The chunky black frames, demonstrated by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, are still in development with no timeline on launch. However, the Orion shades represent a first look at the company's holographic AR glasses ambitions. They represent the convergence of the company's Quest line of headsets and its Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, which Jim Cramer has been praising for months and months now. During his Connect keynote Wednesday, Zuckerberg shared a montage of user experiences with the Orion glasses, showing first impressions from notable celebrities.

Orion is Meta's first "fully-functioning" prototype AR glasses, Zuckerberg said, and the device is tethered wirelessly to a small "puck." The Orion glasses are an improvement on Project Nazare, prototype smart glasses that Zuckerberg announced in 2021, when the company changed its name from Facebook. As part of Wednesday's event, Meta announced new Meta AI features for its Ray-Ban smart glasses.

HONG KONG — Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways has banned a couple for harassing a mainland Chinese woman who refused to put up her reclined seat. An altercation occurred during a flight from Hong Kong to London on September 17. Whether on the plane or online, I had many friends from Hong Kong who came forward to help and support me," she added. Hong Kong was returned to China after it was handed over by Britain in 1997. In recent years, Chinese influence has been growing in the global financial hub, with the Beijing imposed National Security Law and an influx of mainland Chinese professionals.

☆ 'Childless cat lady' is a more common lifestyle choice. Here's what being child-free means for your money
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-24 | by ( Jessica Dickler | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The stigma of the "childless cat lady" persists, but these days, more young adults are embracing that label and opting out of parenthood — and benefitting, at least monetarily. Nearly a quarter, or 23%, of millennials and Generation Zers without children do not plan on having children, primarily due to financial reasons, according to a recent consumer spending and saving index by MassMutual. A preference for financial freedom and the inability to afford children are equally cited by 43% of younger generations, MassMutual found. Since the 1970s, the overall share of married adults has declined and fewer couples are having children, according to a 2023 report from Pew Research Center. Although there is a financial benefit, "it's not like you are child-free and checks fall out of the sky," said Jay Zigmont, author of "The Childfree Guide to Life and Money."

Five days ago, I did something revolutionary for a Gen Zer: I deleted all the social media apps from my phone. Social media dependency is a real problem, recent data shows. So much of my free time throughout the day was consumed by mindless scrolling on the social media platform X and Instagram. Disconnecting allows time for a self-auditGoing on a 30-day silent retreat is a much greater challenge than ditching social media for a few days.

TikTok has banned all political advertising on the app since 2019, but that hasn’t stopped advertisers from running what appear to be paid political messages on the platform. According to TikTok, the company does “not allow ads featuring political content across any of our monetization features, including paid ads, creators being paid to make branded political content, and other promotional tools on the platform.”TikTok stands apart among its big tech peers in banning political ads — Facebook, Instagram, X and Google all allow political advertisements. The continued presence of political ads on TikTok illustrates the difficulties in patrolling its own platform just weeks ahead of the 2024 presidential election and amid the court proceedings over its potential ban. The findings come as recent research shows that political ads on social media platforms are often filled with misinformation. There were no obvious signs of misinformation among the TikTok videos NBC reviewed.
