Enshitification of shit. They truly are meta.
post
Expected asshole behavior from Meta and zero sympathy to people who buy that trash.
I was always a fan of Ray Ban and got their glasses/sunglasses. Guess I need to look elsewhere since this god awful partnership.
Personally i avoid visible branding, and at that point you can just go with whatever frame you like. Investing in high quality lenses is much better spent money in my experience, lightweight+deglared+extra thin lenses make a world of difference for comfortable wearing over longer time for me.
I used to like Ray Bans, too. Then Luxotica bought them and they've never got any on my money since. I buy exclusively from Costco because they only sell non-Luxotica brand glasses for significantly cheaper.
Prescription sunglasses look identical to aviators, at a fraction of the price.
did not know Costco sold exclusively non-luxo glasses - interest piqued
Would be great of Costco had their own brand of smart glasses
Might I suggest Persol?
Sadly, they are expensive, but they look good and have great quallity in my experience.
As for glasses, five years ago, I got my first Lindberg glasses, and I am never going back to other brands.
I am currently on my third pair of black Lindberg Aaron and my current sunnies are a pair of gunmetal Persol PO1027S with custom brown lenses.
I have all of my pervious Lindberg frames and will start reusing them next time, as for the Persol, I lost my earlier pair of an earlier model of Persol sunglasses, but I plan on getting new models or a new pair of the same model to have some spares or variation.
Good headline. Didn't call them "owners". Because this doesn't happen to something you own.
Article's first sentence already fails though.
This bait-and-switch bullshit has gone way too far and I hope the few dozen socialists that get elected this fall really wreck this shit for the billionaires and force regulation.
So far as i can tell, people who make PoV content, everything from YouTube shop vendors to porn
I am kind of into the idea of having a little screen on the peripheral of my glasses for a heads up display as an interface with my phone. Or even as a full screen mirror for my phone to be able to browse lemmy or watch video while still keeping an eye on my surrounding. I really can't imagine why they decided they also needed to have it record everyone secretly.
Usually one would wait til their product take over the market before enshitifying it. For this one, they don't even have a feasible market. Who am I to judge tho.
Oh you thought we'd only demand hundreds of bucks for this trash? naw, now you need to pay a subscription fee. Now pay up loser.
I kinda think that's hilarious and how everyone that bought these go broke. Maybe at least someone will finally learn something then.
GOOD!!!! FUCK THESE GLASSES
These should literally exclusively be an aid device for the visually impaired and nothing more.
