Still, amazing how Meta (and Luxottica?) massaged the media to have the wearers of its dystopian goggles not labeled how they ought to be labeled: Glassholes.

As much as I'd like a quick hack to disable raybands recording me - that feels like a pretty slam dunk case of destruction of property.
Just attach a camera to your device and say you where recording in public just like them, no seam to have an issue with that. Your system was just measuring the distance to the target using lidar :)
You're still responsible for damaging people's property even if you have a super clever reason why you totally didn't intend that to happen :)

#64"using the bathroom" will be the least of what they're watching people do. Anyone wearing these glasses (or similar) should know that all of the audio/video picked up by the glasses will be watched and analyzed by others, likely by AI as well. Just like the entire point of facebook is to spy on people and profit from that data, the entire point of these devices is to spy on people in ways that the facebook app doesn'…
And now realise the same is true for your robot vacuum, car camera, doorbell camera, etc etc We consumers have no protection against big tech

I like to call big tech, “Little Sister” since governments are “Big Brother”

#65Putting a camera and microphone on your head and wearing it all day, connected to a platform with Mark Zuckerberg at the helm... what do you expect?

Sunglasses, no. Meta RayBans, deservedly.
The problem is, they are becoming normalized very very quickly. Take a walk down whatever area has the best night life near you and you will see tons of people wearing meta glasses. It's so common.
I don't know where you live but I've literally never seen one outside a display in best buy

Obligatory Valetudo reference. Replace the robovac firmware so it doesn't do cloud.
Can't help with the rest unfortunately.

Sure you do. All of those are available in local versions without Internet. You just need to care enough, be able to afford them (while my vacuum has no camera, it requires the cloud, but it was significantly cheaper than a local or hackable one), and have the ability to self host something like home assistant.
And what are you doing about everyone elses amazon cameras that are watching you wherever you go, all uploaded to the cloud and processed by AI.

I have seen zero people wearing them that were not terminal omegadork weirdos. If anything, these people are providing a service of self-identifying.
