I wonder what goes through these designers’ minds
Oh great, now we’re all going to have to buy voice modulators that interject some kind of patterned noise that scrambles audio recording. Just like those masks that interfere with video.
The privacy arms race has begun.
In a decade we’ll all be wearing privacy helmets.
Wait, that sounds kind of cool actually.
Daft punk was ahead of their time
“I have nothing to hide, not even the private conversation happening next to me”
Its gonna keep a scoreboard of how much you crank your hog
I don’t need recaps; I was literally there.
You will once you’ve got permanent brain fog from super Covid.
Who is dumb enough to think they want or need this? We’re all aware that this is just more data collection, right?
/google anything like how to partition a drive in Linux/
/bunch of minutes-long videos appear/
nah. we will cry when when see how many humans think this is cool
You would be surprised. Perhaps astonished. Certainly dismayed.
Its not doing anything with my day. Don’t have one, don’t want one.
Do you ever leave your house? If so then yes this does directly affect you, other people wear them and will do so around you.
3 seconds of conversation with the cashier isn’t much of a recap of my day.
Is this even legal in the eu?
It will be with the right bribes
Their Israeli R&D center hard at work
Coming soon! The iWatch U
Who wants a recap of their day?
“You woke up at 7:22am!”
“You played stardew valley in bed for 14 hours!”
“You took minor chickie mcnuggie breaks twice today!”Ideal day tbh
Damn, this day sounds awesome.
Are you watching me through a camera rn???
On your LG TV, yes.
All these years we have been watching TV, and now the tables have turned. The TVs are watching us.
We all are
No thanks
is this for people with Alzheimers? do people not remember what they did through the day or need more granuality? took a shit vs took a shit fron 9:05:47 to 9:35:48 vs did i shit today ?
09:05:47: You lifted the lid of the toilet 09:05:49: You dropped your shorts and underpants 09:06:04: Your butt cheeks made contact with the toilet seat 09:06:07: You activated your iPhone 09:06:09: You opened ShitTok on your iPhone 09:06:15: You realised that nothing was forthcoming and that there must be a clog in your colon 09:06:23: You began straining 09:06:24: You exclaimed: "Arrrrgh, shift you nobbly bastard!" 09:06:40: Your pulse and blood pressure reached dangerously elevated levels 09:06:44: The crap clog finally passed your sphincter 09:06:45: The 'bomb bay doors opened' and a satisfying torrent of last night's now-digested burrito gushed out 09:06:51: The flow of yesterday's bean, cheese, and pork 'al pastor' eases 09:06:55: You sighed with relief and reached for the TPWho wouldn’t want that in their life?
Apple seems really focused on preventing the audio from making it off the device.
Which fine, I believe they’ll make that very difficult. Apple has engineering chops.
But it’s not the fucking point. I ALSO don’t want every watchhole around me making transcriptions of anything I say within earshot of whoever wears one. Which will be way less noticeable than even smart glasses. Say goodbye to having an unrecorded conv in most public places.
The whitewashing of the privacy probs with this is galling.

Huh? That tiny fucker uses AI to process the cocnversations itself?! How?
Isn’t that going to drain the battery and heat up the thibg to high hells? I’m assuming it’s either that or the output will be crap.
Once the technology is implemented and ubiquitous it would only take a secret government mandate and a gag order for the code to be altered to listen for particular words and phrases and log them
And its all closed source and propretieary. So no one would know.
I was reading up on that and how they plan on processing it in the Secure Enclave part of the watch. My only concern though is as you move more stuff into the enclave, the bigger the attack surface for the entire enclave becomes. And then at what point is more working being done in the enclave than the rest of the watch basically becoming a useless demarcation of security.
It’s processed in an exclave, not the secure enclave
And some places still have policies that don’t allow you to record audio.
