I always find this interesting. It seems that some people have constant issues (headphones, earphones, mice, …), like my wife, and some people never have any issues, like me.
Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete

Oh I remember this bullshit. I remember when headphones used to just work. Now they take 10+ minutes of my day troubleshooting the connection, battery, pairing, etc. to listen to music which I now rent but used to own on a stereo which didn’t surveil me and sell my data. NOW your telling me I can go FUCK MYSELF with new techbro glasses? SIGN ME UP!

I’m with you here, I keep it all simple and connect headphones, earphones, mice, … with a cable and it all just works all the time. No batteries to recharge. No pairing to redo. I can’t even imagine how this could possibly fail.

I understand your sentiment as I am annoyed by similar issues. But the wireless in ear headphones also changed a lot how we use them. I guess it’s similar for glasses. People will appreciate the auto focus but will inevitably complain if batteries run out or glasses malfunction.

The monthly payment for your ‘auto-focus tier 2’ plan is due. Failure to submit will result in immediate suspension of the total bullshit you signed up for.

Why do your headphones have battery!?

Ah, OK, I know that Apple tries to sell people wireless headphones that need to be recharged, you’re perfectly right that this is ridiculous.

My Bose noise canceling headphones do not allow noise canceling when you use the audio jack, only for Bluetooth. It's maddening. Found this out on a plane when it was too late to do anything about it.

There’s nothing about a subscription in here, and there’s no need for an internet connection. Sensors just watch how your eyes are trying to focus and adjust the metal lens that’s sandwiched between the glass parts.
