Feddit.frYour next glasses should have a very thin frame so that people don't need to wonder if you're filming

no thanks. I did nothing wrong so I won’t change. how about we regulate glassholes and force them to wear ugly colored frames.
First they came for the men who wear red baseball caps and I said nothing.
then they came for men with assholes for mouths, and I said nothing.
You did nothing wrong so you won’t be punished, but you’re going to be judged regardless. Welcome to the wonderful world of stereotypes!
It needs to be the norm to ostracize anyone who wears this shit.
But I like the aesthetics of thicker frames. And not having those stupid plastic discs that dig into my nose and give me headaches. Just require everyone to dip their glasses into a tub of water or something, I doubt smart glasses are water proof.
They’re gonna be at least a bit waterproof. People wear glasses outside, remember.
Microwave em for 2 seconds. It won’t heat up the metal bits in plastic frames enough to cause damage but it’ll fry an IC.
I like your idea
can we still call them Glassholes?
is anyone in this room making a 8K video????
I have worn full rim, plastic frames for years now.
This time, I purposely bought glasses with metal frames, semi-rimless.
No.
Yep, thin and light frames are nice for comfort too. Titanium ones are cool
Comfortable but very easy to deform. I ruined mine simply because I always take my glasses off with my left hand and that caused the right arm to bend outwards (and this was not fixable).
No one ever told me to take my glasses off with both hands! I’ve been doing it this way for 30+ years, so the habit isn’t about to change.
Anyone who doesnt stop recording when I ask is going to be made to stop.
If somebody breaks my glasses because they think there’s a camera inside, I’m going to see red. Blurry red.
We need federal two-party consent
Or they can still have a thick frame but have them be transparent
I’ve already had a run-in with a glasshole. A service guy that came to work on something and I didn’t realize they were smart glasses for over an hour, when his phone started talking and he said, “Sorry, that’s my glasses talking to me”. I said, “Are you wearing smart glasses?” and he said, “Don’t worry, I wasn’t recording or anything.” Fucking glasshole. I really hope people give them a lot shit and make them feel unsafe to wear them in public, like last time. I’ll be a lot more observant from now on and it pisses me off that I should have to be.
I mean, if he’s not recording anything, what’s the problem?
Trust is the issue. These corpos are know torecord and collect the video without their user consent. So how can you prove that your not recording, because everybody see a pattern that these corpo will record and use all the inputs for glasses with or without the user consent.
Fuck that, I’ll keep my thick frames and if it makes you wonder that’s on you lol
I can’t wear thin frame, I need the thick plastic. The bridge supports on wire frames lead to tears in my skin that are quite painful with continued use. Plastic frames don’t do that.
But my frames are translucent dark pink and fade to clear at the bottom, so pretty obviously not shitty recording glasses. Thick black frames look absolutely shit on me.
I want to make a small apologia on behalf smart glasses. I have an Orcam MyEye (pictured) which uses computer vision to provide a number of assistive features. It lets me know who I’m looking at, and will attempt to guess age and gender. It will read text that I indicate by pointing, and it identifies currency. I believe it also has a UPC barcode database but I don’t remember. It does this completely offline.
Admittedly I don’t use it all the time since it has to attach to a glasses frame via a magnet, which is somewhat uncomfortable, and the battery makes hummingbirds look good (I think it only lasts an hour) but it proved instrumental when my eye was hemorrhaging after a surgery and I had to travel alone with even less vision than I normally have (my doggo was amazing, too).
So it’s not all dystopian.
Thank you for your input. As assistive technology, glasses with cameras definitely have a place.
Eventually, along a long enough time-frame without disaster striking, we will have smart contact lens.
Even nanotech in bionic and otherwise altered eyeballs. This will need to be dealt with but I’m not sure how feasible it will be long-term
In reality the fashion trend will probably swing the other way. More high profile people will be wearing thicker frame glasses, so people will generally begin to perceive them as more elegant and attractive.
A new underground market might encourage thefts of such valuable tech ripe for the picking.
More like every single mugging is going to now involve smashing your glasses just to be safe
No way! I’m going with thicker frames than I usually do, just to keep them guessing.
Are you being recorded? Who knows? Better behave yourself, just in case!
tell that to the Dad about to kick your ass at the playground.
yup. creeps
