How does the finger thing work? What's he doing? I saw him tippy-tappy but it didn't seem like he's moving through some invisible keyboard.

It’s tracking the EMG signals that trigger your finger tendons. Doing that it knows how your fingers are moving. It can therefore translate it to a handwritten stroke and then do classical handwriting to text conversion.

But I only type with my index fingers!

You've got to type with your shoulders if you want to avoid RSI!

Meta locked two games I already paid for - Blade & Sorcery VR and Beat Saber - behind account verification on the Quest 2. I already bought both of these, played them for a while, but now it won't let me use the headset without "verifying" my facebook account by sending them a photograph of my drivers license. Neither of these games are online, neither allow me to interact with other users in any way. I will never bu…

How does that work? The Quest doesn't even require a Facebook account. They were decoupled in 2022.

I'd assume the purchases were made with the Facebook account, when it was still required, so the purchase can't be used on another account ?

I haven't checked, but the Facebook decoupling was made kicking and screaming so I assume there will be rought edges

Some sites outsource their ID verification to platforms that want live videos of different angles of your face, along with pictures of your ID. Literally all the data they could possibly need to build 3D models of your face for even better facial recognition, along with plenty of data to train models on. When that data eventually leaks, it will be interesting. It's insane that anyone puts up with it.

people scan their retina in exchange of coupons amd shitcoins in mall booths

Some people also eat rocks, it doesn't mean it's common or even a good thing to do.

It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. I bought these both in clear and sunglasses and I love them. I've recorded some of the most amazing videos of my baby with them. Listening to music is fantastic as it's different from regular headphones since you can still hear the world around you — I've even done a few longer bike rides with them and…

I wamt less screens, not more.

*fewer* screens.

And among their non-technical contributions, you have genocide in Myanmar, election interference worldwide, the explosive growth of hate speech, countless teenager suicides, and more.

Any large company can write a web UI framework, but only a truly special one can directly contribute to genocide, know about it, have employees bring it up and suggest intervening, and decide that nah, they'd rather let people die and make more money.

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.

there are only a few companies where very strong vision, long time horizon and pouring money into said projects come together.

NVIDIA, obviously and Meta are definitely on this list.

WhatsApp. Instagram not really. WhatsApp has unfortunately become "official" (not in a figure of speech) mode of communication in certain countries, one of which has more than a billion people in it.

Depends on who you are. Quite a lot of careers require you to market yourself on social media now. You can hate Meta with a passion but acknowledge that you still have to reach customers who are on Instagram.

Well, what you are pointing out sounds like a role “Influencers needed”. So that’s obvious.

We don’t need any of those. So many brilliant people working at facebook and wasting their talent.
