The BMW of tech. /s
Expected asshole behavior from Meta and zero sympathy to people who buy that trash.
I was about to type pretty much the exact same thing, but I figured it would already be here for me to upvote :)
I wasn’t paying attention when Facebook started ruining technology with bad business decisions but it’s getting old.
I have an oculus VR that’s basically useless now that meta owns the company. They decided to stop updating it, so my 450 dollar bought brand new hoped it would last for life is a paper weight.
Pay wall for already way too expensive and kind of pointless glasses? Like what. Is that how they’re making money now?
androids like zuckerberg are unlikely to have emotions, or humanity.
Techophobia is way too common on lemmy
You’re calling a community that is majority Linux enthusiasts technophobic?
Yes.
technophobia, or dislike of corporations that would kill people if it meant more profit?
Corporations that do kill people because it means more profit*
lmao
Enshitification of shit. They truly are meta.
Nothing fills my heart with such joy as negative Meta headlines.
These mofos watched the failure that was google glass and went for it anyway lol
I am kind of into the idea of having a little screen on the peripheral of my glasses for a heads up display as an interface with my phone. Or even as a full screen mirror for my phone to be able to browse lemmy or watch video while still keeping an eye on my surrounding. I really can’t imagine why they decided they also needed to have it record everyone secretly.
The google glass design was pretty cool, sans camera. Iirc people were modifying them I think? Wonder how hard it would be to remove the camera. Probably soldered directly to the board. You could always try to make your own with some form of transparent screen
Good headline. Didn’t call them “owners”. Because this doesn’t happen to something you own.
Article’s first sentence already fails though.
Jeeezus. Who uses these products? They are cumbersome to begin with, and so much worse with enshittification
So far as i can tell, people who make PoV content, everything from YouTube shop vendors to porn
They seemed reasonable for people that like fishing and the like (ignoring the huge privacy issues).
This bait-and-switch bullshit has gone way too far and I hope the few dozen socialists that get elected this fall really wreck this shit for the billionaires and force regulation.
Good. Perverts.
Ha ha
Usually one would wait til their product take over the market before enshitifying it. For this one, they don’t even have a feasible market. Who am I to judge tho.
Nobody deserves it more
Oh you thought we’d only demand hundreds of bucks for this trash? naw, now you need to pay a subscription fee. Now pay up loser.
GOOD!!! FUCK THESE GLASSES
These should literally exclusively be an aid device for the visually impaired and nothing more.
