Ha! For fuck sake !

TL;DR it’s spyware, CBC put a « privacy concern » 40-50 world at the end but the rest of the article is simping this « new technology »

    There’s no reason it has to be spyware, but it will be. For the last 15 years it’s all that Silicon Valley has been creating.

    I’m so sick and tired of these “people” coming up with solution looking for a problem.

    A cooling jacket is neat, but it’s not a new idea. Seeing behind my back is also nice but… idk, can’t you just strap LIDAR to a hard hat or something if you really need an alert? Don’t factories have curved mirrors installed just for this?

    The rest of the examples in the article seems useless to be honest. I don’t even know why they have to include bulletproof clothes using kevlar like some novel concept.

    I want a simple baseball cap or face mask that defeats facial recognition tech. Not shoes that tell me I walk wrong.

      Their argument: yeah! 1/4 Canadian wear wearable (mostly watch) so let’s put gait detection in their sole and range finder in their jacket so we they know when there’s someone near and if they walk ok

    I interact with my clothes enough. I handle them, put them on, wash and dry them - and occasionally I even work them over with an iron .

    This is just another product for those sad schmucks that feel the need to measure and ‘improve’ every single metric in their life. Not sure how well that will mesh with hallucinating AI-crap, but that’s their problem.
