While still in Italy, I verified that Microsoft Teams, Unity, and Github were accessible from China. The problem is that in my case the “proxy” was the Great Firewall, and it was a bit difficult for me to call the government to ask what parameters to put in my Git configuration.

I expect the smartglasses from Facebook, first of all, to be Facebook-branded (so, goodbye Oculus), to be very stylish (remember that Luxottica is the leading company for glasses and sunglasses), and to be able to connect to the smartphone without a tether.
