I think the reason this is a problem with smart glasses but not with spy pens is that smart glasses are more accessible. I mean, you don’t just keep a spy pen on your person, or even buy one, in case it will be useful, right? but the smart glasses are just there, on your head. and why not take a few stealthy photos if I can just click and its one, nobody knowing? or even just that you take a photo of something, but there are others in the field of view who have no idea.

and not just with Meta. I don’t think other companies either can be trusted with tech like this. Certainly not in this age.

I agree that head mounted displays can be useful, I’m contemplating getting something like it, but just no cameras, please. not in the frame, not backwards, not anywhere.

the specs are awful,

well the screen is weird, and why is this USB 2 (really, what’s behind this? the fairphone 6 got a downgrade to usb 2 too), but that’s it. oh and the plastic but I guess it depends on what kind, it can be ok

phones are at least full-HD, so 1920x1080. computer displays too. It’s even more of a weird choice for that very large size, I imagine you can clearly see and count the pixels

you have just proven that specifications wise it’s a viable phone lol

with traffic whitelists

ok but that seems to fall into the they don’t care category. surely they could run a facial recognition algorithm on the faces and store some kind of a hash for anomaly detection. hell public transport companies are storing travel history for years for the purpose of cheating detection and they get away with it, no way a serious thing like this wouldn’t do that

yeah but I wonder how aren’t they recognizing it that thousands of people have the same face. do they just not care?

you could pass a constitutional law against any form of age validation (“ageism has no place in our country”)

you are conflating things. age validation does not equal ageism. age validation does not solve age restriction because a validated user account can be handed over to a kid, or taken over by them in secret. the parents that can’t be assed to take care of their children won’t keep their smartphone safe either, because that’s inconvenient and takes time and attention

if you can make a rotatable 3D model of it…

a mediabox. maybe a small PC or a big one. but if you know what is a VLAN, how routing works, and how your router works, you can make it safe to connect it to an internal network with only a jellyfin

I wonder what was his goal with that

through HDMI

unbound, bind, or if you want a gui then technitium DNS.

but this thread is so, so full of misinfo. you don’t need a local doh capable DNS server at home. having one won’t solve anything either, because your advertising fridge won’t be using it. that’s the actual problem. you need to block any doh servers that the fridge might access (and regular DNS servers too), so that it doesn’t have a choice but respect your pihole, but that is very difficult because doh traffic looks like regular web traffic (because it is). yeah the fridge does not need to load websites, but it does all its questionably useful functions through HTTPS APIs too, so if you want to give it internet, you can’t just block web traffic for it.

it can block scripts requesting the ad, because scripts cannot send arbitrary network traffic, they ask the browser to do something with a domain, which may in turn use doh for finding the IP.

the difference is that it’s very hard to block doh connections because it looks like web/API traffic. and if you don’t block it, it will work around your pihole without you noticing. pihole only works if your devices actually use it without evading it, or if you can firce them to do so. doh is not used for connecting to pihole, it does not even support it.

and also block outgoing connections to port 53 when it’s not the pihole device’s allowed IP

but then how will I watch tiktoks on it!

veracrypt supports that
