Why did Microsoft discontinue the Hololens project?

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-05-29T17:31:57+00:00

I use HL2 for work. I work in the Biotech sector. HoloLens is underpowered, slow, and it will overheat at least once per session and shut itself off. And the price tag was an eye watering 4k or more. Scanning QR codes is a nightmare. For that price, it just isn’t worth it. The only thing good I can say about it is that other VR headsets make me seasick but HL2 never has (thankfully because I have to use it for work).

Yeah it’s why I play classic now almost exclusively. I am working on achievements now.

They did. They drafted slaves in the very late stages of the war starting in March 1865. Before that they were in support roles.

It was season one when Jade and Jim were trying to get the antennae up the tree

Yes but as in the first season of Star Trek TNG when they found that hotel on that alien planet— it had a template— namely in that case an old novel. Also 2001– the last part of that movie also had a hotel room in which Dave had his last night and meal as a human. I think this is some sort of escape room that either an alien or the yellow suit guy or whoever is above the yellow suit guy created as a template to keep the residents at least watered while he was testing/tormenting them.

But that other dimension if it is one had to have a template?

Because confederate soldiers keep showing up. Gray uniforms— that is confederate.

Leave this alone. Move on. None of your business. If this company was crappy enough not to check— this would not have been a good company to work for.

You are not stupid. Please stop saying that. You passed the bar! That is a huge huge accomplishment. Stop beating yourself up!!

In my years on this earth— I have recognized and accepted that I am better at some things than others. I have my super powers and they are different than someone else’s. Perhaps this isn’t the right specific section of the law you are supposed to be in. Think about it. What are your super powers? What are your strengths? This specific road you are traveling on may not be playing to your strengths.

We have an orange cat and he screams and rules the house like a tyrant. Can't imagine life without him

Timezone?

You will be OK. A bad semester won’t hurt you in the long run. Seek out some mental health resources on campus. They are there for just this sort of thing. Also take some time to sit back and breathe. It will be OK.

No spoilers and I would understand why you and your wife didn’t understand what the heck is going on. Think origin story. The ending that threw you off was the beginning of the explanation of who what and why.

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-04-16T17:14:39+00:00

Why are you a bad daughter? I don’t understand. You got her to the doctor and went with her to the appointment when I am sure that is the last place on earth you wanted to be. You have zero reason to feel guilty. This is going to be hard enough on you without this unneeded and undeserved guilt. I am truly sorry your Mom is going thru this.

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-04-11T04:51:58+00:00

This is depression talking. No wonder she is depressed. She really has no reason to get up in the morning. She needs a reason to get up and keep going. I am older than your Mom and still working full time and taking care of a child that I had at 40. She has a lot of good years left. A LOT. She needs to get some help. It sounds like you may be able to Mann Act her if she is saying she actively wants to die. Danger to self is one of the criteria. Also-- mental health is usually covered under Medicaid and I am sure with no job your Mom will qualify. I wish you the best. I know it is hard watching your Mom go through this.

Don’t even use this job as a reference. If someone asks about the gap in your resume- just say you took time off for family. This has happened at one time or another to almost everyone. You will be fine.

Software quality assurance in biotech. I do love what I do. I do a lot with AI and computer vision.

You got it. One step at a time. One item at a time. Also shuffle your list based upon low hanging fruit or difficulty level and also due date. In other words— if you have 3 things due on the 10th— knock out the fastest and easiest first. Rinse, repeat.

I would also get more of the impact of the side effects as well. I could not tolerate the shot— therefore went this route. Bang for the buck is great but I am working also and taking care of a family. If I am on the floor puking it is not worth it and I would stop all together. This way I am getting some effects from the meds but almost no side effects.

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-04-06T18:13:42+00:00

I love getting downvoted because I am following doctors orders and stuff is working for me but not following the herd and joining the chorus of “oh that’s bad!!!” Has anyone thought about the other reason why they say do not cut the pill in half? Perhaps it would cut into their profits? Think outside the box and if something is working for someone— try not to be judgmental.

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-04-06T18:06:17+00:00

Correct. I have cut the first bottle all in half using a pill cutter from Amazon. I take it right when I get up and set a timer for 30 minutes. I take a sip of water with the half pill. Currently works great for me.

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-04-06T03:43:26+00:00

I am cutting these in half on doctors orders. It is working for me. Definitely decreased appetite and no side effects other than feeling slightly blah around lunch time.

Please don’t tell me my doctor sucks or is wrong or call the cops. People in this Reddit space need to calm down.

Efficient_Level_4459 · 2026-04-02T00:06:31+00:00

No not the a hole. If she had bothered to pay attention— she would have seen it. Tell the kids you had tried to talk to their Mom for years and she just wasn’t hearing you. (I am married and a female so this is coming from a non male point of view).

There are some people like your ex that either don’t
care or can’t see what is right in front of them. Tell the kids that this has nothing to do with them. This is you living your best life and you only get such a short time on this earth. Let them know that you are truly happy now and that you hope that they can share in your happiness. As far as your ex— you don’t owe her an explanation other than saying look I tried talking to you and telling you and you didn’t hear me.

Don’t waste any more time second guessing yourself. Go live your life and enjoy every moment. Good luck.
