Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses sales triple as EssilorLuxottica doubles down on wearables

EssilorLuxottica, Meta’s partner in the smart glasses market and owner of brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley, just reported stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue, driven in part by rising demand for the Ray-Ban Meta. Here’s the breakdown. In its quarterly results, EssilorLuxottica reported a 7.3% revenue increase, beating a Bloomberg-compiled analyst estimate of 5.9%. It is worth mentioning that at current exchange rates, however, revenue rose by just 3.2%, reflecting the impact of a stronger

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-24 02:08:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux. This distribution was created and maintained by an individual to be an Arch-based Linux distribution that's simple t

Ask anyone who’s familiar with EV startups what Faraday Future is, and words like vaporware or severely delayed might come to mind. That’s because, in the brand’s 11-year existence, it has seemingly overpromised and under-delivered on nearly everything it has ever announced. As reported by Autoweek, it has sold less than 20 of its luxury FF 91 full-size EVs since it debuted two years ago — mostly to investors and celebrity influencers.

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, there was really only one way to install an application.
