Not that I think much of the software industry, but "if you don't like the interface than that's your problem" is so laughably, fundamentally antithetical to everything we've ever learned about making software that I'm struggling to process this as anything but satire.
That's a level of self-awareness I think this person lacks because spending $700 on a scam gadget is an L no matter how you present it

Seems to work ok for Microsoft who has been enshittifying Windows since 7?
Microsoft doesn’t really make software so much as they collect rents from their quasi-monopoly. A lot of software companies exist just to create solutions caused by Microsoft being aggressively shitty.
If you got 'really good at the interface' and it still fucks up your input 10% of the time, then it is not a good interface. A good interface will only fuck up inputs that you are skilled at 1/10000 times or even less. Imagine if you will, a keyboard that enters in the wrong letter 1/10 times.
Anyone remember the blinking clock on their VCR?
No?
This is why bad interface design vanishes into the forgotten past.

I don't need to get defensive
Also, this guy's going to find out what a "you problem" is when nobody buys whatever counterintuitive crap this is. Best case scenario, analogous tech will become popular and this fellow will cope saying they used it before anyone else.
This is like something you could buy out of the scholastic catalogue for $5 wtf. Google glass had more marketing potential than this.

Nitter is dead but nitter.poast.org lives on (sorta). Why? I have no idea.
That link might say "Tweet not found". Reloading the page over and over might get the page to display.

What I love about Twitter is that comments can be perfect bits except they aren't. It's unironic.
The display doesn’t look readable at all.
well a video doesn't do it justice. it's perfectly readable when it's not under extremely bright light like direct sunlight

Opposite of a Gameboy ig...
I looked up some reviews of this thing because I was curious what it actually is, and after reading them, I'm still not sure what this object does.
It's the worst possible iteration of Siri/Google Assistant/Alexa, which is really saying a lot.
Just watched a tech YouTuber video where this thing confidently miscounted the number of chicken nuggets in a box and provided the answer without qualification.
