Sooooo not anti-pervert and a generic publicity stunt. Haha please laugh etc. Don’t have anything against DDG but can only roll my eyes at something like this
Right. Anti-pervert glasses would at least require some lasers to meet the requisite qualifications.
Fair - it’s marketing.
But it’s good marketing - lambasts a stupid thing that people dislike to promote a product that is selling the opposite (privacy).
Good goal, and the marketing is clearly working here we are talking about it.Also DDG browser is awesome on mobile and Windows. Blocks many ads and trackers, even on YT. Lightweight, wicked fast, offers not only private search but private AI chat.
Use DDG Because Gemini is SUPER creepy when it inserts personal info in unrelated questions. It keeps inserting my family details in answering unrelated questions now… Like a perv.
You can hide your eyes with the anti light version of the anti pervert glasses!
I have only read the title but this just seems like… Normal glasses then?
So it’s not anti-pervert then. It’s just non-pervert.
Anti-pervert would be something like sunglasses that zap the pervert sunglasses’ cameras with lasers and damage the sensor. Maybe they don’t have to be so accurate.
There are infrared reflecting glasses that blind cameras.
Maybe a sort of anti pervert mesh network where gamma radiation is fired in the direction of whoever wears pervert glasses and eventually kills them with cancer.
It’s incredibly irresponsible and would have unintended consequences for otherwise innocent people but it would technically work so capitalism says ship it before China does!
I wish DDG defaulted to their no ai search.
If they want to make silly little jokes about “the other guys and their ai” then maybe don’t use ai shit as your default search option on your own platform?
“No camera, no microphone, no AI, no battery, no electronics of any kind,” Knockaround boasts on its website. “Just a beautifully crafted pair of matte black sunglasses with a glossy DuckDuckGo logo, designed to block the sun and never send data to the cloud
$39 is probably still a huge markup.
They’re barely making back the research costs of producing sunglasses without a lithium-polymer battery or a 12 megapixel CMOS camera.
THE ABOVE COMMENT IS SARCASM.there’s no extra markup involved here for what is essentially a marketing thing.
they’re $35. which is also the price the ‘normal’ (not ‘collab’ edition) ones sell for direct on ka’s web site or at retailers like rei.
Meanwhile, I recently got new prescription glasses (after wearing my previous pairs for way too long, BTW) and got some that have an IR-blocking coating that’s supposed to block face recognition cameras. Because that apparently needs to be a thing these days.
(I’m disappointed that these DuckDuckGo glasses don’t have a similar special coating. I like the company I got mine from, but I’d like to see more companies offering privacy-enhancing tech.)
What, no company names to help out a fella?
I didn’t want to give the appearance of shilling. But if you want to know, it’s https://www.zennioptical.com/id-guard
There are apparently also similar products from “Reflectacles” and “Vaydr,” but they were more expensive and/or not normal prescription glasses. The Zenni thing is just an extra coating you can add on to the glasses you would have otherwise bought anyway (which is how I found out about it; I didn’t know it existed beforehand).
Thanks! It’s wild that this is a thing now. It’s like we’re living in a cyberpunk dystopia!
Is this now not not not the onion?
“2. Only tech related news or articles.”
Ironically actual meta
…but does it have electrolytes?
Brawdo’s got what plants crave.
Unperverted Glasses
lol
Sold out and I can’t seem to pre-order a pair for their next batch (maybe the next allotment is already sold out).
Oh well, my wallet wins this round.
We have Ray-Ban glasses.
Yeah, I love my ray-bans but I don’t think I’ll be buying another pair as long as they are making pervert glasses. I feel kinda gross wearing them, afraid people will think they are the pervert kind… kinda like wearing a red hat
