Meta warns some of its AI glasses may get 'too warm' if they get wet

Meta, the parent company of social media giant Facebook, has issued a warning that some of its AI-powered glasses may overheat if exposed to moisture. The company is offering free replacements for affected devices and has released a software update to address the issue, which it says affects a small number of glasses. Users with Meta-branded frames, including the Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova, and Capri models, are advised to update their software to version 130 and contact Meta Customer Service if they experience the issue.

The company has described the problem as rare but urges all users with Meta Glasses to update their software and be aware of the risk.
