Agreed, but they have some amazing hacks using older architectures. They do produce motherboards and other components though so it’s still surprising they are using a dell.

I think this is mostly because movies are not really a shared experience any longer. The closest I’ve had recently to a cinema experience that you wouldn’t be able to replicate at home was the end of Infinity War. Sure if you had a heap of friends over it might be close but the underlying feeling of dread, sadness, anger and confusion could be felt as you were leaving the cinema made it worth it imo.

I’m hoping Doomsday will be similar in the way it handles things but if it pulls another Force Awakens I’m gonna be annoyed.

The amount of lead exposure during your life would also contribute to this I feel, we are fucked until money gets out of politics as it seems it’s currently a DEI for older/damaged folk. Why do people have to have a fitness test to go and die but our people in charge don’t even have to have a physical in most cases.

Aussie here, I don’t think that this is a bad move at all. The meta glasses are at a price point that makes them rarely seen in the wild, however Kmart (yes it still exists here, but different owners) has recently had a sale of $20 “recording glasses” that can easily have their recording LED turned off and with a few modifications you wouldn’t even know they had a camera.

I can understand them doing this in government facilities, as some won’t even allow you to have your phone in certain spaces.

I do think with tigher guardrails (detection of environments, like if a set of meta glasses enter a restroom or what looks like a restroom it should disable recording entirely.) it could be allowed but we really don’t need to encourage kids that secret recordings are ok.
