[Earwolf]

Destroyed the wayfarer look forever

 

[Charlie Bonesx]

These things look like they have cameras on them so won't you be accosted by people who don't like that?

yes, if you approach me wearing camera glasses I will absolutely accost you

More discrete than holding up a 6"+ diagonal iPhone, yes.
That's self evident -- c'mon.

You can tell when they are recording via a very bright light, so if they aren't recording and you accost someone, you're the wrong one.

What if you get accosted by a helicopter pilot who accuses you of shining those bright lights at his chopper as lasers?

 

[spritle]

That particular model is known as "The Panties Dryer."

 

[Robert.Walter]

Could give them a 600% discount and I’d still never wear them.

nope

the onus is not on me to read the manual of every recording device people might be wearing on their faces to determine whether or not they are actively recording

even if I did, how am I to know they haven't disabled the light somehow?

 

[conmee]

Imagine the scene I could record at the urinal with these things… a glorious shot of my stomach until the Ozempic kicks in.

Probably a black Sharpie would do the trick.

 

[Earwolf]

It's They Live in reverse

It wouldn't work

 

[conmee]

It wouldn't work

Hole punch a piece of black electrical tape?

Hole punch a piece of black electrical tape?

Camera is disabled if you do that, would not work

 

[Charlie Bonesx]

Camera is disabled if you do that, would not work

Seems pretty straightforward actually

 

[svish]

Good discount. Had plans on getting one but won't be buying one now. Waiting for Apple to launch one soon.

Gonna be funny when 99% of the people dunking on Meta glasses and the new Google ones change their tune and do a 180 when Apple releases theirs.

I also don't own the Meta ones but have considered them. They seem cool but I'm so engrossed in the Apple ecosystem. Now just waiting on Apple's also.

I suspect you greatly overestimate how many people have any interest in a product like this

More than goggles sure, but still super niche

Expect a lot of backlash from normal people wearing something like this

Yeah, white pulsing light is more discrete than smartphone without any lights flashing. LOL
