Oh? TIL. I guess if they’ve ruled out fairphone and nothing is as bad as you say, maybe it’s a larger player. Can’t think of many other small ones.

This is a major bummer. I was kinda rooting for them to be the OEM that GOS would be working with.

Wish they’d shared the iOS slide as well

Computer vision * sorry

Is it an iPhone? They use IR to map your face where as (AFAIK) most Android just use CV, which is kinda my point. These would only help when IR is involved.

So, these actually work great when IR is used (for example you won’t be able to unlock your iPhone when wearing them), however my question is, does this help at all when just a normal photo is taken? You can wear these, have a ‘normal’ photo taken and it just looks like you’re wearing standard glasses. That could then be fed through CV, etc?

These are all great suggestions, but you will still show up on data brokers sites.

And Flock is partnering with Ring right? That’s neat.

God speed

I really wonder what their logic is here. I’m very excited to hear that GOS will be partnering with an OEM to hopefully get more support for the project, more frequent security updates, etc.

Ew. Also, LibreWolf.

SFF Optiplec are great. I went with a decently spec’d Intel NUC running Proxmox that handles all my home services nicely without using too much power.

Fully custom? Sick! Where do I get one? 😅

They also are buying the NSO group

More of this!

Oh that’s good to know. I have a handful of Kasa bulbs and I don’t give them WAN access. They seem to be mostly fine without WAN, but I do get communication issues with them from time to time (which is why I’m exploring zigbee as an alternative). Thank you for the reply!

Great points. I have white a few smart switches through the house to control things both physically and via Home Assistant. Most of the other lights are wifi based and work mostly as expected with occasional drops (which can get annoying). Was wanting to experiment with ZigBee to see if it was more reliable, but it sounds like that might not be the case

Ambient Weather looks great. Just with it had air quality as well

I’ll check this out, thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Something like this guy? That looks perfect, thanks!
