Camera
Goodbye privacy…
If you think you have privacy in public spaces, I got some news for you. People could be and are recording you all the time. Not even counting CCTV and infrastructure recording you.
In a mall? You most likely already have two or three cameras pointing at you at all time. In a street? There’s a few at every street corner.
Mall CCTV isn’t going on Tiktok for the lulz. People don’t care much about privacy from the state or police, people absolutely care about being picked on by random people.
Oh, you’re gonna love this, then… 🤪🥲 Extracting (via telescope) from target device LEDs: any/all nearby audio, up to 35m away? That’s nothing.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Goodbye EU market, too.
What is the use case for such a device? Outside of being completely invasive to everyone around you.
My partner has always commented that she wanted basically a dashcam but for while walking the dog, so this seems to fit the bill.
To basically catch e.g. if a cyclist hits you or something.
That’s what I don’t really understand. It doesn’t solve an issue that anyone is having.
It just looks like a more inconvenient to use phone that you can only do voice commands, or maybe finger gestures in the air to control.
I have a feeling it’ll be very disappointing in what it can actually do, this just feels like something no one will buy other than YouTubers.
Really makes me think of the movie “Her”. I’ve wanted a T-shirt with a dedicated phone pocket since that movie but this tech seems like a better option.
This is something out of Her…
This is basically the only reason the built it… this pin doesn’t even seem to do anything but will definitely pick up some clicks on headlines comparing it to Her
Privacy concerns aside, this is a pretty good solution for phones that are getting increasingly large.
Phones get larger because people want a big screen to do stuff. What do you do with a small phone with a screen so small that you can’t read it?
This nonsense here with the projector is also not a good solution because you would need a white background for the projector to work properly.
In this area of sci fi tech I think the google glasses are better.
