    Meta’s translucent Meta Ray-Bans now come in a crystal-clear colorway.

    Meta already let you see some of its smart glasses circuitry through its orange and blue frames, but now there’s an even clearer version. We already got a few photos of our own in our story about them today.

    Is it... time for me to buy these things?

    Meta says it’s making it easier to beam your Windows desktop to your Quest headset.

    At Meta Connect, CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Quest VR headset users will be able to connect to Windows 11 PCs just by looking at their keyboard — much the same way Apple’s Vision Pro can do that when you look at a MacBook.

    Here’s a gallery of pics from the presentation.

    Meta appears to own Threads dot com now.

    DomainInvesting spotted the Whois-listed change yesterday.

    Last year, threads.com was just the website for a Slack-like app — you can imagine the traffic it got when Meta launched its Twitter alternative. Shopify bought Threads-the-company in June, though, perhaps clearing the way for Meta to scoop the domain for Threads-the-platform. And just in time for its Connect event, no less!
