Yes, but who wants to be staring at their phone all the time.

Maybe they could make a smart glass-app to warn about smart glasses.

    A lot of us have, because we use them to communicate synchronously. I get why many people don't, but it's not like it were only boomers.

    Besides that, I get money for being reachable, and use that to buy food and stuff.

    So do I, but having a phone != available for communication all the time.

    Well, yeah that's what my work phone is for but I wouldn't ever install private stuff on that, and also my above point. And it gets turned off when I sign out.

  • Same for me, but besides work, I communicate with friends and I am there for them if they need me. My phone is muted at night and work is only when working or when I'm on call.

    Last week the garage and my complex burnt down and me and the neighbors are helping the people without homes and cars. I'm available for them.

    The FOSS option was released a week ago.

    Nearby Glasses

    * Note: I have not tested this with actual glasses. Read the disclaimers about usage too.

    Jesus Christ man how do devs not even try to hide AI usage anymore. From the thumbnail alone of this article, I zoom in, and I can immediately tell it's Gemini that made this UI. Literally the cut-and-paste style it uses. It's getting ridiculous

    This article seemed to be partially a pitch for camera-less smart-glasses... which I'm okay with. Camera-less smart glasses would be nice to have. Just give me wearOS for my face.

    a free Apple iOS app called Zuckoff

    I’m sure some of you will take issue but this is NOT a free app. There are in app purchases for more features. Free means it’s all free.

    Can we just wrap up this arc and get to the part where meta lets anyone opt into a "Smart Blur" function which prevents them from being recorded on Meta Glasses, but you have to set up a Facebook account with recent pictures of yourself for it to work?

    Is there no way in which these technological marvels will not surpass us average joes?
