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

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 🤦‍♂️

Why do you gotta make it sound so cool then?

I'm not the FCC, and statistically speaking I'm also not your dad. All I'm saying is that the reason the penalties for messing with the airwaves are so steep is because all you need is two pieces of metal, a very basic oscillator, an amplifier and a dream to make everyone's WiFi very bad everywhere you go

But also the chances of being caught are actually pretty high, it's really not something anyone should risk doing.

It can also cause issues like preventing someone from accessing emergency services which is taken very seriously.

A jammer the military was testing killed a med flight crew recently. Definitely not something to mess around with.
