    A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation involving battery capacity and power consumption puts that idea to bed.

        Recording from a camera consumes upwards of 1W on mobile platforms. With the ~160mAh battery in Ray Ban Meta smart glasses, the battery would last about 40 minutes, assuming they are doing nothing else. Given that the radio needs to be powered to upload that footage somewhere, and doing all this will keep the SoC in a higher wake state, that is a very optimistic upper bound.

        I’m sorry that you and everyone who downvoted me think that hating on Meta is more real than physics.
