True. But still useful knowledge a lot of people don't know if you own your own machine. One time my washer stopped draining, no matter what it stayed full. Someone one of his baby socks got stick on the filter and clogged it. I had to call a repair company, they guy was like "let me check something before I start working on it". He pulled the filter, found the sock and put it back it. I was expecting a 200 dollar fee for repair + parts. He said it was only 40 dollars for his travel time. Later on noticed I got a "statement" from the company. He marked it as "owner was not home, unable to access machine" which had a fee of 40 dollars... They included a statement that the ticket was closed and if services were still needed a new ticket would need to be created.

    It's normally a small door on the bottom corner of the front of the machine. MAKE SURE WASHER IS DRAINED AND EMPTY BEFORE OPENING. Most are reusable and you basically remove it, wash it in a sink and reinstall. If your washer won't drain this is a quick and easy thing to check and repair but have plenty of towels around, once you pull out filter water will drain out of it and go everywhere (several gallons).

    I think this is great but I have one concern, what about emergency services? Like if a parent has a heart attack and ambulance can't get there due to no road closure. Is there a plan for such events?

    Eh, I could see microphone since it's now common to see people walking around with ear buds that all have microphones. That way I can make a phone call using the glasses. And like a heads up display with the time, count of messages waiting for reading/response, what ever other notifications.

    Like imagine if a hypoglycemic person gets a notification right in their field of view. Before it effects their mood or bodily functions, when blood sugar is below a certain point "go eat something, current blood sugar is x". You can get these apps on your phone but you gotta check your phone. It's better than years ago where you needed constant blood draws to check every few hours but could be improved.

    Maybe an alarm system to pops up "appointment with doctor in 45 minutes, leave soon to arrive on time". Now you can do it on your phone, but you can miss it if your not constantly checking your phone. The current solution is a smart watch but it would be better directly in your glasses.

    None of this requires Ai. None of this requires a camera.

    Are there any non-pervert glasses? Like no camera but with built in ear buds and ability to show notifications on your glasses? Like a smartwatch but in your glasses with earbud built in.
