Quick! It’s spreading! We need the Rocky Horror Containment Protocol!

This is my plan. If I ever see a showing locally, I’ma try to make sure it’s the “immersive experience” everyone promises

I have to wonder how long they can run on community goodwill. With handhelds like the Steam Deck and similar, surely it’s gotta be only a matter of time until they have to change or die.

I hope these get litigated to death or else people feel peer pressure at being an asshole for buying them.

The fun thing is that with novel cases, the law can change. There’s currently no precedent for AI Camera Glasses, and the law(s) I cited were created before anything like this was even a real possibility for the average person.

And re: phones—you can see that’s a camera. Also, they have a bright LED that indicates recording. These glasses do not.

I get your cynicism, but we do not yet live in the dystopian plutocracy where companies get to do whatever they want with impunity (just a lot of it). Unless you’re a lawyer, I’m not inclined towards your opinion.

The info on that page is a little dated but mostly accurate (there’s still 11 states that require two-party consent for recording a conversation, for example). There’s other sources you can find.

I’m not saying it’s a slam dunk case against devices like this, but it’s not like it’s especially common for people to walk around with what are essentially covert cameras on their faces. It’s something for future courts to decide, and I could see an argument against them on these grounds.

Again, I’m NAL.

Several states have anti-spying laws that require disclosure that you’re recording them. I expect we’ll see an uptick in lawsuits about this issue, which will force Meta to revise their device or will cause a chilling effect on their sales.

I have never seen the movie, but I absolutely would play this game.

It was okay. Walz was the nice dad. Vance was the slimy, mudslinging worm he is, a true politician in every negative sense of the word.

Walz was too nice and charitable towards Vance and gave him credit on certain issues, and Vance didn’t return it in kind.

Vance lied through his teeth and wouldn’t answer a single goddamn question. Spent most of his time saying how terrible Kamala was and almost none about how Trump would be good for people.

I left thinking it was an okay performance from both, but I suspect people will remember Vance being a greasy little weasel and Walz being a nice dad. Overall, a net positive for Harris/Walz, but only a little.

Naturally. I can hope for it, but I would never expect them to counter-sue. They’re the person harmed, so they get to decide what justice looks like for them, and sometimes people just want to go back to normal.

Sanctions are really the only thing the judge has at their disposal, and I doubt Nintendo’s lawyers are dumb enough to get sanctioned.

Go for it, Nintendo. Emulation has already been proven in courts to not be sufficient evidence for wrongdoing. Also:

However, its latest move feels particularly heavy-handed, as it has issued a copyright strike against a YouTube channel that reviews emulation handhelds.

Go fuck yourself. I hope you get hit with an anti-SLAPP across your litigious faces.

Neat. I’ll take a closer look later, but this sounds like an interesting project

And this is why I haven’t installed Teams on my personal computer. If it was less invasive, I would, but it’s just potential bossware masquerading as “productivity tools.”

That shit stays on my work computer, and I just VPN into it.

That’s why I still use FF. I wish they were run by better people, but it’s still not on par with Google’s shit.

And they still offer useful features/services like email masks, cookie containers, and a VPN (which is rebranded Mullvad). If they were awful bad actors, they would be running their own exit nodes and surreptitiously collecting user data that way.

TBH, we’d probably all do well to use the internet a little less

I had forgotten why I dropped Brave. This was why.

I like your idea. But you’ll have to settle for being a fish.

Probably won’t happen until Millennials and younger are in meaningful numbers in Congress or Parliament or whatever. A few Gen X politicians might be affected, but the rest probably don’t have gigantic digital libraries of things they’ve “bought.”

I would have considered a folding book-style phone if I wanted a tablet. I agree that they’re likely the only viable use case that isn’t a complete gimmick.

Sounds like some firmware updates are in order.
