Here are the glasses that it looks like the unit in the article uses, you can buy them now, and they already kind of do what you describe, but only support Mac for now.

I imagine other AR glasses would work just as well for what you describe, and as someone else stated, Immersed is an AR/VR app that allows you to control windows on a computer.

There are still replacement parts available for the headphones I bought 4 years ago now.

I guess it all depends on what the company you get them from is like. Though, Aiaiai headphones are not cheap, so that might be part of it as well.

Also, the only part I have broken was the cable on mine, I ran over it with my desk chair.

Madoff was much the same, as Robin Williams put it so well:

In the midst of all this, there was Bernie Madoff. An embezzler named "made off." Hmm. Was the name not a clue? Did he have to be with the accounting firm of Dewey, Fuckyou, and Howe?

Then, after the fact, the USA saw this as an opportunity to get Assange.

Speaking of things with no basis in reality. The US would have a harder time getting him in Sweden than in UK, there is no reason to believe that the Swedish charges had anything to do with the US. That was Assange's take, but since he is paranoid, and there is not evidence for it, it is just a conspiracy theory, and it doesn't even make sense.

Pretty sure Assange behaved badly, two women at once.

He was accused of having sex with a woman without a condom after telling her he would, also, it was while she was asleep, which means that she could not provide consent.

The next morning, however, under circumstances which remain deeply murky, the sources said, Assange allegedly had sex with the woman again, this time without a condom. Then, after a meal during which the Mail says that the woman joked that she could be pregnant, they parted on friendly terms, with Miss W buying Assange his train ticket back to Stockholm.

The request from the women for an STD test stemmed from the two timing, but the rape charges were for non-consensual sex.

As for the women not wanting to press charges, it seems I have this case confused with another, it looks like the charges were being pressed by the women, they were dropped because the prosecutor didn't feel that with the time that had passed that they would have enough evidence.

One of the fixes I have seen mentioned (maybe on GN?) was to shorten the connectors so that if it isn't fully inserted, it doesn't make the connection. This would be compatible with the existing stuff, without significantly changing things. The female side (power supply) would have the dimples closer together, while the male side (video card) would stay the same.

Submission + - 'The Babylon Bee' Joins 'The Onion' In Decrying Law That Makes Parody a Felony (reason.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: The Babylon Bee this week joined The Onion in urging the Supreme Court to defend the First Amendment against an Ohio law that makes parody a felony. The case, which the Institute for Justice is asking the Court to take up, involves Parma resident Anthony Novak, who in 2016 was prosecuted for violating a state law against using a computer to "disrupt, interrupt, or impair the functions of any police, fire, educational, commercial, or governmental operations." Novak supposedly did that by creating a parody of the Parma Police Department's Facebook page. [...]

For obvious reasons, the right-leaning Bee, like the left-leaning Onion, is alarmed by the implication that people have no recourse against cops who arrest them for making fun of government agencies. "The Bee is serving a brutal life sentence in Twitter jail as we speak," says its amicus brief (PDF) in Novak v. City of Parma. "Its writers would very much like to avoid a consecutive sentence in a government-run facility." The premise of Novak's prosecution was that he had disrupted police operations by prompting calls about his parody to the department's nonemergency line. "Left in the hands of the Sixth Circuit and the Parma PD (and other like-minded law enforcement), the speech-stifling Ohio statute used to go after Mr. Novak empowers state officials to search, arrest, jail, and prosecute parodists without fear of ever being held accountable," the Bee says. "The upshot for The Bee is that, in Ohio at least, its writers could be jailed for many, if not most, of the articles The Bee publishes, provided that someone contacted law enforcement—or another entity 'protected' by [Ohio's law]—to tell them that the articles exist."

Consider the March 3 Bee story headlined "Donut Sales Surge as Police Departments Re-Funded." If someone "had called the Parma Police Department to let them know that The Bee had published the article," the brief suggests, the publication "could have been charged with a felony, its offices searched, and its writers arrested and jailed for days, all without consequence for the parties doing the charging, arresting, jailing, and searching." Likewise if an officer's "passive-aggressive brother-in-law had forwarded the article" to the cop's official email address, thereby "interrupt[ing]" his work. Given the broad wording of Ohio's law, which refers to "governmental operations" generally, Bee articles about federal agencies, such as its August 12 report on the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago, also could be treated as grounds for arrest. "Had a caller contacted the FBI field office in Cleveland or Cincinnati" to "express outrage over the suspicious timing of the FBI's raid on Melania Trump's Mar-a-Lago closet and Attorney General Garland's acquisition of a haute couture wardrobe," the Bee notes, that could be the basis for a felony charge in Ohio.
