It does look pretty good but even I, someone that bought a standalone MP3 player in 2018, has no need for one now no matter how full of "universe" inspiration it may be

bring back the cyberpunk future of 2005

there was a stint of red glasses then, too, to similar effect. I remember grabbing a cheap pair from wegmans and trying them on for day-to-day stuff (being a huge loving nerd at my nerd school for nerds.) they did not do much for computer touching or walking places

It's illegal to drive with tinted glasses of any kind in the UK (I guess unless it's medical I guess?) but if you have Cyber Lenses they'll never tell.....

Only super dark shades (3% - 8% light transmission) are banned for drivers, but lighter shades are not allowed for night driving, which sucks for Corey Hart.

I checked with my wife that actually did the tests recently and I'm completely wrong; it's only at night where it's very specific what level of tint you can wear. I'd asked about the ones that filter out some of the blinding lights you get now and she'd said "no it's not allowed any time" but that was just at night and beyond whatever %.

but yes Corey Hart would be arrested

there is finally some "investigation" being done on "maybe we shouldn't let all new cars have retina blastingly bright lights directly at eye level" but I'm not holding out much hope.

my walk from the station has a dip in the road and as cars come up it you get a full power blast in the eyes from the angle and ofc everyone seems to be driving with beams because oh no a tiny bit of darkness between street lights what will we do???

my first car was a gold 740 gl my grandparents gave to me. I delivered pizza in that thing and the hubcaps would roll off like a 70s car chase and I’d have to go hunt them down in the ditches or wherever.

I made a cd player stand and drilled into the floorboard so I could use my tape adapter with it. for a while I had a bagphone with an antenna I had to put onto the roof to make calls and they were really expensive, even for like 1999. not sure the exact model but this is close



poo poo is way more cyberpunk when you have different devices for everything. I hate my phone and that it does everything, I want GADGETS

i like discrete devices when they're things i may be using at the same time like wristwatch and telephone. i have a slight personal bias towards single purpose devices but there are admittedly efficiencies to be gained by combining.
