Same goes with your phone
Comment on Humane AI Pin: much-hyped gadget rocked by bad reviews
DdCno1@kbin.social 2 months agoOne 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.

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.

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.
