@Mitmee_Pie@tweesecake.social @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca Fully get that. Both Glide and Solos are risky investments, but in many cases I think people are deciding it’s a risk worth taking. I baught Solos also. They were slightly more expensive than I’d have liked costing €520 to ship to Ireland, so they need to be really good. I love testing for Vision Ireland content in work, but I’ve a high standard as these are expensive devices for people. Hope things stabilised with your job.

@DavidRedmond@mastodon.ie @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I was very fortunate/impulsive; got in on the ultra early bird price for the Envision Solos glasses, so they were $399. Not cheap by any means, but comparable to the meta glasses which I found to be terribly frustrating; sold those to a co-worker to reduce the out of pocket price of the Envisions. Yes, they might be a risk, but they're talking of a delivery date in a couple of months as opposed to a vague date in the distant future with Glidance. When I pre-ordered Glidance, they were saying it would be delivered in September of this year. A good friend who still has a Glidance pre-order said that the last he heard, it had been pushed back to spring of next year, and now this European thing... I'm sad for the reason I felt the need to cancel my pre-order, but it's feeling as though it may have been a wise decision, at least for now. As for my job, things are OK for now, but I always try to focus on being the best employee I can possibly be in case downsizing happens again.
