"While these smart assistants can make day-to-day activities much easier, concerns have been raised about the devices eavesdropping on users. "Now, scientists from the University of Chicago have developed a new bracelet that ensures your smart assistant can’t eavesdrop on you. "The bracelet, dubbed the ‘Bracelet of Silence’, will jam any microphones in the vicinity from listening in on the wearer’s conversations."

+Desertrat56 Posted February 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I am glad it works for iPhones and other smart phones as well. Where do you think they perfected that software? The bracelet is kind of bulky. Edited February 22, 2020 by Desertrat56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
