    Privacy concerns aside, saying the glasses are literally useless is

    My eyes glazed over as soon as I read this much.

    Nothing you say after this matters for a device purpose built for non consensual and inconspicuous invasion of privacy

      So I’m guessing you missed this part, then

      don’t even remotely begin to justify the creepiness of constantly recording […], which I entirely agree with.

      And this probably too…

      The things are pieces of shit, and everyone who buys one is a dick

      Seems like you read two words and then just decided to guess what the rest of the comment is about.

      That isn’t what it is! That’s like pointing at a 3d printer and calling it a gun manufacturing station. Sure, it can be used for that, but you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater here.

        Not sure exactly how serious you are, but you can use a 3D printer without making guns. You cannot use cameras like these in public without massively invading people’s privacy.
