@maxOSIRISart@fanniescafe@LACMA My daughter just wanted an option that was not on the “adult” menu. It was not a cost issue. And she is my child. So, technically…
@fanniescafe at @LACMA where we’ve been we cannot order something from the kids menu “because no child is present.” Said happy to pay an up-charge. Denied. I believe this is illegal. And also utterly absurd.
Wish I could teleport to Shanghai and see this exhibition. Amazing curators helping people understand the whole arc of historical digital art making! Honored to be included! @1188World
Thanks, Robert. I’m glad that you enjoy this feature and I wish you joy in using it with your friends, family, and guests. I appreciate the company’s solution to make it optional. My personal feeling is that the Matic is a *vacuum/mop* and as such does not need any photo features. A spoken phrase is hardly a safeguard, since anyone in the room can say it. Every unneeded camera feature in one’s home is an attack surface, and abuse in fact usually comes from people who were already trusted. Not everyone can hire technical professionals. 'Private by default, no photos at all' would, to me, be a stronger selling point for *a vacuum.* But I think we can agree to disagree on this topic.
There are MANy situations in which this feature could be problematic. Think of contentious divorces for example. Or if you share the app with a housekeeper and her kids appear on it-now you have pics of her kids on your phone . What if they are not fully clothed because they are little kids and just being kids. There are many low probability but still totally possible scenarios. Why would a *vacuum* company leave themselves open to any liability. And why would you not want users of the service to have the option of turning this feature off? How does that affect you?
