That’s the idea. Most of this type of media is meant to serve as a warning, not a roadmap. Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t glorification of fighting a dystopia, a warning that if we allow this dystopia to happen, we have no option but to fight from a worse position.
Just because I don’t believe you doesn’t mean I care one way or the other.
Well if it’s dumb enough, you wouldn’t want to input information that would be harmful if it got out anyway. Just stick to text and calls and you’ll be fine. Just don’t click on any links from people you don’t know.
Yup. It’s really not that hard, or as expensive as you might think. That’s why… I think it was Obama(?) that said that 100% privacy is impossible. It wasn’t about just the government, but your phone is always trasnmitting something, and unless it’s encrypted beyond the simple IP designations to keep overlap from happening, it’s out there.
People think it’s secure because they’re not picking up others phone calls anymore but it’s just an invisible wire. A completely unprotected, digital wire. And that wire can be tapped into with the right equipment and knowledge. Whether that’s the government, someone trying to steal your information to sell or use your credit card/bank info, or just the paranoid conspiracy theorist down the street with a suspicious amount of antennas.
They can even be mobile, it’s small enough to fit in the trunk of a car and you can block 4/5G signals forcing phones in the area down to 2G which is completely unencrypted. They can then transmit a fake text to you with a phishing link. So you should check your settings for an option to block your phone from dropping to 2G.
Ohh ok I gotcha. Yeah normally you’d have to leave the device discoverable to find it, but you could probably get around that, by just searching for devices transmitting? I’m not sure if meta glasses record stuff to the glasses themselves or if they need to be connected to another device to function. If they can record to the glasses, it’d be harder, but if they need to be connected then you could find them.
Your phones settings and a Bluetooth device have to have discovery on to connect, but not to detect. So your phone would normally just ignore something like that, but it still detects it. This would just use detection that would be behind the veil of your phone that “normal users” would be interested in.
Imagine being on a subway and trying to connect your earbuds, and having to go through a list of every single transmitting Bluetooth device in your vicinity. So your phone typically ignores anything already connected and not discoverable. The way I would do it is to open up that list of detectable, but not discoverable devices, and search for the identifier of the meta glasses. However, like I said, if they can record internally, it could be much harder to discover, especially if the user is savvy enough to keep it in that mode, and disable Bluetooth every time they go out to use them.
I’m pretty sure you could have it on without being discoverable, but Im not positive. Either way, having it on opens a door id rather not just leave open.
Wouldn’t it also require authorization and use of your Bluetooth connection?
I love that it sounds like dark 80s pop. I have a friend that I told square hammer was about Freemasonry because he’s a mason. Took like 2 years of listening to it before he really caught the lyrics.
“they’re not ‘heavy metal’, and not really satanic”
People just struggle to put them in a category, and that hurts some people’s brains but I really dig it.

They had a good song recently “she keeps me up”.
That was really what gave everyone the ick. But I defy anybody to say they can’t name at least 2 songs of theirs they liked. My mom liked chocolate starfish so much when I was listening to it that she went out and bought her own copy.
He uhh always has been and still is as far as I’m aware. He talks down to everyone, even the camera. And him tearing apart movies was the most obnoxious thing. We know Neil, we know.
Holy crap, 4 hours?!?
Yes, it was after
For sure, but for how long?
You’re also forgetting dumping a shit ton of money into an unprofitable pit that never meets expectations.
I believe I am. I was dumb enough to make mistakes in my life like joining the US army. That’s just one example but I’ve spent my later years encouraging people to make better choices than I have. I try to help people in their thought process over their “instincts”. Even if I didn’t do straight up evil in my life, I certainly observed it. I have spent my later life trying to keep people from making mistakes that will haunt them forever.
I’m certainly not zen by any means, I’m not perfect. But my hope is that people don’t have the weight on their shoulders that I do. And its not just about saying no to joining the military. It’s about having compassion for others. Actively finding compassion through understanding. I have turmoil over the regrets I have in life and I hope to lead people to avoid that by teaching them using the lessons I’ve learned in life. So yeah, I’ve done bad things, making me not a great person, but I use that experience to help others find a better path. I don’t know if I can cleanse my “soul” or whatever. But my hope is that I can keep others from tarnishing theirs.
I still consider myself a good person because I’ve never done anything with evil intentions, and even when I was put into situations where I’ve been confronted with options to do so, I haven’t done them. And when I’ve been put into situations where I had no option, I did what I could to avoid them. And now I encourage others to avoid them at all costs so they don’t have that weighing on them. I feel I’ve done more good than harm by advocating thought and introspection over going with the flow than by ignoring the voice.
The people that look up to me for serving, I tell them it’s not a good thing. I tell them there’s no heroism in it. You don’t go to war and come out as iron man or thor. You come out dysfunctional at best. And I think I’ve made people understand the true cost of doing harm to others, even in self defense, that it isn’t free of charge on your consciousness.
For the police too, right?
