I can understand that perv/smart glasses could be very useful for the visually impaired, but otherwise there’s a fair amount of distrust around them. If I were you, I’d try out a cheaper non-Meta alternative to limit any investment in tech that may be banned in the future:

Meta are a company that work against democracy (see the Cambridge Analytica scandal for merely one instance) and should definitely be avoided. There’s also specific apps that detect if someone near you is wearing Meta Perv glasses (e.g. https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/31/antizuck-ios-app-that-claims-to-detect-nearby-smart-glasses-tops-app-store-chart/ so I can imagine a few drivers getting enraged if they realise that they’re being recorded like that.

That’s all well and good, but what about the cheap Aldi washing up liquid?

Purely decorative calipers, I’m afraid.
Incidentally, the tyres are the biggest tyres that LEGO has manufactured.
Just in case you’re not aware, but a lot of people visit Road.cc for the “wisdom” in the comments under the articles. With the new website, it seems that commenting is made more difficult and this is going to reduce the amount of engagement with long-time visitors. When the number of comments drops off, I guess you’ll see the amount of traffic dropping off too, which I guess is not what you actually want.
I recommend that you fix the commenting quickly as it’d be a shame to see Road.cc disappear just because of a borked upgrade.
Looks like the IMG tags don’t work now in comments. They did a few days ago, so I don’t know if that’s by design.
Huh, just discovered that once a comment thread goes 4 deep, you can’t reply to the comments.
Okay, after giving the site redesign a few days to settle down and for me to get used to it, I really don’t like the new look. There’s too much whitespace which makes it more awkward to read the comments. The lack of comment quoting and editing is a negative too.
I don’t like the change to the “Latest Comments” – I preferred it when it showed only the latest comment on each of the more recent threads/topics. That made it easy to read the most relevant articles, whereas now there’ll be multiple links to the same article due to it having the most recent comments and other articles will fall off the carousel.
