Stud finders cost like $8, you can probably get a shitty level for the same price, sometimes I just measure from the ground and mark two points with a pencil.

No shit.

But those are basically the use-cases for augmented reality.

I was posting pre coffee, Iโ€™m sorry. your phrase was great. We are on the same page.

The best things people can come up with for the $3500 headset that had millions spent on research.. is.. maybe $20 of stuff.

The tech is Neat, but itโ€™s really only good for entertainment.

I like that a lot of new products now are just inferior, outrageously expensive versions of things that have worked fine for decades or even centuries.

it's the whole tech foward thing that has gripped many people, where they assume more tech = more better

There's very, very good applications for tech, I ain't exactly conservative about this, but so much of it is just applying computer to problem thats easily solved without computer

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
