Cancel the appointment right on the spot and tell them it’s the glasses.

Baffling that the chain did not immediately respond with "we introduced new rules requiring all our stores not to allow smart glasses or other recording devices in their treatment rooms". Seems so obvious, yet we see nothing like that in the article.

Fucking lady still went through with it and I bet money it recorded everything. I bet meta powers them on even if you don't opt in. Just like when our phonrs turn on record even if we don't want them to.

Unlikely - the battery wouldn't last long enough. Also it would be at least a product-ending event if it ever got out. Clearly not worth the risk.

Sure, it may not last long enough for a video, but what if it just wanted to click some low-res pictures at some interval?
And then using data from that, decide when to take a high-res one?

Out of all the ways to secretly record, that has to be one of the dumbest and most conspicuous ones. It's fake nose and glasses from the dollar store level stupid.
