You know, it's sad that we get this sort of deal. When I was kid, I wanted cool glasses that you see in movies where it could highlight people, see their conversations, translate in real time, see maps, etc.

Augmented Reality has so much potential as tools for everyone.

But now, as adult I know it's just surveillance tools. Fuck corporations.

    Its crazy cuz this would have never happened if they continued educating Gen Z/Alpha on computer basics like they did Millenials. But now kids in school don't understand anything about computers because they only have ever used apps. I have a buddy that teaches a highschool computer elective and he spends his first class explaining files, folders, and basic computer functions.

    Tin foil hat time: The 'assumption' that internet-natives like GenZ would pick up where millennials left off, was in fact a deliberate dereliction.

    Right?! This stuff could be so powerful and useful, but instead everything needs to connect to some fucking cloud. If we had any data sovereignty, we could have all the cool stuff. Local processing with local data. No uploading.
