Farmer Crack-rear end posted:later in life he blew over ten grand on attempting to have a machine shop fabricate the frame of a 1/3-rd scale steam locomotive, lied to my mom about it and said we didn't have money for school supplies that year, and one night got loaded on a couple six packs of beer with a shotgun at his side to "protect [him] from [us]" tbf you took his money, his health, his relationship with your mom, his sleep, his sanity; not entirely baseless to think youd finish the job but really the appropriate time for protection was long before that

Does anyone have a good article on HoloLens? Has anyone who is not Microsoft's making poo poo up department actually seen or used one? Because I find it incredibly hard to believe that it does object recognition and AR as well as they seem to claim it does.

advertising companies would jizz themselves to death if people started commonly using hardware with built in eye tracking and Microsoft or Google's permissive attitude towards letting programs do whatever the gently caress sort of data collection you can get a customer to agree to in a eula.
