@EvanAdamson_ @maximzhestkov @fun_and_awe It’s a UNIX system!

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@maximzhestkov @nars64 @fun_and_awe But… but… I want to interact with virtual things in the real world. 🥺 And physical things seemingly imbued with smart interactive properties without embedding hardware into them.

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@aeonvex @caydengineer Yup. I find the Facebook ecosystem scarier, but don’t read or write (or speak much) Chinese. Was debating between Quark and @inmoxreality Go 3 (hey guys!) yesterday for an 11.11 purchase. The Quark glasses are crazy, but I went with the INMO. Maybe get to beta an English UX. 😅

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@aeonvex @caydengineer INMO Go 3 has the detachable stem battery and boots back up in 2 seconds, but the new Alibaba Quark glasses are the first ones with the built-in aux battery (as you describe) that keeps them live during a hot swap.

@liminalMarch @werstnameYT @SadlyItsBradley It’s Brad. His claims don’t need verification. What rock have you been under? 🙄

@CabodelS @kylegriffin1 How so? What’d he do?

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@cixliv @rek Nice choice of head configuration. I too am a fan of face-mounted quadcopter blades. 🤭

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@cixliv @rek Oh snap. I saw this going viral while scrolling WeChat Channels, totally didn’t make the connection that it was you, and was like “I hope nothing crazy happens with Cix’s bot!” Derp. That’s fuckin’ wild, man. 😱

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@wmhuo168 Having just discovered you, I’m enjoying and agreeing with a lot of your takes. Even as a functionally illiterate person effectively living on an alien planet (I mean, I read Caixin and know people), the truth is self-evident. But… Palantir (who terrify me). Just sayin’.

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@afoxdesign Anyway, I think they’re actually a cool design.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@afoxdesign I rock Clifden. Okay… pretty decent knockoffs. Love the design, and my fake ones meant that, when I was going through a post-divorce bad behavior phase, losing a pair while sloshed was no big deal. That happened a couple of times. 😅 But really, they’re badass.

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@fishPointer LIKEWISE!!!

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@afoxdesign Oh wait… Facebook is actually using a Clifden adjacent design for their new facecams? Huh.

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@broodsugar Huaqiangbei. Gimme another week or so.

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

Anyway… still here doing my thing, such as it is. 😅

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@seeedstudio @IMtechiesms And sorry for being rude @IMtechiesms. Just that if Seeed was going to do an airmouse project, it’s absurd that I’m not the first person that they would talk to.

[Noah Zerkin 🥽 @noazark]

@seeedstudio @IMtechiesms Also pretty sure that, by volume, mine is as small. Yes, it does require the use of the accelerometer. And no, you don’t need an Invensense DMP or BNO055 or anything. It’s actually a pretty lightweight bit of code.
