  Yeah i don't know. From everything i ever read or seen about it month ago, everyone seemed to agree that it's proper shit.

  Who exactly was hyped about this?

  IDK Trekkies maybe? Except it’s shaped wrong, and beaming up doesn’t work.
  If they manage that, maybe there’s a market.

    Snotty beamed me twice last night.

      It was wonderful.

        All right, I’ll take a shot at it. What the hell, it works on Star Trek.

    I’d buy one. Unless beaming is a subscription, of course.

      The whole thing required a subscription.

    bluetooth enabled comm badges are already available and not that big of a success.

  Do keep in mind the microphone is only on when you touch the touchpad, this device doesn’t use “wake words” like Alexa, Google Assistant, etc

    One of few good aspects about it, but only if you don't think about it too much. The question remains is if you can actually trust this, because there is no physical button disconnecting microphone and camera. It's all just in software and could be unsafe.

      That’s the case for every phone except that one model with hardware switches

        You can make the camera blind with a sticker or one of those slidey cover things, although it's much more annoying since that fad of cut outs for cameras has started.

        Also, like I said in the other comment, my phone isn't attached to my chest like a body cam and constantly in a position to film everything in the room. If the NSA wants to see my feet, the ceiling or my face, they are free to do so.

        Except if the OS is open-source and was proven to not have such spontaneous functionality.

      Same goes with your phone

      • DdCno1@kbin.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Sure, but at least my phone doesn't have a wide-angle lens that could be constantly filming everything.

        The fewer devices listening in on me, the better.

  It was in the tech news for a little bit, to some that counts as hype
