People must oppose “smart” glasses with cameras and microphones without compromise.

I wonder if there’s some way we could destroy these devices remotely.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Their actual owners sure can.

This is the main reason why I haven’t bought Oakleys or RayBans. I will not support companies that agree to make their products spying machines. I bought SunGod instead - better on every front, with 1% for the planet pledge and B Corp certification. European (UK) - without shitty face recognition in them.

Bolle as well, if you wanted a pair that can both survive a fall and protect your squishiest organs from anything up to a bullet

Obligatory comment on the complete lack of accountability:

Nordic countries should ban the sale of these horrible surveillance glasses.

So now they are doing it server-side?

That is very probable.

look, having a little screen on my glasses? That would be cool, I don’t want a fucking camera and mic. Why would I want that? I don’t silm every second of my life and don’t want to.

Why would I want to risk a company like Facebook being able to see litteraly everything I do?

This is a great example of a company pushing a product because it would be convenient for them if it caught on, rather than because any consumer want it.

There are a bunch of glasses with screens available without the cameras and recording. Not terribly priced either depending on budget.
