The ad copy for this says "100% private. No Internet needed to capture." But the last time Google sold a camera-oriented device, Google Glass, it would upload all the pictures it took to Google's servers without any way to stop it from doing so. And Google gave out instructions to stop it from uploading pictures, but the instructions didn't work. Can an engineer from Google, who has looked at the code or at the network traffic, say confidently that this isn't uploading all your pictures to Google's servers?

- soared 9y agoAre you accusing Google of just outright lying? One product says you don't need a network connection, the other heavily relied on a network connection.
- jimrandomh 9y agoI'm saying that Google has had an internal miscommunication about this exact question in the past. That's different from lying, but it does undercut the credibility of their statement, and so I'd like to hear it from someone who's able to check, rather than someone on the marketing side.
- BHSPitMonkey 9y agoIt was very unambiguously an emphasized part of the keynote that they talked about in detail, not a passing misunderstandable remark. And when the public has their hands on these, it would be trivial to see if it violates this claim.
