Do you even know what we’re talking about? Have you ever played any of those games, they are very much in the style of what meta where trying to do.

If you took Meta’s description of what the “Metaverse” is and then looked at chatVR it’s basically the same product.

Sure they do.

Don’t worry I’m not going to explain why that makes zero sense, you can keep wearing your fetching tin foil hat.

Those are two different things. Tracking the location via cell network just gives an approximate location, anywhere within the cell towers reception area. GPS data doesn’t get shared with anyone unless you choose to share it.

If companies want your GPS data then you have to share it with them.

ChatVR, RecRoom, Roblox, BattleBit, Project Loom (Which Google killed for no reason, but it wasn’t because of lack of success), and of course the OG, Second Life.

Hell you could even make the arguement for Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen if they ever finish it.

Some of those projects haven’t just been successful they’re so successful that they are starting to affect government policy.

Do you not have a temperature dial on your shower that lets you control this directly? If I feel like I need to burn my skin off I can turn the temperature all the way up and have 100% hot water.

It’s not like the direction it’s pointed and the direction it goes have any bearing on each other.

It’s so you can get a nice wet spot on the floor for that maximum bathroom aesthetic.

My man what are you on they sold out to Meta, they 100% knew what they were getting into, and have been well compensated for it.

Clearly the idea isn’t done because there are other versions of the metaverse that work very well and are making money.

I mean there’s always be vrchat, Which is basically what meta was trained to do but actually works.

Well they gave it their best shot. It was literally impossible for them to have produced a more compelling product. That would have required skill and talent

They’re really doubling down on this narrative of “this technology we’re making is going to kill us all, it’s that awesome, come on guys use it more”

Good maybe people will stop using it then. What am I saying they bought a Tesla of course they’re going to keep using it.

It’s IKEA so like 90% of their product it’s probably a random small table for some reason everybody seems to need.

I just want Starks phone in the first Iron Man movie (I don’t think it was ever a real product) but as a modern smart phone.

I have this issue with my soundbar on my TV. The volume has to be like 95% or it’s too quiet. But if you disconnect the soundbar and just use the TV speakers you get absolutely blasted out of the room by normal speech.

Measuring sound as percentages is meaningless.

In a house.

Nope. I’ve just turned my volume up to max settings and then kept my finger on the button nothing comes up it just stops increasing in volume.

I feel left out, like Android doesn’t care about me.

I think people’s biggest fear with paying for the apps is that they’ll end up in a situation where they are just throwing good money after bad and not getting anything for it. Then you get into the sunk cost fallacy and it’s really difficult to get yourself out of that headspace.

The problem is the apps say that they have recommendations that you only have to pay to unlock but I don’t believe them.

Yeah and they all suck as a result.

I keep meaning to have a proper look into it and see if there are any actual dating site / apps that are independent. It’s a massive pain because usually you can’t really tell if an app is going to be any good or if it’s just another clone until after you’ve already signed up. It’s quite the time investment.
