This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This feels like gorilla marketing to me. They knew the judge would tell them to take them off and it would be just enough of a sensational story to make it to press. Now more people know that Meta has these glasses.
Edit: I'm not changing it. The responses to my mistake are too funny
Guerilla marketing?
HA! yes. I knew I spelled it wrong just to lazy to edit my post - thanks!
I like it better your way.
Meta's glasses, retail for between $299 and $799, are equipped with a camera that can take photos and record video.
CBS is definitely involved in this gorilla scheme
Gorilla marketing, when you charge at someone and stop right before you fuck them up and then offer to sell them something.
Shades on for Harambe?
I'm down for this, but not Meta shades. Professionals have standards.
Why would apes want Meta glasses?
The return of the glassholes
Step one being "make the judge mad" is a bad idea.
Yea, he better watch out or he's gonna get a $6000 fine instead of $5000.
I always looked down on two party consent states, but now with the spyware glasses freaks? I'm less sure than ever.
I mean, I think I should be legally allowed to punch people in the face breaking the glasses just for wearing them, but this isn't a just world~
When google glass came out (2012 or 13) it was absolutely hilarious living in the bay and regularly riding muni (public bus) in the mission. I saw multiple people run into the door/poles/etc and also multiple people get their glasses ripped off their face and stomped on. Bus driver just shrugged, bus patrons applauded. I'm no luddite and all for technology but even more for consent.
Choads. All of them.
These guys went full techbro.
Never go full techbro.
Get ‘em, Judge!
Eww. CBS is linking to Free Press articles. What next ABC News and Epoch News?!?
So I need to preemptively wear anti facial recognition makeup if ever called for jury duty. Gotcha.
It seems somewhat realistic to expect an actual punishment for this, even if not properly scaled. It's worth fighting for. But being prepared alongside that is important.
