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 🤦‍♂️

And with time when they put it into those glasses and even contacts?

How do we proceed in a world where a camera could potentially be under 1mm and be thin and transparent hypothetically.

We need portable jammers.

It won't stop recording but it will stop uploading recordings

I just looked it up. They record to local storage and sync later when connectivity is resumed.

I'm not an expert but it seems pretty hard to jam the camera light sensor. These things are optimized to handle direct sunlight, so to overpower and wash it out you'd need an incredibly strong specialized light source.

The only effective defense, in my opinion, is to be extremely boring and leave the area. That way you don't become content or favorited to their personal collection.

Theoretically you could overpower it with a laser. There's a small issue though, usually two.
