I bought this but ultimately returned it as it didn't really solve any problems due to being a complete walled garden with very sparse functionality right now

I bought this but ultimately returned it as it didn't really solve any problems due to being a complete walled garden with very sparse functionality right now It's a cool form factor but the built-in transcription, ai etc are not very well implemented and I cannot imagine a user viewing this as essential rather than a novelty gadget

  Not enough. I am not putting any hardware on my nose if I can't fully control the software running on it. Is the OS open source?

    This is pretty low level access. The phone you are going to pair it with and is providing network access is definitely more closed than this.

      It is bad that phones are closed. But, at least they aren’t stuck to our faces and able to observe our every move.

        These glasses don’t have a camera.

        Ah, my mistake, I just assumed. Well, in that case the lack of openness is less of an issue.

      No, it isn't

      My phone is running an open source OS that I have low-level control of.

  Seems they even included a hard-coded API key for DeepSeek's API that still work, doesn't exactly leave great confidence in their engineering.

    If you share that API key here... - we all get to use free LLM - they'll learn to do it properly next time So it's a win-win situation
    - embedding-shape 11mo ago
      If I instead don't, and let you know that the key is there in the source code, hopefully at least one deserving person might learn how to look through source code better, and none of the lazy people get it :) So no.
