Hey all,

Just bought a Rayban sunglasses (picture attached: Ray-Ban RB3467). The same day, when I got home, I've noticed that the temple tips (outlined in the pic attached) is not glued to the temple stick.

So, whenever I need to remove the sunglass, I need to be extremely careful because the tips will detach itself from the stick abit (around 2mm).I went back to the shop and they told me that its normal. The even told me that they contacted Rayban and the latter said it was normal; but frankly, I don't agree with this answer.

Since there's no official Rayban shop in my country, I've sent Rayban USA a mail asking them if its normal. I'm not from the US but its only on their website that I've found a contact page (not answer yet). Personally, the sunglasses is a bit expensive, but it really helps while driving.

So, if any of you good peeps know any rayban shop in their region, please do me a favor (pretty please with a bunny pic) and try to get some info regarding my issue; whether the tips are not glued, and that actually the issue I'm having is normal.

Much thanks for any help.

Can you not just glue them yourself if it bothers you? Seems like a lot of hassle you are going through for something that you can sort out in minutes.

Although I haven't had Raybans, I have had other glasses where this is the same and the ends do move a little.

All my pairs of Ray Bans have been like that. Very rarely did it come off though.

However, I would take them back, they should replace them on the spot within the warranty period. That's how it is in Australia anyway.

Thanks for the answers.

The thing is that I know I can glue them, and close the chapter. But I paid something for $239 which is supposed to be new, so I expect it to be "issue-free". I don't want to buy something brand new, and then I do some gluing on it on the same day.

I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say.

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
