I swear if someone approaches me with these glasses they're going to find out just how fragile those frames are.

Complain to management about secret surveillance . That's how original Google glasses were defeated

No. They weren't defeated. They looked dumb and no one wanted to wear them all the time. They simply evolved into the type of glasses, which are now all over.

Defeated? Aren't we establishing right fucking here and now that they weren't defeated, just streamlined? Am I hallucinating this thread and comment I'm typing?

Ohh, right but Google and Meta are different. How did I not give one single fuck about that detail??? Man I'm stupid. Fucking IDIOT I am. Definitely not you. Me, I'm the stupid fucking moron. Not you.
