#532I don’t see how this is any more socially acceptable than walking around with your camera on filming everyone all the time.
The fact that it’s FB that can see through your eyes doesn’t make this any better.

The main reason I avoid cheap sunglasses is that if they only dim in the visible spectrum, your pupil dilates and lets in more UV light than it would have otherwise, damaging the retina. Not that the full spectrum protection explains away the entire premium, but it is a reason not to go for bottom of the barrel ones sold on street corners.
Common glass absorbs most of the UV light, and your lens and cornea absorb the rest. If UV light did hit your retina, you'd actually notice it - people who lack a cornea and/or lens can actually notice UV light, which is why artificial lenses like you'd get after in cataract surgery are now made of UV-absorbant materials. So unless you have a rare medical condition AND you're buying plastic lens glasses, I think you'…
All that is true except almost no sunglasses made with the glass lenses. It’s almost all plastic with UV shielding layer.

#535The live demo of this is brutal. https://x.com/ns123abc/status/1968469616545452055
This one was also pretty bad: https://x.com/jason/status/1968496622884495847?s=46&t=9d1Ha4... I think there’s some respect to give cause they’re doing it live and non-scripted.
Non-scripted? You must be kidding.

> It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. Really? Does nobody remember the "Glasshole" debacle with another equally large FAANG corporation who tried to push a similar technology? There were incidents of people getting physically assaulted JUST for wearing the things.
In 10 years the mentality evolves. It used to be considered extremely rude to pull out your phone during a conversation, now all the under 20 do it.

Lots of people, actually. This website is an echo chamber of those privacy-conscious.
HN is typically slow to admit it, but Facebook and TikTok wouldn't be popular if you were wrong. Consumers don't care.
Consumers don't know or want to know rather - ignorance is bliss when it comes to getting Children to spend relatively quiet time independently. Otherwise the GOP would be virtue-signalling about getting Roblox as a platform getting banned due to the preponderance of predators and material unsuitable or unsafe for children.

I use shockz for running - stable and your ears are totally unobstructed.
Yea AirPods transparency is great, but Shockz is another level. It’s even better than the ray bans because other people can’t hear the audio, and way more comfortable than any in-ear ones.
Wait, are you saying that audio from the ray bans will be heard by anyone around??

I think you're very much in the minority. Also, VR games didn't really evolve because it can't really evolve - the fundamental thing that makes it attractive (immersion in a digital space) can't work well because of motion sickness. So, the only way to make an immersive VR game is to have an extremely tiny game world or an on-rails experience, and that drastically reduces the appeal. Of course, you could make all sor…
This is such nonsense. The new Batman game on VR has full motion and smooth turning. It's not on rails at all. Games have got better at reducing motion sickness, and players also adapt over time.
They adapt to the taste of their own vomit? Or mitigate it by drinking lots of chocolate milk before playing?

Agree. And the constant spying doesn't help either. Who wants an always online meta controlled camera/microphone in their bedroom all the time?

Totally. Most people just click Accept All on the dumb cookie banners, and they don't give a sh*t about privacy at all.
