$60? I’ll put 2 drops of black nail polish over the LED for you for $20.
And if you’re really that worried about it a regular diode might do the trick. Or just a resistor. Or just desoldering the LED. In any case, it’s fucking stupid that these glasses exist in the first place.
Only because creeps exist. These would be fantastic for POV recording of extreme sports and racing if it weren’t for creeps. Unfortunately there are creeps.
You mean like a gopro?
Gopro always gives a funny perspective because it has to be mounted on a helmet or gas tank or such. Camera glasses would give true rider/driver/skier/you name it point of view. There’s real world, legitimate uses for them, they just don’t outweigh the risk of nefarious use.
And is that light really all that “privacy protecting” anyway?
Me wearing my skull-protecting shirt that says “I’m going to break your fucking skull open”
article is from October, wonder if still works or was killed by an system update
I want to see videos of people getting absolutely fucked up just for wearing one (willingly) at all.
This is the only story we need to be seeing happen. Every single person seen wearing I’ve just gets bodied. No mercy. No excuses.
It should be specified as an exemption to property and assault rules. Oh you have footage of the person doing it to you? Great, now we know who’s innocent by definition.
I accept absolutely no exception to this.
Something non-Meta could be great for accessibility, for something like blind people, and how you make it distinctively and obviously non-privacy breaking is a challenge, but that’s the only exception. No one else should have technology on their faces, there is absolutely no good to come from that.
What kind of fool would spend $60 for something that a 1¢ piece of black electrical tape can do?
Doesn’t the glasses “know” if you tape it over and blocks you? I thought I remember there being a proximity sensor.
That said, usually prox sensors don’t detect things like…nail polish. Or paint.
If you see someone wearing the glasses, can’t you just call them a pervert regardless? I don’t understand the point of them.
I saw a young dude with a pair on in the store the other day. I didnt look at him, but said “ew” pretty audibly as I walked by him. Im anti confrontational, so that was a lot for me
Keep up the good work
