CES is all-virtual this year, kicking off this morning with 5am PT press conferences, and it is already weird, feels out-of-step with what is going on in the world, and has resulted in an exhausting number of emails about products we can't see in person.

TV maker TCL is hopping aboard the foldable display train, though they're calling it "rollable AMOLED."

I looked at this sentence for at least 30 seconds too long while I tried to understand what "AIxIoT" means and pronounce it like a word: "There will be updates on TCL’s success around the globe as well as the company’s AIxIoT strategy."
At first I thought it was a new @inafried newsletter
These are not smart glasses, they're wearable displays, obviously https://twitter.com/LanceUlanoff/status/1348668612106727428?s=20
