This will probably become a scandal. Without good privacy assurance, we won't progress properly and fast in the IoT world.
- slededit 9y agoIt was an over sensitive capacitive touch sensor. I can understand the scepticism but if you've ever tried to make one you'd understand it's easy to screw up in subtle ways that only repro on a subset of devices.
- CamelCaseName 9y agoNo need for the alarm. This issue simply occurred because a small number of Mini's given out at a Google event had a defect where the "press to send voice command" registered phantom touches. Not only was this clearly unintentional, but the issue was "resolved" (not really because they just disabled the would-be feature) and deleted the data they accidentally collected in a few days. Very few people were impacted.
