They already have a visible recording indicator. More importantly, many blind and visually impaired users rely on discreet design so assistive tech does not stigmatise them or put them at risk. Accessibility and privacy are not opposites.
Be more understanding.

This framing ignores a key reality the article fails to mention. For many blind and visually impaired users, smart glasses are an assistive technology that improves independence. Omitting that skews the narrative.

I wish I had the confidence of Google Search’s AI Overview when it presents information that is completely wrong.

Was I really that drunk in 1998 that I have no recollection of any song so far, or had I given up on popular music by that point #totp

TBH, I was expecting a 'my email account was hacked, and I never wrote those words' type response, not a 'I WRITTED DEM IN WOTSITAPP AND IT'S ONLY FOR LOLZ'

A quick crack across the shins from a stout walking stick delivered by a meek pensioner would soon make them understand the error of their ways.

Most family conversations today have started with 'do you remember X?', shortly followed by 'they died'. I'm beginning to wonder if there has been a purge in Wigan.

Just ordered a cappuccino and only realised the time when I sat down; don't think I got a look from the barista, but the internal shame is there.

Losing to Spurs yesterday took me back 30 years πŸ˜‚ All this winning just leads to disappointment ultimately so might as well be pragmatic about it.

Snow in Leigh. Will Dad risk his sacred Costa run? Doubt itβ€”he won't trust the buses, which are clearly part of his 'Andy Burnham's master plan for chaos' theory.
