Ugly truth is that new people don’t have the job security to just not come int the office despite being told to. I’m guilty of this.

I’ve been at my job for over 4 years as a senior level engineer. They’ve tried to tell me to come into the office so many times but all of us collectively go “nah”. I go in for about 4 hours a week even tho they expect me to be in like 2 or 3 days a week.

It’s kind of like drug tests. The company has policies cause they need to be compliant with federal laws but they know they’d lose people who can’t be readily replaced if they ever actually did tests. They can’t afford to shake that tree

Ngl, the textured glass option sings a siren song for me but scared to know how much that costs on the 13”

I don’t often actively root for tech to fail. Even if it’s something g dumb, it can pave the road for something down the road. However, I’m here for the failure of this because it’s been so nebulous.

I don’t know how to explain it, but this kind of feels like when people were trying to make products where the main hook was blockchain and they seemed to have worked backwards from the tech to a product to the problem being the last thing considered.

As far as I can tell, the only advantage this thing has that a smarter smart watch can provide is taking photos and videos. So maybe there is something there that is worth exploring. Who knows, maybe if apple or Google released this with robust integration and a reasonable price, maybe it could have some potential to have a use case. Maybe GoPro might want to explore the form factor? All that said, none of the things that I think have potential has nothing to do with AI which is what they think is feature #1.

This guy comes across to me as someone with major new guy syndrome. Saw and heard things but lacked the technical knowledge and context to be able to actually understand what it was.

So nothing much

If this is real, the real reason they did this was to give people with a predisposition to phychosis a push over the edge.

the seller kept replying

Did we read the same conversation? I don’t think a question mark and a simple clarification counts as “keeping replying”

I had an og Dell Streak when it first came out. It absolutely blew people’s minds when they saw it back then.

Looked up some old reviews of it and can’t beleive it was a 5" screen. In my mind, I remember it being so much bigger.

I imagine they feel like “man, I really need to turn to goo” in the same way we are like “man, I really gotta take a shit”
