Technology

Install this on kali nethunter and make glassholes pay for their crimes.

Same reason our governments suck ass. Something unpopular tries to get passed again, and again, and again, and again, and eventually people get desensitized and worn out from trying to fight against it. That or it hits on the right time when people are distracted by something else bigger or more important.

I remember Google Glass itself receiving a ton of outrage actually: People hated it and anyone wearing one was made fun of ("glassholes" was a popular insult at the time).

Many years of indoctrination. When Google glass was introduced, it was just 'a neat idea'. Now it's a product, and therefore it's clearly more trustworthy because someone is profiting from it. (/s)

Years of privacy violations going deeper and deeper under pretend of "progress" and "pRoTeCt the cHiLdReN". I am glad that people started rebelling against Flock, and some removed their Amazon cameras following the Superbowl's ads, but that's not even close to how much we should be mad at these mass surveillance actors.

There's a window of attention for public discourse and there's fatigue. We, as a group, can only be upset about so much. It's a tried tactic to just try to distract us with some crazy shit, like Trump did with the alien files. If one crazy thing comes up in the news, other stuff will drop from our radar. And that's why people try shit again and again and again. Always in the hope that this time people are distracted by other stuff or are finally worn down enough.

It still isn't OK.

It is just that the technology became so small, you can't differentiate with regular sunglasses anymore.

That license looks like Creative Commons Non-Comercial, which is not an open source license.

It would be incredibly useful in construction. Having a digital overlay telling you exactly where to put up the framing for a separating wall, or an overlay showing the correct distance between screws, or where wires and pipes are inside a wall? There are so incredibly many awesome possible uses for AR in construction.

Drop the cameras and microphones and replace them with a couple accelerometers and gyros. Paired with your phone's GPS tracking, the glasses can tell where you're looking without actually seeing anything. You can get handy features like a floating 'turn here' sign over your exit while driving with GPS navigation without recording anyone or anything at any time. Better battery life, too.

Perfect response. Record someone without consent, it should be the last time those glasses are wearable.

Doesn't this boil down to self-censorship in public? Better not critizise the government in public becaus you never know whos waring smart glasses...

How hard can you throw it?

depends on what you know about flipper zero.

The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.

It's supposed to ask for Bluetooth access at that point, did it?

Also from the GitHub page:

if you don't see the scan starting, you might need to enable Foreground Service on your particular phone in the Settings menu [in the app's settings, not the phone's]

Apparently the lidar in some cars can damage cameras and are safe for eyes.
