      I am kind of into the idea of having a little screen on the peripheral of my glasses for a heads up display as an interface with my phone. Or even as a full screen mirror for my phone to be able to browse lemmy or watch video while still keeping an eye on my surrounding. I really can’t imagine why they decided they also needed to have it record everyone secretly.

        The google glass design was pretty cool, sans camera. Iirc people were modifying them I think? Wonder how hard it would be to remove the camera. Probably soldered directly to the board. You could always try to make your own with some form of transparent screen

    GOOD!!! FUCK THESE GLASSES

    These should literally exclusively be an aid device for the visually impaired and nothing more.

    I kinda think that’s hilarious and how everyone that bought these go broke. Maybe at least someone will finally learn something then.

        They seemed reasonable for people that like fishing and the like (ignoring the huge privacy issues).

    Usually one would wait til their product take over the market before enshitifying it. For this one, they don’t even have a feasible market. Who am I to judge tho.

    This bait-and-switch bullshit has gone way too far and I hope the few dozen socialists that get elected this fall really wreck this shit for the billionaires and force regulation.

    Good headline. Didn’t call them “owners”. Because this doesn’t happen to something you own.

    Article’s first sentence already fails though.
