I just bought some nice Lyle & Scott shoes, maybe I need a nice new jacket to go along with it

[HKZeroFive]

This is just as useless as a gaming chair.

What about contactless condoms?

[Bittenfleax]

What about security? Surely someone could take your jacket from the back of your chair, or even walk past with pay/scan thing and it takes money out your account?!

Cool. 

 

Now, if Google Wallet would just work in the normal configuration first.....

Or work outside of USA

If there's one thing I am for, it is less contact.

Really? I find them to be incredibly comfortable.

Each to their own opinion, but it baffles me when you could get any chair equally, or potentially more comfortable for a much lower price, than, let's say, a DXRacer. But that's probably just me.

[Psykomantis00]

Dumb.

It's probably less a matter of opinion, but rather of our own body. Some people simply won't fit into these things as properly as I do for instance. 

 

I do agree with you, that DXRacer (and others) are incredibly overpriced, but at least here in Germany, bigger furniture malls are selling "No - Name" gaming chairs with an equal design.

Fair enough, German products are pretty much always good

I like this idea better.

 

 

 

 

I also love how crazy christians go over it. Love it.

FANCY

 

Well I have to look good on holiday

In Norway, office chairs are all overpriced, and DXRacer aren't proportionally more expensive, which makes them a great deal.

 

We have a couple of bottom-feeder chains like Jysk making literal shit out of plywood and fake leather that is designed to break in months for almost the same price as a DXRacer chair.

Damn, that sucks. Chains like Ostermann or Möbelhaus Rück offer some decent chairs. Of course, they're not 100% the quality of the DX Racer, however they're about a third of the price!

 

If these would be as expensive as DX Racer or Vertagear, then I'd think twice of buying the cheap ones or one at all.

I'd disagree, small transaction chips would be amazing especially in metro areas. Allowing you to spend $30 every hour or so.

That's coffee + metro fair + random purchase of nicknack or food

 

Speed is a HUGE problem in cities, moreover the lack of efficiency with humans.

 

I'd honestly have this chip just implanted into my wrist and forget about it, even doing this then entering a custom four digits. (Not my phone number)

What about people with OCD? The germs and such. (I don't have it btw)

[Bsmith]

well... we got those chips in our bankpasses by standard... so yeah not really needed I guess.

and besides that the contactless payment system is less then 10% deployed here.

Well they definitely do not use cash so... Maybe the tech goes slightly above what's in the video and you can just hover your arm instead of placing it on.

True that

"Stop that thief!! They stole my jacket wallet identity money everything!"

[Trik'Stari]

And how long before they just start lo-jacking everyone with chips in your hands, like in demolition man?
