Hi-Tech Bifocals Improved My Eyesight but Made Me Look Like a Dork

Being completely fair to the article writer, it looks like this is all part of coverage for a trade show. Do folks at trade shows usually get multiple hours to personally spend with devices they write about such that we could have expected this article to have information about what it feels like to wear for hours at a time?

Nope, that's good context that I missed.

Easily missed, as far as I can tell, the only indication of this is the 'Best of IFA 2024' SVG and a small hashtag at the bottom saying 'IFA 2024'.

There are also incorrect implications it seems, that you can order this from outside Japan by quoting the price in USD rather than JPY.

I don't mind the low-depth trade show coverage, but I would expect it to be a bit more clearly signposted for anyone who doesn't understand the acronym 'IFA'.

Overall though, Gizmodo has really crashed since Gawker got acquired, and most of their writing is now minimal effort. I haven't quite got as far as unsubscribing to their RSS feed, but that's mostly through pure apathy, rather than a desire to keep seeing their drivel in my reader.
