Is he known outside of Germany?

[–] Pancito@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

My first thought. Makes the meme even more accurate 😂

I’ve been amazed at how goofy these apple goggles look juxtaposed with how excited rich nerds are to hoover up new a new apple toy and tech personalities are to talk about a new apple product.

I'm sure the overlap between people who bought Google Glass thinking it would be the future, and people buying this thinking it will be the future, is just a circle.

Apple has a better track record of sticking things out though so who knows, maybe this one will stick.

Apple has a better track record of sticking things out

That's true and the reason why I couldn't stand staying in their ecosystem. Apple fans are just insufferable. They gobble up every shit Apple ditches out and cheer them on when they report just another record quarter paid by themselves.

I'm very skeptical of vr as a general mass market product. But if they're willing to have another semi-niche system on their line up then this probably will last a long time. There are tons of people who will always be enthusiastic for vr since it harkens to a childhood dream of theirs

The airpods looked ridiculous. Now they're a fashion statement. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

They still look ridiculous though.

Better yet, if everyone is wearing these, then everyone can see and hear everyone else as the people they approve of. You could hold a conversation with someone thinking they're a Democrat while they think you're a Republican, and both would walk away glad to have found a like-minded person.

What?

I don't understand how what you're saying relates to the Apple goggles, it sounds like you might as well have said that if everyone wears wireless earbuds, everyone can start hearing eachothers thoughts.

Did Apple announce some sort of Snapchat filter and live translate function that you're making fun of, or is the comment just absurd?

I'm just making a joke about what some Black Mirror version of this might do in some dystopian future.

[–] Shaggy0291@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 2 years ago

Good. This way they'll never see us coming...

Siri, make me look like a cunt

[–] GreenCrush@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Holy shit this one is good. Made my sides hurt.

Siri, mark all of the plebs

Siri, engage death mode

[–] Peruvia@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Just becauee you can't see them, doesn't mean they won't guillotine you

[–] 1draw4u@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Siri, activate nude filter!

Fantastic short story that included this element: https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/larson_05_23/

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

test - please ignore

Ok so my theory is they’re not doing full 3D stuff on it because the GPU isn’t up to standard so they’re doing the whole floating frames thing.

But after a couple of generations it’ll be able to do gaming.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For 3.5k imagine not even be able to use it for 2 hours only

[–] MrBakedBeansOnToast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can, just need to plug in. Only wireless is limited.

[–] SuperSleuth@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

All-day use when plugged in is the stupidest marketing I've seen from apple.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah thats the issue double then. Bought a 3500 wireless item and you have to plug it in 24/7. Probably they dont even deliver a 1.5m cable lmao

[–] CasualWindVane@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

First generation anything will be trash, I won’t even consider buying until gen 3-4
