I get “end of updates”. I get “end of support”. But why in the hell should the apps have to cease functioning?
In theory, if I still had my C=64 running around I could stick a floppy in my 1541 and type in ‘load “$”,8,1’ and get to playing a classic game.
This “Internet connection required” shit has to become unacceptable to consumers.
Yep. Enforced obsolescence.
They’ve basically confirmed to everybody that didn’t buy it that they were right. I’m not sure how they can do this and then expect the Magic Leap 2 to sell any better. Oh, and the Magic Leap 2 is nearing release if what I read was right.
Correction, it’s available for order now.
For the fool-me-twice crowd.
Sue them until they are broke then shoot them.
My option is that any device that any company that can’t or won’t support a device they sold for at least 10 years should lose all IP related to that device. All patents become void, all source code, and documents become public domain. That way any community that exists around it can support it or a rival can take up your customers.

‘load “$”,8,1’
Well, that would get you the disk directory. But if you wanted to play the game, you probably would want to go with LOAD “*”,8,1
If I wanted to be really pedantic, LOAD “$”,8,1 would not work as you would expect.
LOAD “$”,8 would load the directory catalog(ue) correctly.
and IIRC LOAD “*”,8,1 will load the first Program it finds, if you have multiple programs on the one disk then either the loader would need to be first or you would have to be more specific, e.g. LOAD “PACMAN”,8,1
Luxury. I just stuck a tape in my VIC-20 and hit “L_” and crossed my fingers.
Yeah, NOW you get to hear all about MAGIC LEAP TWO!

Preach it Brother!

I can kinda understand this happening when the company shuts down, but when they’re still operating and releasing a new version?!?
Cloud Services: On December 31, 2024, cloud services for Magic Leap 1 will no longer be available, core functionality will reach end-of-life and the Magic Leap 1 device and apps will cease to function.
How much money can that cloud server possibly cost that they’re willing to piss off their entire existing customer base?
In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if their entire existing cust
Amazon did that with their Amazon Glow. That said, they at least refunded the cost of it. (I was still out the cost of the tablet I bought my mom for the sole purpose of using with the Glow.)

But why in the hell should the apps have to cease functioning?
Most tech these days is expected to continue making revenue after the point of sale. If they don’t, they are considered a financial liability, even if they don’t actually lose any money or have any support costs. So, they get killed off completely.
Simpler explanation: because assholes.
What are you talking about? Magic Leap has a prototype and then a product, Magic Leap still has a product. They massively underperformed hopes, but every investor involved understood it wasn’t going to be a sure bet. There’s no real comparison to a product that was 98% fraud, like Theranos.
Are you sure this is true? While the details are pretty opaque, my understanding is that they were trying to develop a digital holography system – i.e. a sort of light field generator. This would allow them to do some pretty neat stuff in the AR world. But it just looks like they could not get the technology working and pivoted to a more traditional AR/VR headset system.
I have a friend who visited their offices and demoed an early unit. He said it was this big machine that you had to walk up to and look thr
Those were sold at Wal-Mart back in the day. Unlimited VOIP(?) long distance over dialup internet, but I think there may have been a subscription fee. How are those devices holding up nowadays?
Your post made me curious, so off to Google I went. It turns out that they’re still selling the Magic Jack and yes, there is a subscription fee ($43/year or $109/3 years).
Other than connecting to an old style phone, it doesn’t seem to do anything that Google Voice does for free, so I have no clue how the product is still alive and being sold
The ways to fuck the consumers are always as ingenious as the tech.
“Transparent AR currently provides a much smaller field of view than the opaque display systems of VR-style headsets, despite costing significantly more.”
While this is true [and the resolution didn’t compare] the FOV isn’t dysfunctional and the experience of seeing a room that looks like it is being viewed through glasses/goggles is vastly different vs through a camera.
I saw all the online hype videos for the original ML and thought they would be amazing, but unfortunately unaffordable for most.
Recently I got to demo the new version and all I can say is that it was a massive let down. Colors were washed out, the wireless system was buggy, and it felt very unresponsive. And this was a personal demo with their sales lead, product lead, and several engineers.
To be honest, while the field of view was larger I was less impressed by the new ML than the original Microsoft Holo
