In my opinion this statement:

And, in the video you already saw atop this post, XR and AI booster Cix Liv went nearly full Glasshole by walking straight into a San Francisco coffee shop and placing an order, without bothering to hide the cafe’s address.

Immediately followed by this statement:

I spoke to Ray Ng, co-owner of Fiddle Fig Cafe, the coffee shop in question, and he thinks it was just “a stunt for laughs and giggles.” Liv didn’t sit down and drink his coffee with the headset on, says Ng. “They took the set off, sat down, and that was it,” he tells me over the phone. The whole thing was over in “maybe 5 minutes.”

…really exemplifies the entire nonsense tone of this article. What a waste of words they threw together to attempt to …piss people off? Like…what’s the goal, just to hate on people looking different and trying something brand new in public?

Is this the “phones are going to ruin everything” but for a whole new generation all over again?

I have to admit that I never understood the hatred levelled at Google glass. It all seemed rather unobtrusive, but people fucking hated them.

Damn. Can’t wait to lose myself deep in a glasshole…

Seriously, screw these people. Not the people using a neat piece of tech, the idiots so freaked out by a different piece of cool tech that they panic over a vr headset.

Google glasses were fucking awesome conceptually.

I have a quest 3, the pass through doesn't look that good when inside the headset.
