Remember when people got punched for wearing Google glasses?

Peppridge farm remembers

On a similar note, Flock is known to do OCR on bumper stickers. I've recently found myself wondering if there's any sanitization being done to the OCR output before it gets stored in whatever database they're using.

Because Bobby Tables.

Obvious problems with surreptitious filming aside, these camera-infused glasses have been great for people filming themselves doing things. If only the whole thing wasnt so damn creepy and gross.

dude secretly recording

My biggest pet peeve in life is this meme bc THIS IS NOT HOW QR CODES WORK THEY DO NOT SCAN AUTOMATICALLY YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON THE WEBSITE

I'm going to sell glasses that have IR LEDS in them that are unreasonably bright. Any camera looking at you will either only the light of a thousand sun eminating from my face or compensate so drastically that it will only see the LEDs, and everything else will be blacker than night.

What kind of sick fuck thinks that's a selling point?

Fuck meta but that's not how any of this works

I can work on this… give me a few days. Someone come back and check in tho - I’ve got a huge demo meeting Friday.

As an aside - if you come back I’ve got a new firewall we’re releasing open source on codeberg. Linux only because some functions won’t work on windows. Working on OS Agnostic version.

Welp.

Orwell warned us.

It's kind of crazy that we're already kind of there. I find myself constantly thinking about how I'm most likely being recorded at any given time I'm not at home. Even at home until I put my foot down and told my girlfriend her Ring cameras inside the house were to be put away unless we were on vacation.

And I'm old enough to remember when this feeling of being watched all the time was not a thing. I know it helps solve a lot of crimes, but honestly, I don't care. I don't think it's worth it to live in a surveillance state.

Also, I'm a nudist. I go to nude resorts/beaches. People are going to be wearing these fucking things now and then uploading the video to the internet. NOT OK. Like, there's an unspoken rule among nudists not to have phones out, and if someone does, people will confront them about it. But you can't really protect against hidden fucking cameras in sunglasses.

I'm so tired of all this.

I have no problem with people recording me. Frankly, we should be doing more Sousveillance, as governments and corporate footage has a terrible track record of mysteriously disappearing whenever it's convenient to them. But that's not it. This is yet another corporation using peoples faces as camera mounting points. Fuck them. If you need a spycam for some reason, be a normal ~~creep~~ human being, and buy them off aliexpress or something

Not a brick. Infect it so that it seems to work but continually screws up or corrupts data in weird ways. The user will eventually assume the product is a PoS and shelve it, probably without buying another

qr codes cant really contain a zero-click malware, theyre just links (unless theres a terrible vulnerability in the browser which there probably isnt)

Good news everyone! Now you can aid the surveillance state by giving Meta constant facial recognition data LIVESTREAMED FROM YOUR EYES.

Fucking idiots, anyone who wears these things.

Edit - if anyone sees these in public, the users should be loudly and publicly shamed. "Hey everyone! This guy is broadcasting your faces live to Facebook!"
