I have yet to understand how are these glasses useful to any normal people other than creeps? If you want to record simply use phone.
Meta's glasses will turn off the camera if you tamper with the privacy light

#12pull out the led, check its resistance, put a resistor/diode of the same resistance in it's place, and the continuity circuit will be happy.
works on many many circuits, and if you are lazy or after another type of work.around, just put in a trim pot , which just might make a boost controller "think" it's on top of mount everist and provide a few more psi, or well several bar, whoooosh, wheeeeee
cheat responsibly

Really, the original vision 20+ years ago (i.e. Rainbow's End), was that the user would have an overlay of the world they wanted to live in.
Where your pub might appear to you to be swords and sorcery world, with an orc for a bartender, the bartender would be in a sci-fi world and you would be a robot.
The cameras were needed to keep track of the real world.
I agree though, and this whole pervy use case wasn't really envisioned as much then.

There are creepy uses for them, but it should be understandable that having to take out your phone and then find the camera app and then turn off the flash and then take a picture is a lot of friction when you just wanna be in the moment but also save a picture for the gram.

Is there a method to detect the "replace with a resistor" bypass?

I find them invaluable capturing my toddler. Having the spontaneous ability to record hands-free is indispensable. I do not wear it in public, however again only when it calls for capturing my toddler. Of course, I do incidentally capture strangers but I minimize this by staying close to my subject and only looking at my subject. Yeah I find it creepy but being able to be hands free and capture at great quality fast ... Indispensable.

I can take pictures and videos, at eye level and recreate travels. I don’t need to take out my phone and risk theft in dangerous cities like London when I’m visiting. I don’t need to mess with gloves when it’s snowing in Seoul. I can capture a cool walk in to a bar. So many good memories on these. Good for navigation and music to.
This tech is the prototype for the future. Phones are outdated input devices and will be replaced in a decade or two.
