Meta glasses were caught spying on their users once more. Meta was quick to “fix” and therefore admit it: “This issue has been resolved…”

    I’m sorry, how are the glasses supposed to react to “Hey Meta” if they are not listening the entire time? Did people get so stupid in the meantime?

      I remember either Google or Amazon explaining that the delay between the “hey” and the “ready” is the entire OS booting up. Like, there’s a separate super-low-power chip that will only respond to “hey” whilst in standby. When it detects the keyword, the rest of the device comes to life.

      I’m not sure if they were telling the truth, but it’s plausible. The truth is always in the network payload.
