I'm sorry what?
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoWait until they find out about the correlation between information on driver's licenses and where people sleep.
- m463 3y agoI would say maybe 50% of people in semi-serious relationships correlate with their driver's license, but closer to 100% correlate with their phone.
- xattt 3y agoNot only sleep, but where they shit and how long too.
- sixothree 3y agoAnd almost certainly pictures of them in the act. Though no platforms will admit to surreptitiously capturing photos.
- GenerocUsername 3y agoWe have a baby cam that sees in infrared and my wife's iphone is legit snapping photos every few seconds clearly visible in there... I've read the official reasons why it does this... But it's eery to watch in real time. Absolutely looks like a duck and walks like a duck, but the official docs say it's a dog
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoPretty sure that's for face unlock. I don't know iPhones - is it possible to unlock your phone by bringing it up to your face without first hitting the power button?
- sixothree 3y agoThere was a time in 2005 era when webcams were expensive. But somehow, every single laptop produced included a webcam. And it wasn't optional. I feel like manufacturers were facing pressure from government agencies around the world.
- rationalist 3y agoI don't have an iPhone, so what is the official reason you read?
- yetihehe 3y agoIt could be IR sensor checking if your phone is near your face. But should be disabled when screen is off. Making a photo every several seconds would drain battery pretty fast.
- GenerocUsername 3y agoIt's while in use. It's always checking if you are looking at it...
- oilchange 3y agoPeople usually keep their phone near them. Even when they sleep. So if you know where the phone is via tracking, then you know where the owner of the phone is. And ultimately where the owner of the phone sleeps.
- aaomidi 3y agoSo does the registered address of the person.
- doubled112 3y agoI didn’t change my address every time I moved during college. My phone went with me though.
- kaliqt 3y agoFar worse, it's very easy to know when a person is going to be asleep even with no more data. You can use location in part, yes, but health tracking can sort out your patterns very well and determine exactly what you are next likely to do without having any further data points (if you turned off and took off all devices). It's all trainable.
