Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses usually include an LED that lights up when the user is recording other people. One hobbyist is charging a small fee to disable that light, and has a growing list of customers around the country.
Yup. I remember when cell phones first started creeping into life.
People used to get side-eye for interrupting in-person shit for taking a phone call - for example, when some asshole would get a call and start yammering away in a restaurant. At least among some people; lots of people will happily pick their nose in public and so on and so those people never even gave any kind of social niceties any thought, of course.
Same thing for when bluetooth headsets started coming on the scene. I realized things were fucked when some asshat wheeled up next to me at a urinal, apparently talking to himself, until I realize he’s yammering away on his headset while taking a piss.
And now for the past several years, yeah, some people get butthurt about “boomers” calling them if they are Gen X or younger or whatever, but still…it’s hard having a full conversation this day, involving eye contact with normal functioning adults without some interruptions while they start fiddling with their phone again to scroll endlessly or text someone who is not even present over some meaningless shit.
So yeah, I agree with you - the minute this has even a barely-passable use and hits some inflection point on price we are going to see this shit everywhere.
