Oh, the many months of testing Chicago, the beta for Windows 95. So many weird problems. And not long after when does 95 came out, Nashville started testing, which would’ve been Windows 96 or 97. But it was shelved for Memphis, which became Windows 98.

But, yeah, to most people, they would just appear to be regular sunglasses. This is a huge problem. It’s one thing when you’re being recorded by someone who is obviously holding a camera. It’s another one when, potentially, dozens of people around you could be recording everything all the time without anyone else, knowing it.
Not only is a potential for abuse incredibly high, the fact that Meta ends up owning all of the content so they can harvest it for monetary gain is even worse.

I imagine that a majority of people will feel this way, especially when they are more privacy invasive than Google glass ever was.
Also, people are much more privacy focused than they were 15 years ago. I can imagine there will be significant pushback to wearing these glasses anywhere but in open, public spaces. Private establishments will likely ban them.

floo@retrolemmy.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Harvard dropouts to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversationEnglish47·10 hours agoI remember when Google glass came out. I was living in New York, and almost every single establishment banned them nearly immediately. You wouldn’t be allowed in if you were wearing them, and if anyone saw you put them on, you get kicked out. No questions.
This happened in a lot of places, as I recall.

The operating system is free. Your decision to buy other stuff has nothing to do with the cost of macOS.
I’m sorry you simply can’t understand this. Sadly, you clearly can’t let this go, so I’m just gonna block you.
macOS is free. Get over it.

I used to live in New York, where I could take the subway everywhere. When I moved to Orlando, including the cost of a car, my cost of living tripled. Living in New York was cheaper.

floo@retrolemmy.comto Technology@lemmy.world•7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for LinuxEnglish14·2 days agoAll operating system systems have hardware requirements. Just because you need to upgrade your system in order to get the latest operating system, doesn’t make the operating system any less free.
You are manufacturing connections that aren’t there in assigning meaning whether there isn’t any just cause you refuse to admit the fact that macOS is free. I guess you just hate Apple that much, but I try not to get so emotionally involved
Repeating the same absurd argument over and over doesn’t make it any more true.
floo@retrolemmy.comto Technology@lemmy.world•7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for LinuxEnglish13·2 days agoAFAIK manufacturers don’t have to pay for Linux And if MacOS is really free you would be able to manufacture and sell devices using it but there is not a single one
That’s not what free means here. “Free“ as in costs no money for the user. Can download and install it without having to pay for it. Because it is free. You’re using the word “free” to means something obviously different than what I’m talking about.
MacOS is free just like Windows is free (the license is included in your purchase of the hardware). Except windows isn’t free. It cost is enumerated on the invoice. macOS is not. Because it is free.
So yeah idk
Obviously, you don’t know because you keep saying things that are very, obviously not true. Are you feeling OK?
Jurassic Park. The original was a horror/thriller that would have had to be unrated if they made it literally from the book. Instead, we got a PG-13 family film that really did not live up to the book.
In fact, it’s the first time that I read the book before seeing the movie, and I learned to never ever do that again.
