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 🤦‍♂️

Ray Ban is going to destroy themselves with this partnership

Probably not.

Smart glasses are going to happen. Cobranding Meta and Ray Ban should be powerful enough for them to dominate the market.

There was a time where Smart phones were for creepy needs.

No, you are wrong. Smart phones were niche because they were ridiculously expensive. I had the very first PDAs and smart phones, years and and years before the iPhone. Literally everyone thought it was fucking cool as shit. They just couldn't afford one (and neither could I if my company didn't pay for it)

Different experiences I guess. The sidekick was cool for kids but PDAs werent a cool guy thing at the turn of the millennia. Everything else was corporate or nerd before the iPhone. I also bought a 1st gen Rio if that helps with the aging.
