Probably the same reason you're not wearing one either. It's not a problem until it happens to you.

I didn't want to have to put cameras all around both the outside AND inside my house either, but after breakins and vandalism the police proved to me I'm completely on my own. My insurance also dropped me after I tried to make a claim "without sufficient evidence."

People who lie about SA/etc. and destroy people's lives are unfortunately real (regardless of gender/sex) and isn't that uncommon. This is an extremely sensitive and controversial issue for everyone, that I don't think can be fairly distilled into a sweeping generalized accusation.

They're fucking everywhere it's terrifying. I'm old and married, I'll be fine, but I'm really concerned for the young women out there :(

Why weren't they wearing body cams prior if it's the real reason?

Wired is just the Sharper Image Catalog

as a form of protection from lying women.

rapist says what?

Jesus i didn’t realize how many of them are out there

77 million voted Trump.

I recently saw a story that claimed some guy wears the glasses as a form of protection from lying women.

I don't know if it's BS or not, but the fact that I can't tell, doesn't seem like a good thing for society.

Fair point. "Men doing anything while wearing pervert glasses huge red flag". Not exclusive to dates.

This is overwhelmingly a male phenomenon. That shouldn’t be glossed over. And the article talks about why men might be more drawn to these.

I'm a man. It was a joke.

God, so sensitive

Men bad.

Wired passed on calling them "pervert glasses".

Cowards.

I am so glad that I never got into the whole thick rimmed glasses hype.

I wear Lindbergs as my daily driver

If you aren't an influencer or streamer, or whatever, what is going through your head when you do that? Do you want to relive a rejection?

"Person wearing Meta Glasses is an instant red flag", fixed the headline

I remember the Internet years before Google was a thing, so, yes. I remember when Gmail came out with 1GB which was absolutely unprecedented. Yahoo was giving 100MB, which was considered more than enough, and was more than enough for most people. 1GB seemed impossible to fill.

Shortly after, people began complaining of Google using your own email to market stuff to you and they were accused of snooping. They said they didn't, it was all automated, but we didn't really know. Google just gave us a bunch of free shit and most people never questioned why. I remember they said "don't be evil", but I'm not sure they ever meant it.

Google has ever really only wanted your data. They're a data broker. Search, Gmail, and Android all serve that end. Microsoft and Apple are computer companies. Apple makes the computer and the operating system. Microsoft just makes the software, but they also have the Surface line now. But their goal from the start has been every desk running Microsoft software, regardless of who makes the hardware.

Oh, I also remember when LG was called Zenith and TVs came in big wooden cabinets called consoles. That's not actually 100% right. Zenith died out and LG bought the brand. I think Zenith was American or maybe Canadian, somewhere in North America, and LG was always Korean AFAIK. Like how Motorola was American (that, I do know) and Lenovo is Chinese, and Lenovo bought Motorola. Still, the legacy of Zenith TVs, for better or worse, resides in LG's current legacy. A lot of people who used Zenith TVs use LG TVs and they don't know the connection. You tell them, and they're like "oh, that tracks." They just followed quality, and LG has made some quality screens... spying issues with software notwithstanding.

You know, the specific situation aside, because fuck that guy; but I kinda get why someone would want something to serve as a body cam. There's benefits to it, particularly if you're in public a lot.

Yeah, it's not fucking cool the way the glasses do it, but I still get the use case. It's just a shame it's impossible to use something like that and be privacy friendly

I do agree with you, in that I think LG is full of shit and I'm giving money to GN to continue working on the story. It is likely that they'd want to do both PR and sue. The legal system takes time and LG wants to get out ahead of everyone disconnecting their TVs network so they can keep getting that sweet sweet data, which if they waited for a lawsuit to release a PR statement, they'd be missing out on.

Anyone know if the Roku remotes that don't do voice control have microphones? I'll rip it open if they do but like, I really don't wanna do that if I don't need to. I'm unfortunate enough to have a Roku TV and not have a box I can use for streaming so It's set up with my jellyfin. I know they can see what I'm watching, but can they hear me too?

While this works out fine usually, pulling parts without adding heat is potentially risky, because it's possible to pull unrelated traces off the board this way
