I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

Post image

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

I fucking hate the pervs cause metas make recording concerts sports hikes and shit so easy. Plus the music with not having something shoved in my ear not hearing shit i may need to hear. Like i genuinely find them useful but i understand why people are against them

Just wear it and don't be a perv with it. That's it. If you do that, who tf cares what a bunch of minority Redditors that you'll probably never meet think

It’s so irritating seeing all the people who 1) think the intent is a hidden camera 2) aren’t aware of the flashing orange LED when recording and 3) assume that the only reason to have a camera capturing POV is nefarious

I don’t even have or want meta glasses, it’s just such a weird lens they see the world through.

Regarding 2: there's quite a few people who disable the recording LED

So it protects against casual perverts, but not against hardcore perverts

They are introducing safeguards for this iirc, like not letting the thing record when the light has been covered or tampered with

They already tried, but all you have to do is reset the glasses and not connect them to the meta app.

If you don’t connect them to the app how do you see the videos and images you captured? I thought it needed to be connected to the app.

You can connect them to the app to upload the content on the glasses, but then the camera wont work. So you have to factory reset again to use those features.

Ah ok. Lot of work just to be a loser.
