The idea is it reflects IR and blows out the exposure.
But IR Is only on during low light conditions.
I’m just pointing out that it’s not IR blocking, it’s IR reflecting.
The sun emits IR in non low light conditions
Prove it
I agree with your sentiment. Security is trust but verify kind of field and some proof from a third party to kind of audit this claim would be great.
Also it's not the guy you linked to jobs lol
Nope, security is an archetypal verify before trust kind of field.
You I guess it more depends on the threat model. That can also be a fully valid stance as well
Prove what? I’m merely relaying the info from the article you didn’t read.
...what you said? That these lenses reflect IR and blow out the exposure.
...the paywalled article? Yeah, didn't read it.
