Stadia is good from a tech standpoint, the only problem was it was run by google
Comment on Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses Users Film and Harass Massage Parlor Workers
TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoMy father and my brother in law both use them.
My BIL has a degenerative eye disease so this kind of technology could very well absolutely assist him in the not so far future. But my dad is just an absolute whore for bleeding edge consumer tech.
He also bought into Google Stadia for example.

- jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 day ago- How are the glasses helping your brother? Do they allow him to read at distances, like street signs, or restaurant overhead menus? - I also have vision issues, and this type of technology has so much potential to help, but that’s never the focus for the tech bros, so they never deliver on their potential to help people. - TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago- Texted my sister! - So apparently he hasn’t replaced them yet and they are still broken. - They are VERY much still in an alpha state it seems. - My sister has a hope that they will be good at reading text or helping identify people later on in the technology but are still very much a WIP for a vision impaired tool. - jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 day ago- Yeah. Thanks for the reply. Google glass had so much potential to help people like 10 years ago. But it was just tech bro bullshit and people making amateur porn. Sadly this time, I suspect it will be the same thing all over again. - I hope it helps your brother. 
 
- TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago- I’ll try and ask him about it. - I’ll be seeing him this weekend so I’ll try and lowkey ask him. It’s a somewhat recent diagnosis but I also know he broke his glasses swimming at the beach this past summer.

How does a massage parlour help with your brother’s eye issues?

It’s the only way to relax the eye socket :P
