Meta does not want you to know that you can improve the quality of these AI glasses by just microwaving them for one minute.

@vowe this has just destroyed Ray Ban for me Now, if I see anyone wearing them there is a chance I might just bop them on the nose

[andrewplord@mas.to]

@vowe I got them soaked in Covid vaccine and the wi-fi improved immediately.

[v_d_richards@literatur.social]

@vowe

That is helpful.

I thought aggressivly massaging it with my knuckles and then showing them the underside of my shoe very close up was the only improvement that works on them.

[pndc@social.treehouse.systems]

@v_d_richards @vowe Bonus points if the creep is still wearing them.

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@vowe Make it two, not all microwaves have the same output power, you need to be sure the waves charge it to 100%

Vielleicht ein Grund doch mal eine Mikrowelle anzuschaffen...

Maybe that's a reason to get a microwave...

[tattie@eldritch.cafe]

@vowe will that destroy the camera stuff? I have no idea how microwaves and electronics interact.

@vowe I wondered if Ray Ban were historically a choice for perverts and fuck me they make a range called predator

[thefeditest@mastodon.social]

@vowe also they are water proof and fireproof, you can just test the lighter on cameras to see how impressive it is

[harrysentonbury@social.linux.pizza]

@vowe also from israeli product checker:
"Yes, botcott!
Ray-Ban is a brand of EssilorLuxottica
EssilorLuxottica has invested in Israel by acquiring Nuance Hearing, a Tel Aviv-based startup. This is not its first in Israel. In 2010, the company acquired a 50% stake in Shamir Optical, an optical lens manufacturer in Kibbutz Shamir, Upper Galilee, for $130 million, and later purchased the remaining 50% in 2022."

@vowe
How about dabbing a bit of silver nitrate solution on the camera lens and exposing the glasses to sunlight? Puts a lovely layer of solid black over the lens!

Why this matters:

"#Meta and #RayBan’s new #AIglasses can be used to secretly record women and young people for sexual reasons,” the #EHE spokesperson continued in their statement to #Hyperallergic. “Simply put, that’s abuse.” The chasm between legality and ethics continues to widen as the use of smart glasses poses additional risks at sites of expected privacy, including hospitals, restrooms,...

...fitness spaces, locker rooms, and private businesses. In 2024, #Harvard researchers were able to run facial recognition software on recorded footage from #Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses to successfully locate the names, addresses, and other personal information of passersby from public databases. Morality aside, privacy law also hasn’t kept up... "
