Story about low priced Anko branded competitor to Meta smart glasses. The story author calls out that despite Meta’s attempts to prevent recording if the LED is covered, it is easy to get around the block. I think it’s good for mainstream press to say it, so more ppl realize. They also call out that human moderators at Meta review their smart glasses footage. Inc videos of people having sex or using the toilet.
IDK if public backlash will nix the market for these, or if opposition will dry up and in 10 more years they will be mainstream tech like smartphones are today. I could see it going either way TBH.
It scares me that one of those timelines leads to a hellscape worse than the one we already have.



Wait, hold the fuck on a second… Australia still has K-Mart?
It’s a different company. Used to be a joint venture with the owner of the US brand, but it split off, and it’s completely separate now.

But in looking that up, I learned that Anko, the brand in the story, is K-Mart Australia’s house brand, I guess kinda like Great Value for US based Walmart.
