GoogleDuckDuckGo "Tactical Pen"
Save money and get a spring loaded center punch at a hardware store.
Or one of these. It blends in better with the rest of your pens in a bag.

What is that first one used for? It's grouped with leatherworking tools when I look at it.

Center punch for drilling holes. It makes a little indent in whatever (leather, metal, wood) so your drill bit doesn't walk from your center mark, or sometimes in the case of leather, give you a starting point for your awl.

it sounds good, until you realize that it needs not only AR glasses, but one with built in cameras.
such glasses need to be banned yesterday. AR glasses are obviously not the problem, but basically walking always on cameras are
Ban them? No.
While there are misuses and privacy invasions, they still can be beneficial for some people. Bracket bans only harm those who can truely benefit from it (visual impaired, deaf, folks who need translations etc )

all AR glasses need cameras. that's how they figure out where in the R to put the A.
not really. AR glasses don't have to be aware of your surroundings, they can just place content relative to where you look, and they can use a gyroscope as a compass for more advanced things. maybe there are other sensors that would be useful too while being compatible with privacy.
of course they won't be able to place apps on your fridge, or run search on anyone coming by on the street, but it can still be very useful

yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.
ok, maybe I wasn't clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don't send you home for it.
folks who need translations
they can point their phones' focused camera on the text they want to translate.
for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.
yes, I'm also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system

Oh that's actually convenient... For $3 I will have to pick one up.

Special permits are a non issue. Disguised in any way cameras should be banned outright tbh

I'm starting to think that without the advertisement industry that the whole world's capitalistic societies would collapse. Where else is value so subjective that you can earn a million bucks if you are slightly famous and in a 30 second commercial.
I honestly don't understand ads and people who "fall" for them. There were a few local ads here of locally famous footballer next to a Hyundai and a slogan like: blabla gives Hyundai two thumbs up.
Why would he care? What does he know about cars? He's not even pretending to drive a Hyundai irl. -
