  • They have mics, cameras and speakers in them with an AI that interjects on its own and spies on all your apps.

    I wasn’t going to buy them before I read the article, but I’m certainly not interested now.

    I like the idea of AR as an aid for disabilities or in certain practical applications in science and industry but they aren’t marketing this to warehouses, nuclear plants, or automotive assemblers. They’re marketing it to influencers and randos. No thanks.



  • I’ve done that to for a similar job and honestly there’s not much difference as far as rest or relaxation is concerned. At best I can say having the extra week day for appointments is one of the few up sides of 4/10’s.

    The extra time per week spent in traffic for a shorter day has its down sides too and they equal out in my experience.

    Less frustration in traffic, more frustration from not having the time to come to a more natural stopping point or finish bigger projects. It’s a crapshoot either way.

    This is why I mentioned shorter work weeks with less hours and the same pay. That might have more pros than cons.

    I’ve worked 4/10’s, 9/80’s, 5/10’s, 5/8’'s and even 6/12’s. That’s not even counting the military. 9/80’s was sort of better in a way especially in conjunction with federal holidays, but even then traffic was a nightmare. Public transit would have been even worse.
