He's 26. Apple offered him $8.4 million for the tongue-controlled retainer he 3D-prints in a San Diego apartment on a $180 Prusa. He said no
The retainer sits inside your mouth like an Invisalign tray. Inside it: a miniature accelerometer array wired to a Bluetooth LE chip, all encapsulated in medical-grade epoxy he sources from a Kearny Mesa dental supply company for $28 a bottle. It reads tongue and bite pressure patterns at 240 samples per second, translates them into cursor movements and click gestures, and streams the output to any device paired over Bluetooth. Total hardware cost per unit: $47. He wears his own retainer eleven hours a day and hasn't touched a mouse in six months
He posted a demo video to Reddit r/AssistiveTech in October showing a full 47-minute Cursor coding session controlled entirely with his tongue and bite gestures. The post hit the front page in nine hours. An Apple Accessibility engineer found it through a Hacker News crosspost three days later. Tim Cook quote-tweeted the demo the following Wednesday - called it "the accessibility hardware Vision Pro should have shipped with." Apple's business development team wired an $8.4 million acquisition offer to his lawyer in November for the retainer design, the embedded firmware, and a three-year exclusivity contract that would make Apple the only distributor globally. He declined the offer in December. His public statement was seven words: "This should be open. Everyone needs it." He open-sourced the firmware and STL files on GitHub the same day
Apple Vision Pro burned $3.5 billion in R&D on the premise that spatial computing input requires their proprietary hand-tracking silicon and their multi-year hardware roadmap. Neuralink raised at $2 billion on the same premise for neural implants. Tobii runs at $340 million selling eye-tracking hardware to accessibility clinics at $12,000 per unit. He runs a Prusa in a San Diego apartment printing a $47 retainer that a nine-year-old with cerebral palsy in Argentina downloaded and printed at her local library last week
So they banned Chinese electric vehicles in USA
But they allowed Waymo to import them and use their cheaper electric cars for an exorbitant taxi service meanwhile the Americans donβt get to buy cheaper electric vehicles
Peak capitalism
They hate you so much they don't want you in their country.
They cancel 99% of your visa applications and force you to pay $20,000 for the "privilege" of visiting.
They call you a third worlder. A low IQ African.
And yet, surprisingly after all this humiliation, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build the world's largest consulate on your soil!
A place that they didn't born you well to go with 2km of.
In. Your. Own. Fucking. Land.
Are we slaves now?
You tell us not to come to your country and erect a $20,000 wall.
But you come to my home and build a military base... The world's largest... To oppress my people.
After admitting on camera to funding Boko Haram and God knows how many groups.

π¨ Special Judge Susan Worthington and Judge Michael Kulling let Jesse Butler walk free after he brutally raped and strangled two girls.
One of the victims needed neck surgery.
Butler faced up to 78 years.
Instead, he got a rehabilitation plan and walked free without serving a single day in prison.
The case was dismissed.
Oklahoma β¦. You have a problem. Remove these Judges
I say this every time.
I need women to realise you arenβt special in the patriarchy.
The fact that you havenβt been assaulted yet, doesnβt mean other women did something wrong.
You are just LUCKY
The other day when I said Nigerians are a very low IQ people, some people came for me. Is this not evidence of a low IQ population?
The fact that there are some brilliant Nigerians pulling their weight around the world does not negate the fact that the large majority of the populace in Nigeria are either plain stupid or educated and still stupid.
There are just too many low-IQ people roaming around, and any real change has to start with mass education and enlightenment.ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

Joe Feltz has died at the age of 40.
Joe had been collecting rare, sacred, hidden & last editions of old & ancient books & was in the process of scanning & uploading them as a free source on the internet.
Joe has been found dead, the cause of death has not yet been released.
Some of the books included original Masonic books & bibles, The 1812 Bible (including the Book of Esdras, Wisdom of Solomon, Apocrypha, and Psalms), The Lost Books of the Bible, Conversations on the Bible, Encyclopaedia of Witchcraft & Demonology (chronicling the inquisitions & Salem witch trials), Ancient Magic & Magnetism & much more.
Many of these books showed many inconsistencies with the modern version of history & exposed many hidden secrets.
Joe was also created free blueprints & online design tools to help his audience build their own off-grid power systems without expensive corporate costs & with free energy.
R.I.P & Fly High Joe π€ποΈ
while this obvious rage-bait, Iβll just debunk because there are millions of rxtarded persons like him who would peddle this lie.
