So without their cloud service no apps.

Wouldn‘t call that an OS.

Ah. I was about to ask if it is private and if the AI can run on-device, but I guess this comments answers all my questions in the negative. Too bad.

Just as its name indicates, it’s one of the same that comes up every month and produces undesirable waste at the end of the cycle

MentraOS is a cloud OS (there doesn't exist a good way to build this on the edge, we've tried). Users don't need our cloud service, however, as it can be self-hosted:

Ridiculous.

Based on everything ive been able to infer and the comments on this thread, perhaps safe yo classify this under the FauxSS rather than FOSS

If there's no good way to run applications on your smart glasses, they don't seem to be too smart...
