Likelihood that these are always on, dumping data directly to the Feds?
- dannyw 4y ago101%
- jen729w 4y agoZero, given that anyone can sniff the traffic.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoThere can never be a problem with OpenSSL or Log4j, they’re open source. Too many eyes on it to be a problem. Absolutes, cut it out.
- DonHopkins 4y agoTo quote Theo De Raadt: “My favorite part of the “many eyes” argument is how few bugs were found by the two eyes of Eric ([S Raymond] the originator of the statement). All the many eyes are apparently attached to a lot of hands that type lots of words about many eyes, and never actually audit code.”
- CamelCaseName 4y agoBased on the replies you received, somewhere between zero and 101%. Jokes aside, my guess is zero. Transmitting that much data would probably be a lot. Maybe you could take a picture every 30 minutes and hide it away with other data if you really wanted to, but Google Glass was so short lived I imagine they had bigger things to worry about.
- faangiq 4y agoWell, Google Glass was a niche product and monitoring its users may have been of particular interest.
- wmf 4y agoBesides what other people said, if a device is always on, dumping data directly to the Feds then it will be hot and its battery life will be very short.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoMaybe smart phones would last a week on one charge if they weren't running the fed rootkit? :-p
- galangalalgol 4y agoMy iphone 12 does last a week. But I only use it to check work email a few times a day. My android lasts a day and abhalf with normal use.
- folmar 4y agoMy cheap mid-end Android phone with Lineage+microG lasts some 10-12 days if used as a phone+email.
- kube-system 4y agoThey don’t need to. Just mail over a warrant and Google will happily do the data collection for them.
