Comment on Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking
Auth@lemmy.world 1 week agoA lot of people genuinely find Fast Pair to be a big improvement over traditional Bluetooth pairing. So why is it such a bad idea for a company to design a protocol that solves the problem? Also Bluetooth pairing has had its own share of vulnerabilities over the years this issue isnt really unique to Fast Pair.

To each their own, no doubt. Personally I’m just in awe at how modern tech actually makes people tech-illiterate, and seemingly at a faster clip each year. Throw in an additional attack surface and that just makes it, for me, net minus. There are social and political implications to being tech-illiterate and tech-dependent (especially dependent on foreign and/or rogue states), which is another minus in my book.
