The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media’s coverage of how people are using Meta’s Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

Shit, I have meta glasses for listening to music and occasionally recording my kid doing something silly.
Now people are going to look at me funny.
Have both your hands while recording is different.
This edit as a response is just unreasonably funny. Hands free and everything, perfection.
It’s pretty easy for me to put my phone in my shirt pocket with the camera exposed and facing out
/no, I don’t use this for anything nefarious
Are you really comfortable with Meta having videos of your children?
Nah, I block access. It’s all local.
Ha, look at this dood over here trusting Meta does not get the data on their devices though workarounds.
Magical workarounds?
No need for magic, if samsung and sony can do it with tvs and fridges why would Meta (a company built almost entirely on and from user data) not use the same sort of tactics, maybe not the raw data but meta data I am sure.
If it’s blocked off in your switch/firewall/network config then I don’t think that’s possible.
Well in the tv and fridge example they piggy backed on other networks in range using a backdoor. Like cellphones and other devices.
Can you link a source please?
Bruh
People were already looking at you funny.
Nothing personal, but those glasses are going to come off your face and straight onto the asphalt when I get the notification.
Don’t buy meta shit.
