A guy I went to HS with did it in '05 on Halloween. Ironically also dressed as 50 cent which is supposedly what this guy was going for (the guy from my HS pulled it off way better tank top, bulletproof vest, doo rag and in shape vs whatever this guy was going for) The kid was fairly popular, and had a lot of black friends that gave him the OK to do it. No one really cared. If anything people couldn’t believe it was him because he pulled it off so well. That guy can never get into politics now though, as I’m sure someone would dig up that photo.

I was at that one too. Good times

Hey member that guy who bribed Clarence Thomas? He owns Real Page. Nothing to see here folks.

I was at that free Ozzfest. Shit was sick AF. How were they even making money? Merch and booze sales?

I saw Van Halen with David Lee Roth on their first time touring in like 20 years or something. I paid $25 and this was I wanna say '07 ish?

Scott Stapp was able to escape the government agents that were trying to hunt him down to make this fine film?!

I set up Amazon Echo buds recently. I have no desire to use any of the Alexa crap on them and just wanted cheap, decent noise cancelling Bluetooth earbuds on prime day. You apparently can’t set them up without the Alexa app and like all the permissions. I downloaded it on an old phone that’s practically blank, set up the buds, and deleted the app. Once it’s set up you can use like regular Bluetooth earbuds. They wanted location all the time and a few others (microphone maybe?). Selecting only allow this time wouldn’t even work. I get it Bezos, u want my data, but fuck off u aren’t getting it.

We stayed at an Airbnb in Croatia probably 10 years ago. One night out friend got too drunk and crashed with us. The dude said he heard from the old ladies that there was another person with us one of the nights. I always wondered if that was the case or if he had a hidden camera, but cameras weren’t as ubiquitous then as they are now. Nosey ass old ladies.

This is my go to. Just swear at it til I get someone

Wrong. They’re all pokey man.

It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a dumb idea. I get that this is the AAPL fanboi zone but ffs this thing dropped to 0 fanfare. It’s a dud.

You could do the virtual theater thing with your phone and Google Daydream like 8 years ago. It sucked then, and it’s no different now. Gimmicky tech is all it is. Unless they drop a true game changing VR game or something, it’s gonna join the club with meta quest and the rest of VR / AR devices. People will use it a handful of times thinking eh that’s kinda cool, then put it in a drawer to let it collect dust. I’ll happily eat my words if im wrong in 5 years, but I sincerely doubt these will take off. Apple is not going to drop price. Look at iPhone, they only ever went up in price.

A lot of developers bought Google glass too. It’s a stupid product with no use case.

I’m sure all 3 people that bought one of these POS’s are elated to know that it will work better with Spotify playing in the background.

Also not the shitty suburb of San Jose / Oakland Fremont either apparently.

That’s a deep cut Mr Segal.

Maybe we can start a change.org petition to get this resolved.

Yes, it has.
