Eavesdropping air fryers ‘sending data to China’
Air fryers may be serving up a side of surveillance with your chicken and chips.
Mark Sellman, The australian (don't read it)
Among other tested devices, the Huawei Ultimate smartwatch was classed as giving invasive access to parts of someone’s phone, including precise location, the ability to record audio, access to stored files and the ability to see all the other apps installed.
It's a smart watch, what is a smart watch for if not connecting to your mobile?
The australians on an anti china spree at the moment, below is a scary photo from last week: secret footage from inside a wine store in Wuhan! 😱
I hope Secretary Xi sees how much tofu I eat and that's enough to get me in the party.
I'm sorry, is that an air fried chicken strip covered in sesame seeds? wtf lol why
Why would you ever buy a fucking kitchen appliance that’s connected to the internet in the first place?
I whisper to it, "Xi, if you're listening, I'm ready to do whatever you need."
Perhaps for easy scheduled start, eg. you prep the food and remote start it as you're about to go home so that you have warm food by the time you get home
Might work in a super cold place, but I feel like leaving food out in Australia like that would be pretty risky.
Could work with preheat, I guess
Does it mean I can just ask my Air fryer to liberate my country for the PLA to come to the rescue? Sweet.
Personally, I make sure to regularly ask President Xi to send nukes whenever I am near a smart appliance.
Stalin would not approve of that.
His favorite wine was Khvanchkara semi-sweet.
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear from letting the evil CCP know how often you eat shitty dry fries.
Okay I just won't connect my fucking air fryer to the Internet because why the fuck would I do that it's a fucking air fryer
"You can remote control it to" blah blah blah I still have to put the food in and take it out and I can just press the buttons while I'm there
What smart watch doesn't do all that? I have an Apple Watch and I'm pretty certain that it does way worse than just all of that.
They didn't publish the full responses, e.g.
Huawei said: “Huawei takes consumers’ privacy incredibly seriously. Clearly, to be useful lifestyle and health/fitness partners, smartwatches require permissions to access a number of personal data; we are very clear both on the devices at set-up, and on the companion app Huawei Health, which permissions are required and why, and users have full control over turning them on or off at any time.”
I didnt even finish reading the 'article', i got to the bit about the watch and just rolled my eyes. This was obvious to me, I should be more mindful to do this, even if we are in the showtrial comm
i hope you took a long cleansing shower after reading The AustralianThey can, it just takes a little longer since all the letters are upside down.
Did...
Did they give the watch permission to access all their shit?
