Less creepy Meta glasses

Meta is constantly trying to get around attempts to prevent people from recording others without their permission.

One workaround lets you start recording and then cover the light, but Meta is rolling out a patch that'll stop recording as soon as the light is blocked, keeping others safe and secure.

These so-called "anti-pervert" features are great and necessary to ensure people feel safe around those wearing Meta Glasses. Will users figure out ways around the safety blocks? Probably, but at least we know Meta is ready to deal with any new workarounds that may emerge.

"We have an update coming to increase the reliability of the capture LED on our AI glasses. The camera won’t start recording if the LED is blocked, but some people try to bypass this by starting a recording and then covering it up. A fix for this is starting to roll out - the camera will now stop working if the light is covered during a recording

We're gearing up for IFA

Berlin is about to come the capital city of the world of tech next week, and our team is gearing up to head over and cover all the latest announcements — testing brand new tech to see whether it's worth your hard-earned money.

Here are our predictions for what to expect!

GTA 6 looks incredible

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED

After all the leaks, we got our first full extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, and to me, it looks amazing. This kind of graphical fidelity on a base PS5 is crazy work from Rockstar Games, and the team have managed to make Vice City feel truly alive — bringing some of the social RPG elements from Red Dead Redemption 2 and tying it altogether with some incredible-looking gameplay.

Fingers crossed my PTO request is approved for November 19 when this comes out. You can preorder your copy now.
