We lost something as a county when we stopped building cyberpunk nexus pyramids to physically embody the soul and charm of our beloved megacorporations.


Short answer: No, this is not an issue. The FDA’s medical device regulations are not conducive to targeted advertising/data sharing/moving fast and breaking things. Data collected would be de-facto PHI, so it’s more liability than utility.
Meta want you to record things with the glasses to upload to Facebook. People who make DME firmware do not.


You are sitting behind a receptionist’s desk with three coworkers. You need to check people into your office for visits.
Because there are four of you, and people are generally good about queuing, your normal operations run smoothly.
Now fifty people walk into the building at once. They don’t really care about checking in, or even visiting the office. They want to know if you have free coffee, a public bathroom, your elevator inspection on file, the date of your last fire inspection, and dozens more inane questions that aren’t what you’re used to handling. They refuse to wait in a line, they’re talking over one another, and if you take more than ten seconds to answer, they walk out of the building but come back to bother you a few minutes later.
Does your office run well, and can you check in a legitimate visitor in a timely manner still?

I’ve happily used the same wired, over-ear Sennheisers as my daily drivers for 15 years, but tried switching over to Sennheiser’s wireless noise-canceling line a few years ago. Horrible mistake: the sound quality was acceptable but the firmware, the fit, and the ANC were atrocious.
Couldn’t believe the two products were made by the same company.
