Meta Oakley Vanguard Hands-On: Time to Yee-Haw!

gizmodo.com James Pero Thu, 18 Sep 2025 15:52:28 +0000

As much as we don’t want to admit it, we’re all superficial to a certain extent. Fashion is perfect proof of that. Do you have any logical reason to judge someone for the things they wear on their body? Not really, but also, that’s not accurate all the time. For example, when people look at me, they probably think “pretentious millennial hipster from Brooklyn.” First of all, rude! Second of all, that’s actually pretty accurate. But my style choices, if highly clockable, aren’t even the most bom

If your home is your temple—the last place where you can escape the blasted outside landscape of billboards, screen ads, bus ads, train ads, and TV ads—know that the Mongol horde of advertising is looking to break down your fortress walls. Samsung’s new agenda for its smart home includes sticking ads into its ultra-expensive refrigerators with screens. Don’t worry, you can dismiss some of those ads, but the only way to get rid of them completely is to disconnect your fridge from the internet. A

The 2-year-old Meta Ray-Bans, which currently top my list of the best smart glasses, have been a pretty great everyday pair of smart glasses for me, except for when the battery runs out. Which happens often. But that may not be happening as much anymore with Meta Ray-Bans Gen 2, which Meta announced on Wednesday. They're available immediately for $379, which is $80 more than the originals, but they promise twice the battery life and improved images from the built-in camera. Meta's got some AI

For nearly 11 years, Hack Club - a nonprofit that provides coding education and community to teenagers worldwide - has used Slack as the tool for communication. We weren’t freeloaders. A few years ago, when Slack transitioned us from their free nonprofit plan to a $5,000/year arrangement, we happily paid. It was reasonable, and we valued the service they provided to our community. However, two days ago, Slack reached out to us and said that if we don’t agree to pay an extra $50k this week and $

Boring is good

The initial, feverish enthusiasm for large language models (LLMs) is beginning to cool, and for good reason. It’s time to trade the out-of-control hype for a more pragmatic, even “boring,” approach. A recent MIT report shows that 95% of companies implementing this technology have yet to see a positive outcome. It’s understandable to feel confused. When I get confused, I write. This is why I wrote the first part of this series, Hype is a Business Tool as the online debate had become so overheate
