    I think these were derived using old facial rec tech. Newer stuff defeats the awesome makeup of the cyberpunk future.

        It appears there are newer looks (some of which are featured in the image above) which worked in early 2023.

          There’s always a good ole’ covid face mask, sunglasses and a hat too, I would think, no?

          I also just read that there are “IR reflective sunglasses” that do this:

            While I go about in public similarly to this because I just hate tracking, in certain situations or places obscuring your face with a mask may be illegal.

            Also neat sunnies. For a while I’ve wanted to make a necklace with IR LEDs to just blast out cameras. Never considered reflective stuff for privacy. Obviously this makes you highly visible on cameras, but it’s a great tool for privacy from machines and mass surveillance.

              True, but AFAIK that only applies to a few counties (counties? is that what they’re called?) in USA that are either full of anti-vaxx shitstains or just hate the Palestine protesters.

              I could be wrong but that’s the only time I’ve heard that confirmed.

                  Where are you referring to? You should be wearing a mask for Covid anyway.

                    https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Documents/respiratory-surveillance-20240928.pdf pretty low levels rn mortality in normal ranges. In urban centers you probably should, but that’s also true in a world without sars-2.
