    Why can’t a company do smart glasses with self-hostable or fully local processing?

    I’d love a pair but fuck streaming everything I see to a random dude in Nigeria

      Well for one thing, it’s creepy and the people around you don’t want to be passively recorded 24/7.

      Remember Google Glass? Its users were called “glassholes” for a reason.

        Sadly, Meta’s glasses is less obvious, so that term is harder to use accurately.

          That’s why smart glasses with a hidden camera need to be banned by law.
          Or include punching people who film you as self defense, might be even more impactful.

      Self-hosted doesn’t mean “look how nice I am”. When a piece of tech is shit, it’s shit whether it is self-hosted or not.

        It’s not about being nice. It’s about me knowing where my data is.

          Are you a cybersecurity expert? Can you guarantee that the data you’ll collect with your secret agent glasses won’t end up in the open?

            Yes.

            Unless someone phyiscally breaks into my house and steals my server. Which would require a very targeted attack which again is WAAY out of scope in my (and everyone else’s) threat model

      The G2 augmented reality glasses fit that. No camera or microphone.

        But I want a camera and a microphone.

        I just want to use my own hardware to analyse whatever they’re recording.
