Meanwhile, I recently got new prescription glasses (after wearing my previous pairs for way too long, BTW) and got some that have an IR-blocking coating that's supposed to block face recognition cameras. Because that apparently needs to be a thing these days.

(I'm disappointed that these DuckDuckGo glasses don't have a similar special coating. I like the company I got mine from, but I'd like to see more companies offering privacy-enhancing tech.)

    I didn't want to give the appearance of shilling. But if you want to know, it's https://www.zennioptical.com/id-guard

    There are apparently also similar products from "Reflectacles" and "Vaydr," but they were more expensive and/or not normal prescription glasses. The Zenni thing is just an extra coating you can add on to the glasses you would have otherwise bought anyway (which is how I found out about it; I didn't know it existed beforehand).
