I know how we solve this; no wireless communication at all; the glasses are dial up 56k only. And not that fancy V.92; I’m talking 56k flex.
Australia saw smart glasses and said: what if Google Glass, but with better cameras and worse boundaries? A workplace ban is understandable where confidential data is everywhere. But calling it world leading feels premature: the real challenge is writing privacy rules that survive the next pair of glasses too, not just banning today’s model.
Ban those and ban Google products.
I see TimTams mentioned and I gotta say how good they are. If you haven’t tried them, you need to. So good!
Like the world leading social media ban, how's that working out for them?
