Since Meta launched its AI-powered Ray-Bans, which can record video and audio as well as make calls, there’s been a growing privacy backlash against the specs, with many dubbing them “pervert” glasses after they were reportedly used to film people without their consent. (…)
Never one to miss an opportunity to take a public swipe at big tech, the alternative search engine DuckDuckGo has now launched a new range of glasses in collaboration with the San Diego firm Knockaround (…)
The twist: with their permanent offline mode, zero cameras and mics, no AI or electronics of any kind, the “California cool” Paso Robles have been hailed as “the world’s most innovative anti-surveillance sunglasses,” AKA "Normal F***ing Sunglasses” according to Knockaround’s website.


IDK; “anti-pervert” suggests some sort of active measure against pervert glasses. And I wonder if that wouldn’t be possible.
You could add UV lights to it to blind the camera. But you are right these don’t have that. This is just a (I think very funny) marketing stunt.
I wonder if it would be possible to jam the Bluetooth signals, or somehow poison the packets, with which they connect to the wearer’s smartphone, too. With the obvious side effect of jamming all devices using Bluetooth in the immediate vicinity. Other than that, what else in the streets uses 2.402 GHz to 2.48 GHz? 🤔
Home automation, hearing aids, smart meters, weather stations, garage door controls, drones, baby monitors, security cameras, wireless/microwave ISP links
WLAN depending in the standard in use runs exactly there.
Wouldn’t infrared achieve the same at less risk for the eyes of other people and less power consumption?
I think we’re all going about this backwards. The glasses directly out perverts in public, and the same anti-pervert tech our grandparents and great grandparents used are still reliable. Apple is doing half our work for us.
Go on?
My personal belief is that there have never been and will never be any crimes committed against pervert-glasses wearers. I’m convinced I will never see one, they don’t exist. In fact, just last night I didn’t see two crimes committed against them, neither in the face nor in the balls.

It is just violence…
Are you trying to reply to people?
Or did you intentionally make 5 individual and nonsensical replies to the same post?
Edit:
Well, apparently it’s a glitch?
Is it something I did, or is it fixed?
Impossible it was something you did.
Because all comments are now showing as replies, even mine which didn’t when it posted.
Either there was a minor glitch with the server that fixed itself, or more likely it was on my client side.
In any case:
Yes, your comments in this thread are showing as replies to other comments now
Is this just more “just punch them in the face” drivel?
Hopefully more punch and less drivel 😉
That is what I often hear from clowns who have never been in a fight or in prison.
