1 year agoAny sources to back up that a vague amount of infrared of the eye region is so meaningfully essential to face recognition systems? My sunglasses reflect most visible light, and they reflect some infrared light, and they cost $5. Even granting that very shaky claim, infrared blocking materials aren’t that expensive, this seems like a gimmick to make up for big prices.
A mask and any sunglasses or hat will prevent facial recognition 1000x better I suspect.
uBlock on firefox here, no User Agent spoofing, videos load in ~1-2 seconds as normal still. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s used in nicher circumstances though.
