Inside the world of men who use smart glasses to secretly film women

So, firstly - fuck Meta. However, VIDEO CAMERA GLASSES are a thing. Not smart/AI/internet glasses. Just video camera glasses. And they're less than $50 on Amazon for a pair of 1080p, or a little more for 4K. Obviously don't be a creep and do shit like what OP's article talks about, but they'd be a h

What was your worst impulse buy of 2025?

I've only used a OneBlade for about the last 10 years šŸ¤” Went a bit mad around my birthday and bought the gen2 RayBan Meta glasses. Complete waste of a large amount of money. Regret.

Ochelari Smart?

Salut! Am RayBan Meta Gen 2, sunt pasionat de tehnologie și i-am testat destul de mult. Nu cred ca as putea sa recomand cuiva sa cumpere acest produs. Cam orice flagship este cu mult peste ei (evident, ochelarii au senzor mult mai mic, alt software, etc…). Dar nu m-aș baza pe a face poză cu ochelari

Quality Alternatives to the Meta Glasses?

Lol. I did't want to support meta either, but I did just buy the Ray-Ban meta wayfarer (gen 1?) on sale at Walmart for $220. And they are awesome. I looked into alternatives but idk it's hard to know what to think. Alot of the alternates on Amazon have terrible reviews

Now that 2026 is here I have a couple of questions for y'all

Totally agree but I kinda feel like Meta is not prioritizing this which does make sense considering there's less number of these compared to regular Rayban or Oakley Metas. I was hoping around Christmas we'd get a big update but it looks like we gotta wait

Should I trade in my Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 for Gen 2 or sell it myself?

Jump is worth it You can get $190-210 on ebay minus fees. Would sell privately / on ebay for sure. I’ve personally used live streaming (gen 1 only feature for now) multiple times and it’s been pretty cool. Only issue is battery dies pretty quickly as a result. But you can get the Carina C1 while it’

Oakley Meta Vanguard Charging Case Stuck - Won't Charge Any Higher, Need Help!

That worked perfectly for me I was having the same issue recently and I only had got them 2 months ago. I had to do it with the plug in at the same time it blinks blue then white and my case went from the stuck 13% to the actual 100%. Meta support sucks and the constant updates make your device act

Seriously, nearly 20 days after order, still no shipping updatez

Meta has very little intrest in selling these over the Gen 2 Ray Ban meta. They actually make money on those.

Quick question for anyone who did a Meta Display replacement.

Hehe I think is both… they were not expecting quite the demand they had and Best Buy screwed them up with product launch… so they’re playing catch up But so far today the messaging in-store, chat, phone and WhatsApp has been consistent and they’re looking at previous conversations as they know why I

AirPod glasses replacement

I get what you’re saying, $700 for glasses with built in display is not terrible. But given the Even G2s don’t have speakers, I’m down to the Meta Display and I don’t want to pay $300 for a ā€œgimmickā€ - it’s a really cool feature but not a priority in my books. I’ve narrowed down my choices to the Ra
