Apple has been working on a cheaper version of its Vision Pro headset, but is no w said to be shifting resources to wok on smart glasses to compete with Meta's. The first could be audio-only glasses set to launch in 2027, followed in 2028 with a version that has a display. #Apple #VR #AR #SmartGlasses #AppleVisionPro https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-01/apple-shelves-vision-headset-revamp-to-prioritize-meta-like-ai-smart-glasses

Ugh, everytime new #SmartGlasses are presented masses of people are crooning how absolutely cool that is. Think about it a bit more, folks, I'd say.

The moment smart glasses become well accepted and pervasive in society, is the moment we know that shite really hit the fan, and we are deep in dystopia.

It is not unthinkable we get a high adoption rate, if those #AR info overlays provide real use to people.

Compare to driving from A to B which hardly anyone can do anymore withouth #Google Maps.

I never did a pinned intro post, so: Started in #radio 30 years ago, which transitioned to #podcast 20 years ago. “Mac OS Ken” focuses on Apple News. “The Checklist by #SecureMac” focuses on security. Did a show about #StarTrek, until the people who owned it wouldn’t pay a decent wage (no fooling). These days, all I REALLY want to talk about are #bookbinding, #fountainpens, #postcards, and #stationery. Well… and #VR. And #AR. And #Apple and #podcasting and radio.

Oh. And fuck the fascists.
