Putting them in parking lots is way more TCO.

Risk to other peoples property

You’re putting them 20 ft in the air so any maintenance is a lot harder.

Expense for the super sturdy structure to hold them over a car.

The upsides are it keeps the cars protected and if you don’t have a field that makes sense…

youtube, #candid #activewomen it’s pretty digusting honestly, but it’s not glasses.

I’m totally down with that. exception of the police and government officials. of course, it’d never happen because it would make commercial surveilance cameras illegal.

My problem is we’ve let it through literally everywhere else, cameras, cellphones, public survielance, dashcams. The one thing that i’d actually like to be able not to pull my phones out for is the hill to die on. it just all seems really fucking pointless

the fraction of people doing that is very small, while the percentage of people doing that with Meta glasses is basically 100%.

care to give me any citation at all on that?

But the glasses do this as a core function.

go back to google glass, it had none of that and it was just as big of a target.

It’s also a lot more obvious when someone is using a phone to record in public.

There are entire kinks around voyure footage taken unaware in public from cell phones. I think your lack of seeing people doing it a confirmation bias.

If I obviously orientate my phone towards you or your kids, you’ll be totally cool?

You don’t need to obviously do that, a reasonably wide lens and you “reading social media” would do the same. It happens all the fucking time.

Now assume that a smartpervert glass wearer is doing just that but you don’t know about it.

Assume every time someone has their phone in front of them their camera is on and has at least a 45 degree viewing angle.

I’m saying it’s exactly the same on a phone, don’t delude yourself that it isn’t happening or that it’d be totally obvious

phones should absolutely indicate and in a way that can’t be taped over.

I’ve never completely understood what the full fuss is over the face-mounted cameras. They put high-power zooms and 50MP sensors on the back of cell phones, and nobody bats an eye.

There’s fuckloads of recording going on. Do it with a phone? yeah fine. Do it with glasses, world’s gonna end.

Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it’s on from the nose bridge.

I’d LOVE to replace my phone with a pair of glasses.

should be book 6

All giving out your number provides is that you have ever used Signal.

They’re saying ever using a private chat service is terrorism. That’s not really on Signal.

chromebooks during highschool geometry

Nah, most of the school equipment/networks are monitored/blocked to hell and back. I’m not saying they can’t find loopholes, but they’re severely hampered, and when they get caught, it’s a big deal.

A lot of that chromeOS is people buying the cheapest hardware at Walmart and using it as their faptop.

Just like a lot of the Linux is probably steamdecks.

It’s probably SteamDecks alone.

I mean, peertube is full of that right now and nobody wants to watch it.

There’s maybe a couple of hours, a week worth of reasonable content and it’s the same handful of people.

Until somebody figures out monetization on Peerube, the platform will be stuck right exactly where it is now.

Tell me, if it’s harder to publish and it’s impossible to monetize, what are you going to be viewing?

For consumers absolutely. For creators trying to make a living no so much.
