Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don't find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

Just in a dream scenario where they are

Seamless, Not bulky
GrapheneOS version for it
Physical kill switch for mic, camera and sensors
Tor routed, or VPN friendly
Only open source software
Environmental and Fair wages commitment
100% Repairable and pro-consumer ownership
Up to date law for these technologies

I feel like a phoneless future is quite interesting, even though we will face new issues like not knowing if a person is paying attention to you or not.

100% Repairable and pro-consumer ownership

This needs to be mandatory due to its fragile nature.
