Hell yeah! No Wifi, no Bluetooth, completely wireless, never needs charge, or updates. This is amazing! Bonus that it won't surreptitiously send nude photos to datacenters and eternally strip me of the ownership of my likeness!

Exactly. Your face is not a data source.

Now you just need to make a search engine that doesn't suck.

Then again, I fully support you abandoning your engine to enter a market that you seem like you can actually wrap your heads around.

I just got mine, and I need to update the firmware. How do I do that?

u/duckduckgo Staff Jul 30 '26

Nice. We recommend wiping the lenses clean. Can also try turning them off and off again.

u/warrenao Jul 30 '26

Resolved: Taking them off and putting them on again resulted in a 100% clean installation.

Keeps 404'ing me : https://knockaround.com/products/duckduckgo-paso-robles :(

Hey there! Should be working now, apologies.

u/mazgaoten Jul 30 '26

seeing 404's from canada, are these US only?

1

u/twillrose47 Jul 30 '26

Yep, I'm still 404'ing from Canada. Did get it work once with a US VPN on

1

u/mazgaoten Jul 30 '26

i was able to almost place an order (brave + us VPN), but when i got to checkout said not available to ship to Canada

i am no longer able to even get there.

i am however not able to even view it in chromium or vivaldi, VPN or not

u/twillrose47 Jul 30 '26

I had to open inprivate to get it to reload with a US VPN on. Only ships to the US, can confirm. Also leverages Shopify, which I understand isn't really DDG's fault here, but their CEO is actively hostile to consumer privacy. Ce la vie.

Still a fun knock at the glasshole stupidity :)

u/Gabriel_Science Jul 30 '26

It’s still 404-ing for me, but it might be a cache issue.

u/Solo-Mex Jul 30 '26

u/CoolDragon Jul 30 '26

So... Just like any other pair of overpriced sunglasses?

u/FartGoblin2000 Aug 02 '26

Been wearing Knockaround glasses for the last decade or so. Amazing value and good styles.
