  • If you haven’t read or looked into this, it feels almost wrong to just boil it down for you.

    Watch one of their stupid commercials about it, then see if it works at all the way they delict it working. It does not. All it is now is a wearable monitor for desktop viewing. Things it does not do while clearly depicted as such:

    • gaming
    • multimedia presentations
    • stream to other headsets
    • have ANY sharable user positioning data (local or GPS)
    • collaboration with other headset owners
    • wireless anything (it’s got a heavy ass battery pack)
    • literally has NONE of the apps that it had depicted it had in some presentations at initial dev announcement (Netflix, YouTube…etc), though they are usable in browser

    Anyway, you get the idea. There’s more, but why bother.



















  • Well, you’re right about the fighting part, but wrong on the attempts.

    Dozens of states tried to pass election integrity bills after the Trump fiasco. Few got it passed due to Republican intervention.

    Same in Congress in both the 117th and 118th. Attempts to make a bipartisan bill always fails because of GOP additions that are absolutely insane.

    The opposite has happened in GOP controlled state sessions in places like Texas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, where bills have been passed that are very obviously skewed towards the GOP controlling the seats, and getting the benefit of either limiting Democrat control directly, or limiting future abilities of such.

    It’s absolutely foul, and though the Democrats are working hard to fight these things, it looks like abject failure before any real attempts can even be made, which voters seem to see as weakness. Maybe that’s just a defeatist point of view though.
