THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULDNT BUY THEM
no one wants more biometric data in meta's hands
you severely overestimate the amount normies care about this sort of thing
Maybe we can get glasses with unobtrusive IR transmitters that produce random noise to confuse such systems
wont happen A: every non stupid cam today auto flags ppl who think IR strobing there own faces would help.
B: in daylight this would require power output that would drain mobile setups to quick
C: maybe the cam has a select-able IR filter then it would do nothing.
D: maybe the cam is a Thermal cam and hence not impressed at all by the blinking
E: Given u cover your face, they will fingerprint you by your walking style
F: all the above dosent even matter since you are constantly tracked by your smartphone and the smartphnes around you via your Mac address of your WIFI and BT chips (and no its not as easy as puting the thing in airplane mode lmao)
Not getting tracked in a Dense urban environment has become basically not possible. Unless you leave your Electronics devices at home and hide under a big cardboard box while traveling. But then u will be known as the traveling cardboard box wich will put u on the radar again....so...i dont know how to escape this anymore.
Is there a way to stop this, like walking differently?
Put a couple pebbles in your shoes, just enough to mess up your usual walk.
yes, here is a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8
