I think the Quest Pro feels clunkier and is harder to adjust than the HoloLens. I have a big head, and I’ve struggled to adjust the front dial while the device is on my head.
The Hololens also has a top head strap that makes the weight more evenly distributed for longer use which the Quest Pro does not.
I’m not a huge fan of the Quest Pro to be honest

Or because the Saudis trade their oil in US dollars instead of chinese yuan?

I’ve been enjoying the comfort upgrades on the Quest Pro which I hear is similar to the feel of the HoloLens design.

The HoloLens is actually very comfortable. I regularly wear it for 2-3 hours at a time. Battery life is usually the limiter there, not comfort. It’s not like wearing a VR headset, where there is a lot of pressure on your face and the screens cause a lot of eye fatigue. The Hololens is also a visor on a swivel so you can “get out of mixed reality” very quickly.
I don’t use Magic Leap, mostly because it requires a puck with a cable and a controller which don’t work for the use cases at my job. But it is used for surgery in China, and surgeons would never wear it if it wasn’t comfortable for multiple hours. Magic Leap 2 also has the best field of view of any mixed reality headset

Pretty much every country in that region needs to be isolated.
Will never happen though. After seeing Qatar and the World Cup. I’ve learned our species will always do what’s fun over what’s right.

Headline is a tad misleading. One reading is that hackers did in fact use Google home speakers to snoop on conversations. When what it is really saying is that there was a flaw that allowed hackers to snoop on conversations, had any of them known about it.
Two wildly different interpretations.

This message was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (and possibly a bit of mob money).

Back pats... sounds like you know NY politics! I know I do, living on the "long" island for 46 years. On our way to VA shortly, where I still have the right to protect myself and those I love!

I thought ML1 and ML2 are some of the "comfiest" looking HMDs in the AR space. However yeah still not ideal for long term use.
Have you gotten to try a ML headset before?

8+ previous owner, lasted me until early November. Loved that phone, only changed it because it was lacking in the core phone stuff as I couldn’t video chat as it restart due to getting hot, stutter, gps would crap put when i was driving and could not hear people properly in calls sometimes.

how about just not making a new phone every year with tiny differences to the last one so the people addicted to having the latest Iphones stop trying to buy them all the time. Try making them so they last as we're supposed to be trying to avoid this throwaway culture but if new ones come out every year, you encourage it

Let's put aside the legal ramifications and talk practicality. Think about the sheer volume of data produced. Hours of audio per day, per device. Add that to what they already collect and even a tech giant like Google would have a hard time handling it. There's an entire school of thought dedicated to producing and handing over garbage data just to screw with anyone who looks at it.
