The bug is fixed, but privacy concerns remain.
they put the arse into arstechnica by pretending this is a bug
Bug as in a clandestine listening device, yes.
Bug was that it saved a user visible transcript of those uninitiated recordings. Bug is fixed and it’ll save a transcript of prompted coversations only.
For the user, yes.
Yeah. Why do I get a feeling that the fixee bug was the saving conversations part and not the non-consensual eavesdropping.
Easiest way to not have your glasses recording everything you do is weirdly enough not to have glasses that record everything you do. Weird suggestion I know, but 100% foolproof
Abstinence!
Also avoid hanging out with anyone who wears them.
Like what are you doing that’s so fucking important that you need special glasses to record it? Why not use normal cameras at that point which are not connected to Facebook shit?
I’m also surprised someone with glasses like this hasn’t been subpoenaed if they were present at the scene of a crime, then convicted as an accomplice because the argument was made they saw it happen and did nothing about it. An example would be you’re shopping, someone nearby steals something, and you didn’t see them because you were looking down, but your glasses recorded them anyway.
BugFeatureWe’re supposed to believe this was a ”bug”? 😂
Maybe in the eavesdropping definition of that word.
Great job by Ray Ban. I’ve owned a few over the years but this partnership has made sure I will never buy one again 👍🏻
Actually not that hard. There are plenty of smaller independent sunglass manufacturers
