on Zuckerberg's Pervert Glasses Have Been So Publicly Shamed That Meta's Reportedly Now Working on a Version With No Camera in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 17 Sep 2026
My phone is wicked smaht as they say. It can easily run detection algorithms fully locally. It already knows peoples faces I’ve tagged in my photos, where I am, what’s my agenda etc.
All the glasses need to do is interface with the phone for all tasks they can’t manage internally.
A smartwatch, but as glasses if you will.
Also if I do want any internet/cloud access, I trust my phone to do that in a way I prefer instead of just giving everything to Zuck’s ad machine.

There was a dude 3D printing brightly coloured clip ons to cover the camera. Not a bad idea.
Still not touching that shit until someone comes out with one with zero cloud connectivity

Because I don’t understand. Really.
An “ad” for me is “buy Charm paper towels” or “install app you don’t have”.
“Continue watching Reacher Season 3” is not an ad.
For you it is?

So a “continue watching” or “new on amazon prime” is an AD now?
You can just move them off the top row and you get no “ads”. Only put stuff with no previews in there.

Wtf? Where? I have three and zero ads.
If I select a top row app, that application can “advertise” what’s new on the top half of the screen. That’s it.

Apple TV the device has no ads, zero, nada.

The person in question was German. Microsoft found suspicious images on their Skydrive and shut down the whole MS account, Xbox and all.
What was it? Pictures of his kids on the beach, which the puritan American algorithm determined as evil

Every cloud provider scans their storage, because the law is like that.
People have gotten their MS accounts closed when Onedrive was still called Skydrive due to automated scans finding suspicious activity

What ”launcher”? The TV app? You can just move it away. There is no launcher anywhere, every service along with AppleTV+ is just a separate application

And Google spyware is all open source?

Not at this scale. Remember that Apple is a hardware company first. They make money from hardware and app stores.
Google is the worlds largest ad company who dabble in hardware and services to increase their ad revenue.

What? There’s one icon that says “TV”. You can move it to the bottom and you won’t see any apple stuff beyond that.

on 216,000,000 LG Smart TVs are spying on you - Gamers Nexus in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 7 Sep 2026
A Samsung TV did this a few years ago, story on Reddit and HN.
It found an open passwordless WiFi and connected to it.

Not a popular answer, but Apple TV is the best out of the box experience. Zero ads, massive longevity. Mine is like 7 years old and still running the latest tvOS.
If you have the cash and inclination, Nvidia Shield is the hackers choice. Zero hardware upgrades in years tho, but software aplenty.
Just don’t let your smart TV access the internet in any situation, there’s no need. It’s just a stupid display.

And his “wand” is a massively heavy piece of metal nobody was able to move it for a 1000 years or something. He just casually picked it up 😆

on Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AI in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
Booksellers “carry” utter shit.
Guess what they do when the book is refunded by the publisher due to bad sales? They cut off the covers and send them back as proof. The pages are destroyed. Nobody bats an eye.
No publisher or bookseller wants to carry 50000 copies of Joe Bob’s “How to cook maggots” when it flopped
Also how do you know if my fanfic is a physical book sold at a store or not? 😀

Rare doesn’t automatically imply valuable, useful or anything like that.
My Anthony Fauci x Drowsy Don fanfic is “rare”, but nobody including me would bat an eye if it was destroyed.

on YouTube announces monetization changes that make it harder for new creators to make money in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
Beginning February 1, 2027, creators who have 10 million qualified Shorts views over the last 90 days will be eligible for ads and subscription revenue sharing on Shorts.
3.3 million views a month isn’t exactly new creator levels
Basically if a thing has a reliable second hand market, people will be more inclined to buy them.
DVDs for the longest time had no market, you couldn’t give them away. Now it’s picking up again. Blurays even more so.
