I feel bad for laughing at this

If you know what you’re looking for, they’re not that difficult to spot. But, yeah, to most people, they would just appear to be regular sunglasses. This is a huge problem. It’s one thing when you’re being recorded by someone who is obviously holding a camera. It’s another one when, potentially, dozens of people around you could be recording everything all the time without anyone else, knowing it.

Not only is a potential for abuse incredibly high, the fact that Meta ends up owning all of the content so they can harvest it for monetary gain is even worse.

What next, Volkswagen?

Well, you are far from alone. I imagine that a majority of people will feel this way, especially when they are more privacy invasive than Google glass ever was.

Also, people are much more privacy focused than they were 15 years ago. I can imagine there will be significant pushback to wearing these glasses anywhere but in open, public spaces. Private establishments will likely ban them.

I remember when Google glass came out. I was living in New York, and almost every single establishment banned them nearly immediately. You wouldn’t be allowed in if you were wearing them, and if anyone saw you put them on, you get kicked out. No questions.

This happened in a lot of places, as I recall.

As long as it doesn’t burn my popcorn, I don’t care

Oh my God, let it go.

The operating system is free. Your decision to buy other stuff has nothing to do with the cost of macOS.

I’m sorry you simply can’t understand this. Sadly, you clearly can’t let this go, so I’m just gonna block you.

macOS is free. Get over it.

All operating system systems have hardware requirements. Just because you need to upgrade your system in order to get the latest operating system, doesn’t make the operating system any less free.

You are manufacturing connections that aren’t there in assigning meaning whether there isn’t any just cause you refuse to admit the fact that macOS is free. I guess you just hate Apple that much, but I try not to get so emotionally involved

Repeating the same absurd argument over and over doesn’t make it any more true.

AFAIK manufacturers don’t have to pay for Linux And if MacOS is really free you would be able to manufacture and sell devices using it but there is not a single one

That’s not what free means here. “Free“ as in costs no money for the user. Can download and install it without having to pay for it. Because it is free. You’re using the word “free” to means something obviously different than what I’m talking about.

MacOS is free just like Windows is free (the license is included in your purchase of the hardware). Except windows isn’t free. It cost is enumerated on the invoice. macOS is not. Because it is free.

So yeah idk

Obviously, you don’t know because you keep saying things that are very, obviously not true. Are you feeling OK?

You have to pay money to buy the computer you used to run Linux. So, by your logic, Linux isn’t free either. You see how this argument is nonsense.

And you can speculate all you like about how Apple makes money to pay for its developers. I don’t know, they make this other thing called the iPhone that seems pretty popular. I bet that makes them a lot of money.

“no u!”

is not a very convincing argument. I’m sorry you want to turn this into some sort of psychological mind game. But the fact remains that macOS is free. I’m sorry you struggle so much to accept that.

And if you equate “stating facts” with “acting in bad faith”, then that’s your own problem.

I can hardly be blamed for not participating in another person’s delusion. Or yours.

macOS is free. But you’re free to try to prove otherwise. A lot of people have tried and failed hilariously.

So what?

That doesn’t change the fact that macOS is free.

Now you’re just talking to yourself.

macOS is free, and no one here has been able to give a single shred of evidence to prove to the contrary.

You have to pay for hardware to run any operating system.

Nowhere in the license does it say that macOS cost money.

So, no, it’s not evidence of what you claim.

Why? I’m right. It’s a fact that macOS is free.

Also free. Because macOS is free.

Prove it
