In addition to privacy concerns, why is it that every time battery capacity is improved, they find a new way to drain it? They don't even last a full day
Tech is so fucking cooked. They are clearly out of ideas and grasping at straws. This is the dumbest thing I've heard... So far.
They are building a mobile surveillance device that will collect them the data they need to compete with the other tech giants pursuing AI. They aren't grasping, it's calculated and intentional. You seem to still think they build consumer goods for our use and not for their own.
Agreed, but will people even buy them? I like to think not, but how many morons got new iPhones for "Apple intelligence"
Of course they will. The Apple tech ecosystem is intentionally restrictive for a reason. Their cultish consumer base will keep buying whatever over prices nonsense they sell next.
I bet you every latest iPhone carrier individual thinks that this is the coolest thing on the planet
It's joever, pack up
If you care about privacy move to a country that actually allows pro-human laws to pass instead of pro-capital
"People don't want cameras on their glasses"
"What if we put them on their airpods?"
We ostracized the glasses by calling them "pervert glasses"
We can do the same with "pervert pods"
Or pPods, if you will
Oh so they've learnt nothing from Meta's pervert glasses?
Amazon has these.
It’s happening.
🤢 every day I'm disappointed that Amazon is somehow still in business.
They know. They're willing to risk it for the data they'll get.
PervPods
You were SO close.
StarePods
Seems like Apple didn't get the memo as public opinion has turned on having cameras absolutely everywhere. I get that it's for "visual intelligence", but that's just some marketing to try and convince people this doesn't make you look as pervy as wearing the Meta Raybans.
Thiel needs the data. Remember they're working together.
Visible cameras being everywhere. People are dangerously tolerant of what they can't see.
So pervert air pods
Enters a Mexican restaurant. ICE arrives minutes after.
I guess they're out of ideas. When the original idea was to listen to shit in your ear.
I’m already kicking myself for buying into them in the first place. Fuck cameras, I’m going back to wired headphones. My $20 IEMs sound better than my AirPod pros, without all the fancy over processing.
I got myself a pair of moondrop chu’s and this is the way
Why the fuck
Sounds like a camera to me.
At this point, it seems like the only way out of this situation is the weaponization of EMPs. I’m not supporting that, I’d personally prefer if medical technology and refrigerators and similar things still worked, but if people don’t like cameras everywhere (and we can now very clearly see that they don’t) and companies insist on putting cameras into all types of technologies where they’re not always visible, where else could this lead?
"Hey siri what is on my foot" "hey siri" "hey siri" "hey siri what is on my foot"
So either private changing stalls in every locker room, or we go the starship troopers route where they have mixed showers and no one cares.
Sounds like they come with Visual Idiocy.
You can tell by seeing someone with them that they're a fucking idiot.
Wish Linux had cross device seamless operations like clipboard sharing and self hosted settings sharing
Obligatory KDE Connect comment.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
