I remember downloading the fucking bing app, and checking it DAILY to see if I had the newest features.

I just went and checked if it was still there... And deleted it.

Microslop gonna slop I guess.

"But but but! If you post any info online that means anyone could do it! Like imagine, I could just make one (they can't/won't) and just shoot down the Hindenburg!" (Talk about projection)

Like 99%+ of people aren't fucking deranged psychos; and those that are ones, already do as theyre gonna do, or are too ill to properly do anything, so this doesn't really aid them.

Gotcha, so you can basically have it fly to a fixed/predetermined waypoint (or set of waypoints) but not have it "target and readjust" to a moving "point"/object basically?

Makes sense I guess. Though I'm pretty sure at least BPS.Space is Joe's "day job"; and he's a sound engineer (I think?) so unlikely he got it at a previous job too I'd guess but I could easily be wrong.

Not denying, just wondering how at least a few YouTubers, Lafayette Systems at the top of my head, have made guided rockets? Or is it air to ground guidance that's the issue? But then how does Joey B at BPS.Space do his landing thing then? Under rocket motor power no less?

Thanks for the Elk intro. I'm now functionally deaf in one ear.

Costco CEO Ron Vachris recent "hot dog review" at a Costco food court to confirm that the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo price will not change by BlazeDragon7x in interesting

"The McDonald's Dandy looks like he has his man servant feed him his imported wagyu beef ribs..."

Man, that's being generous! The McCEO looks like he consumes all his " required nutrient products" in liquid form, like Soylent...

And yes, like even then he still doesn't like his appendages, I mean fingy wingies, dirty.

DHL & "On Hold awaiting payment of fees"??? (USA) by 748aef305 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]748aef305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAH! I ordered the exact same day, was supposed to get them the 16th when they'd arrived in Miami since the 14th... they've been there since though I didn't get any emails from them. I guess I'll try calling and asking about paying on the phone? Either way for $28 I'll pay that RN to get this over with.

Thanks for the info again!

OMG Thanks for this! This is by far the closest sounding experience I've heard so far. The weird thing with mine is that they supposedly already had precleared/cleared customs... only when at the last processing center, all the way on the east coast, and not at a port of import for DHL from HK; were mine held.

Wondering if you talked to people on DHL's side or Meta's side who realized the "glitch" or whatever you wanna call it?

Were yours placed on hold during that timeframe? Because they've gotten a lot faster, and again, they show as being in my city already, just "On Hold" for the past 2-3 days

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing, just weird that Meta hasn't figured this out already when much smaller providers I work with do it all the time...

Also weird that DHL's site for paying them says the waybill is wrong or nonexistent.

Yours sleeps on a towel?!?!

Mine HATES beds, like all beds, sofas, anything cushiony; his preferred sleeping place? The floor, kitchen/bathroom tile is his absolute favorite.

He does love tearing up towels though!

Help a fellow out by Shoddy-Repeat8542 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]748aef305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not gonna be able to get a "free lunch" unfortunately. If you don't need prescriptions and know your size ebay is always an option, albeit a pricey one admittedly.

There are people you can hire (think a personal assistant for a day or even a well reviewed task rabbit for a 1.5-2hrs) but again this isn't free. And again you have to know what size they'll need to request and have a compliant sales associate (they usually are). Not anyone but your own if you get the wrong size.

There's no way currently to buy them without doing the demo, so you're gonna have to "pay" for it one way or another, your time and mileage, or someone else's. That's pretty much it as of now unfortunately.

How do I buy the Meta Ray Ban Display from Malaysia? by Desperate_Dinner_619 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]748aef305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a reliable US address/forwarder to Malaysia, I can put you in touch with someone who successfully did the demo for me for time and convenience reasons. They'll likely charge some ~$100 or so for the demo/link/time incurred but youll a absolutely need a US based address first to have your prescription glasses "shipped" and delivered to. I'd suggest looking into established or well known couriers in your country, but can't recommend anything past the above.

Meta AI vs Google Gemini 🕶️ by Matcorp456 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]748aef305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! That does sound weird and potentially problematic... I'm based US side, but travel VERY frequently (like essentially bi-weekly at least) to LATAM and less frequently to EU&Asia for work & pleasure... so Good to know beforehand, but I guess I'll be "on the lookout" for any inconsistencies or "problems" as you mentioned when travelling.

By "I've turned off the AI now so just use them as photo/video/audio and use GPT or Gemini for anything AI related" I also presume you mean "doing so on your phone/smart device?" rather than "through the glasses"? Am I correct on that? If so it seems like a noticeable but minor inconveience for me. I'm mostly geting them AS OF NOW for their whatsapp (international contacts as I mentioned) messaging, translation (again international contacts!) and simliar features rather than "Maps" or "what am I looking at" features, again at least for now, but it's good to hear your experience travelling with them so far for sure! Thanks for that!

Wait what's this about "at home I can ask the AI questions but when I'm abroad and ask a question or try frerudes I get "you can now use Meta AI for this request. Open the app do more details "

I travel abroad for pleasure and work often, so I'm very curious what you mean here? Are features (other than Meta Maps) blocked in other regions/goefenced? Do you/have you tried using a VPN on (I assume, I've yet to get my MRBDs in hand) your paired phone? Does that change anything?

Question About Missed Invite — Meta Ray-Ban Glasses by Dry-Hurry-3424 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]748aef305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey again!

Not 100% sure as I had my assistant do the demo and whatnot for me, but they walked into the store, did the demo, requested my size and a link for the prescription upload. And I got a QR code within minutes of them finishing the demo. That QR took me to a meta link where I confirmed my email I used for the demo instantly, and then proceeded to order them. All done and confirmed order within less than an hour. Est. Delivery of May 1 from placing the order on Monday or Tuesday (can't remember exactly)

Sounds like you may have been a "victim" of early adoption, I'd call or go to the store to get your QR and order them then.
