     @coolboymew for a vr headset it's not that much new, although price point is ridiculous.
     
     i would rather get a https://store.bigscreenvr.com/products/bigscreen-beyond

     @coolboymew the consensus seems to be that this is hedging their bets that AR actually becomes a thing that people want so they don't miss the boat. (i don't see that happening outside of tech bro circles and status seekers). at this pricepoint it's looking like it's more a dev kit for other companies to buy to start trying it out rather than a real product.

     @coolboymew I wanted to get into AR by buying a nreal air but after a few days thinking about it I saw that it's a gimmick and having a display on your face 24/7 is wrong

     @coolboymew i mean for a high-end and compact thing yes, but we'll see how it goes. Apple's tech feels like they're selling a military prototype and you're paying for their research too, but in the end you'll get fucked in the ass with their proprietary shit

     @coolboymew are those the VR googles or the AR ones? there does seem to be a nascent AR glasses industry, and Apple would want to not get left behind if looking like a nerd wearing delicate, $1000 glasses all of a sudden becomes something large numbers of people want to do.

     @Fuyutsuki no idea, but it's a meme industry that's enduring somehow. But the last thing you want with something this expensive is proprietary shit

     @coolboymew Reminds me of that CBC report a few years back when they put GPS trackers in boxes sent back to Amazon for refunds and most ended up in the garbage.

     @caekislove Oof
     
     Yeah I got real fighty with Amazon at some point because mom ordered a glass food bell? (a dome?), sellers sent it like an asshole and shipped the box directly. Obviously the thing came cracked. I got fighty because they wanted us to ship it back to fucking vegas. Fucking why?
     
     Also their website says it would reimburse the return up to 25$ but it was gonna cost more than that. The supervisor was really fucking belligerent and I did not like that. Told me that "because COVID returns are now higher" and I'm like, why the fuck am I not told this
     
     We did it in the end but what a fucking abject waste of everyone's time

     @caekislove @coolboymew same, mine is in its original box right now. I'd sell it but maybe I need it for work so I keep it just in case. Later my company offered to send me a MacBook, I prefered to stick with my Core 2 Duo ThinkPad so I refused (later they sent me money to buy whatever I liked, so I built a Linux desktop PC)

     @bot @caekislove really good independent repairs can manage
     
     Meanwhile, Apple literally put DRM in their laptop hinge closing mechanism so you can't even repair that without daddy Apple's permission. Having daddy Apple's permission means being signed up as a recognized Apple repair place, and doing so means that Apple forbids you from doing certain repairs, you have to do it their way, with their expensive parts and Apple has to dictate what repairs they allows and which they do not

     @ElDeadKennedy @coolboymew ThinkPads are all I use for work. Powerful enough for anything I need to do for the company, and won't tempt me to install Steam and a bunch of games and shit.
