So, imagine that you're about to make a really cool machine that lets you see things that aren't there when you wear glasses, but you find out that making these special glasses is super expensive. Would you still make them? Maybe not.

That's what happened with a big tech company called Meta (the people who make Facebook). They were trying to make some new, really advanced glasses that could show you imaginary things, kind of like what happens in a cartoon or video game. To make these glasses work, they were also trying to build a special computer chip, which is like the brain of the glasses.

But they found out that building these special computer chips was going to cost a ton of money, maybe more than they can afford. So, they decided to scrap that part of the project and instead use a regular computer chip from another company, like Qualcomm. This way, they can still make the glasses, but they'll be less fancy and probably a little more expensive for the people who want to buy them. Read from source...
