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.

    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? 🤔
