[CW FOOD] Eavesdropping air fryers ‘sending data to China’
Removed by modNSFWEavesdropping 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! 😱

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
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.
Millions of adults Australians are living with a secret shame. They’re hiding the fact they cannot read recipes or bus timetables, apply for a driver’s licence or financial support, or sign rental agreements without supervision.
The federal government has conceded it does not know how many Australians lack these basic skills. The last comprehensive study, conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in 2012, put the figure at 3 million people, but no up-to-date data exists.
No test no worries
The Australian was Rupert Murdoch's first real substantive attempt at using media for significant political influence
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
Theres a countdown timer in every Chinese Airfryertm - one day youre eating nuggies, the next day youre activated as a communist sleeper agent, nite nite capitalism
Did...
Did they give the watch permission to access all their shit?
Why would you ever buy a fucking kitchen appliance that’s connected to the internet in the first place?
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
I really question this. Unless your food is very, very frozen (deep in the freezer for days) and dense and has enough water to keep it frozen and cold for like 8+ hours without serious risk of bacteria growth and toxins being produced leaving food in a place like that all day seems like a recipe for disaster. Certainly I wouldn't do it for frozen cut up tofu or meat. I suppose if you work in a way that allows you to come home for lunch that might allow it to work but most Americans don't. (CDC says I believe 4 hours is the maximum frozen food that needs to be cooked should be left in the danger zone above freezing/refrigeration temps but below 160+ degrees F)
Given the ideal way to use an air fryer is to expose the contents to the air to get the full benefits of convection cooking which also thaws them more quickly and lets bacteria proliferate or get in it just seems like a poor candidate for it. And if you're doing something like a side like fries that are probably safe to leave all day you still have to make the main meal and fries take like 5 minutes so I question the utility of saving yourself waiting that little time with such a function.
All in all modes like that, remote start works for things like washing machines or clothes driers or coffee machines or pre-heating a conventional oven given that unlike an air fryer can take 10+ minutes.
I think the more likely explanation is it's just more IOT connected nonsense. People buy it, it sells so it gets made and the manufacturers can off-set the costs by selling data profiles on what time people eat meals by gathering that data as well as types of modes used and how long to for example identify people who have midnight snacks or meals, those who work off hours, etc.
I whisper to it, "Xi, if you're listening, I'm ready to do whatever you need."
They're not even trying with the money the State Department is giving them.
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.
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear from letting the evil CCP know how often you eat shitty dry fries.
Stalin would not approve of that.
His favorite wine was Khvanchkara semi-sweet.
