    Good, so we all agree on how not to do AR.

    Meta’s designers promised Fast Company they’re not trying to turn smart glasses into a hellscape of advertising and distraction:

    “We’re all haunted by the Hyper Reality video... And I think that we see it as a huge responsibility. Every pixel that we light up should be worth its weight in gold.”

    If any company were excitedly planning to build that hellscape, it’d be Meta, so I’ll take the win. And if you haven’t watched Hyper-Reality yet, it’s fabulous. And horrifying.

    The big business of going out of business.

    Do not miss the photos of this huge Bay Area warehouse, jam-packed with the remnants of failed tech companies. Fancy office chairs, branded swag, weird new ideas about cubicles, endless rows of phone booths, and more. And most of it’s for sale! It’s like upscale, totally cursed Ikea in there.

    The Madden NFL story is coming to Prime Video.

    Everything about this trailer is geared toward me specifically: the iconic “It’s in the game!” catchphrase, the debates over player ratings, the fact that Madden really has been the same damn game for like 10 years. This doc drops right around Thanksgiving, and even promises to share what’s coming next year. Which I will buy. And be bad at. Just like every year.
