Now we need a device that detects Meta Glasses and makes us invisible to them. I know this is a losing battle and it's just inevitable over time but I don't like having information provided to someone about me without my consent. With enough adoption, at some point we would all just need to have our own glasses to even the field.

Pocket high power laser to burn out the camera ? Just make sure not to hit their eyes (or don't). /s

Worst part with Meta Quest is it seems you have to sign up as a dev and give them a credit card in order to sideload (a.k.a., install stuff on the device you purchased). So, you can shell out hundreds for one of their devices and the device and all your data are belong to Meta. I assume it’s the same deal with these glasses. Zuck off, Zuck.🖕

I got a voucher for a free pair of meta glasses. I don't want to order them. I'd need a meta account.

Wife is bugging me to order and resell and I want zero part of it.

There's new glassholes?

All I need is a nu-metal revival and we're back in 2008 baby.

Imma just wait till a better brand makes em.

I’d use it solely for cooking recipes so I don’t go “ah have to flip page….washes hands… oh shoot I forgot the amount of that ingredient… washes hands…”

The cycle never ends

Or you can go old school and just have it on a piece of paper sitting right there... you could even reuse it... maybe put it away some place safe so it doesn't get lost with all the other ones you have decided to keep...

Apps like Crouton have a hands free mode which allows you step through the instructions by winking (right = forward, left = back).

someone gift a pair of meta glasses to robert scoble so we can kill them off for good.
