launched with great positive repetitional aura, but, at least to me, they have worn that away bit by bit over the years to the point where it becomes hard to earn back,.

You'd be amazed how many <25s have no idea Meta owns Instagram and WhatsApp.

I saw the keynote, and while everything about the glasses was more or less as expected, seeing Zuck easily navigate the interface and type 30 words per minute while barely moving his fingers was a true WTF moment. If they can actually make the neural interface work that well then Meta has won this round.

Exactly, felt like the wristband was the big thing. I don't want the glasses, but I'm somewhat curious if it'd be useful as an extra input device when using a computer.

they've been bragging about how good that neural wristband is for years. It's strange they haven't ventured to make a smartwatch with it. Maybe because Zuck has been so focused on AR/VR

Very interesting. And also, I hereby ban them in our office. Thou shalt not wear spyware while looking at the screens that contain our company IP.

Do you also ban cellphones in your office? And email? Text messaging? If an employee wants to steal your IP, they will.

Yes. I work on a trading floor. Personal tech is a big issue in the world of private equity, investment banking, capital markets, law, medicine, proprietary research, coding, national defense, homeland security, most government roles, law enforcement, and may other professions. An employee may try to steal IP, but in the case of regulated industries, they can wind up in jail very quickly for doing so. This is no joke, and there is no room for sloppy move-fast-and-break-things jackassery.

> FB launched with great positive repetitional aura As a site that ranked how hot girls were?

The vast majority of users knew nothing about Facebook‘s origins until The Social Network. In the mid-to-late 2000s, the perception was of simply a much better designed, much more exclusive alternative to Myspace.

Hard to imagine nearly two decades later, but for a brief moment in time, it was cool to be on Facebook.
