    Windows is not a high level languages. I could have worded
    that better - big deal, you babies should quit your whining
    instead of going over the same point endlessly.

    Just learn to write what you mean or expect a reaction.

    You guys can do 1990's kind of things on your computers and
    then think you're so special. I ain't impressed or intimidated >>>>>>> - sorry.

    You won't accept that there are things you can't do on a tiny
    screen. That's weird.

    There's a lot of stuff that I can't do on a small screen.

    Thank you. That's all.


    There's a lot of things that old farts can't do. You can whine
    about things all day long but the kids don't care about old people
    constantly bitching about how things are. It's their world now,
    not yours.




    Their time will come too.

    And then they will agonize over only having devices to care-bond
    with.



    Perhaps - that's only natural. Maybe computers with large keyboards
    will be back in fashion in the next 50 years. My guess is that
    people will be wearing their computers in their ears or on eyewear
    by then.

    Well gee, Google glasses were a huge failure. Keep guessing.

    Well gee, no they weren't, since they just barely came out, sheesh:


    AI Overview
    Google is set to launch its next-generation AI-powered smart glasses in 2026. These new glasses, developed with partners like Samsung, are focused on AI, cameras, and, in some models, display functionality (similar to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses) for navigation and translation, rather than full AR.

    Release Timeline: The devices are expected to start arriving in 2026.
    Initial Models: Google plans to release screen-free "audio-first" AI glasses initially, followed by models featuring an in-lens display.
    Key Features: These glasses, running on Android XR, will use Google's Gemini AI to see, hear, and assist users.


    The initial consumer-focused Google Glass project was officially launched with a prototype for "explorers" in 2012, with a public release in 2014, before transitioning into an enterprise-only product that was discontinued in 2023.

    The reason why Google is co-operating with relatively unknown Warby
    Parker and Gentle Monster is probably not a choice. Meta has a long
    term deal with EssilorLuxottica SA which owns like 99% of known
    sunglasses brands including Ray-Ban and Oakley and the deal is most
    likely exclusive. You should know this.
