Yesterday I saw someone with Meta smart glasses in public for the first time. Even just standing near him was unpleasant. It doesn’t matter whether it’s recording, pointing a camera and mics at somebody who didn’t agree to it feels rude and a bit shocking.

I worry that this is becoming more acceptable or do others feel the same way? Companies keep pushing forward, now with smart neckleses, smart headphones, (all equipped with camera and mic). Are these all doomed to fail? What feature would convince me or others to actually start using them? It’s certainly not chatgpt strapped on your face, or a shitty quality spy camera either.

If any of my friends or family wore these, I wouldn’t feel comfortable speaking to them.

Im interested in your experiences. Thanks for reading.

      If you hit the glasses hard enough it will to the job as good as a hammer… failing that it takes a tad too much power for a « magnet » to affect electronics at a distance.

      😄 I’m a millennial so back in the day we learned that magnets ruin some electronics, but things might have changed now. So we need a knowledgeable tech person to let us know.

        Magnets mostly messed with tapes, floppies and hard disks. I believe you could also mess up a CRT’s calibration with one.

        None of those technologies are particularly commonplace these days, especially not in those glasses.

        I mean an MRI level magnet could crush them, but you’re gonna struggle to move that around

      Is there any song or maybe some audio that could be played out loud to discourage sharing of content or maybe get them on a list or something?
