Well they’re saying despite there being a light sensor it still can be easily circumvented by also covering the camera, not the LED, with your hand when starting to record and then just moving your hand away from the camera once the glasses are recording. I’ve definitely seen this tip shared and I think even an video of it in action.
They probably realize there’s no airtight way to prevent it anyway so they’ve added just some simple ways to make it a bit more difficult. It’s not like you couldn’t get camera glasses from some other company without these restrictions anyway if you’re determined to record without the light.



It seems like this is going to be extremely limited when it comes to what can be seen from the Bluesky side unless there’s either a way for Lemmy users to enable the bridge and many of them do it or the default policy of opt-in is changed for Lemmy instances.
IIRC there is a way to set the bridge to be enabled by default at the instance level so if Lemmy users were ok with that and instance admins decided to do it then that would result in this being much more useful.
