    Who here is surprised?
    Me. 

    I thought this would’ve happened much sooner. 

    X2!  There are zero Amazon “smart”devices in my home.  I trust neither Amazon nor Google “smart devices” and even dumped my Nest thermostat (which I really liked) after Google bought them.  I considered a Ring doorbell but once Amazon bought them, that thought went out the window.

    Only smart devices I’ll consider must meet HomeKit security standards.

  • Lawsuit alleges Apple involved in 'flagrant' music piracy on iTunes

    In this case it seems to be that the Plaintiffs know there’s no $$$ to be had from Pickwick, so we’ll go after “Deep Pockets” Apple.

  • Huawei caught using DSLR photos to promote its photography contest

    Typical 3rd tier company trickery — “If our cameras can’t produce those results . . . just find a camera that can and use those photos.”

    As SickersMagoo noted above — Credibility.”  Once you can fake it, your good!

  • Zoom freezing development to fix security & privacy flaws

    nikon1nikon1
    And will Zoom actually “fix” the security issues or just “dodge & weave” like FaceCrook does?  I sincerely have my doubts that this program / service would ever be trustworthy enough without serious expert reviews.  It seems to me to be as shady as Zuckerberg and his apologizing for all the privacy issues In FaceCrook that “we weren’t as clear as we thought.  We’re sorry, we’ll clean this up.”

    Yikes, here we go again. My parents have these and admin them on Android phones. Tried to get me some for Xmas, I took a hard pass, specifically for this reason. 
    I do want some security cams for my home, but won’t install until I do enough research to put together a proper closed circuit system that doesn’t rely on 3rd party cloud monitoring. 
    These are our homes we’re talking about, I don’t get how people just turn their privacy over so easily. I guess the convenience out weighs the risk?
    1 Word - FaceCrook!
