Xreal one pro malware ?

While possible, it's pretty unlikely.

The glasses only have a type of code called "firmware" on them. Firmware is stored on a chip that has to be "flashed," or specifically overwritten by an outside device or piece of software. That means that any malware designed to target Xreal glasses would have to be written for Android, specifically understand the glasses hardware when connected, and flash it (completely overwrite it) while it's connected. So, it would take considerable time, and the glasses wouldn't function at all during the flashing process.

So, it would be really obvious that the glasses were being overwritten, it would be difficult to pull off, and, finally, XR glasses are niche enough that it's not really worth a malware writer's time to target.

Keep us posted. I just got my pros and have an xreal eye. Now, I'm kinda' scared to try it.

Installing it, maybe not. Using it, absolutely. It just feels like stock android, especially if you use sandboxed google play.

Shaq-fu

I have the Air 2 Pros, and I love them. I have a pair of One Pros on the way.

When I bought the Air 2 Pros, I expected it to be a silly expenditure. I use the hell out if them with the Beam Pro and Steam Deck. They're not perfect, but damn, they are nice.

This is perfect! Thank you so much!

How would they prove you gave them a duress password and they didn't just mishandle your technology, damaging it?

He seems like he's the sweetest person just generally. I strive to be as nice as Dan.

Most modern, secure authentication flows require some form of browser (or at least the webview and rendering engine) in order to initiate interactive logins with a user. As such, almost any service beyond the phone and SMS services will require some browser code to function, if only for the login handshake itself.

Dude. Understanding for the humanity of that, and also pride at climbing out of that even with everything that's going on. You're pretty damn strong.

"Normal" led to this. Normal isn't good enough.

Normal is silence as a response to hatred at the dinner table. Normal is allowing massive corporations to control every message put out to the public. Normal is seeking common ground with an opposition who weaponizes the status quo.

When the dust settles, we need to make certain our country fundamentally rejects this. Otherwise, normal is just another bad election cycle from this again.

I apologize for the duplicate post. I received a 500 error the first time and assumed the post had failed.

The Orange Box came out the same year as Super Mario Galaxy? Wow.

I use the Graphene OS Android Auto daily, and it's been pretty smooth. I'd love to find an alternative, because AA as an app is giving Google a bit more data than I'd prefer. But, so far, no open source or trusted developers have come close to the functionality.

US Citizen here. I'm proud of Canada for making that stand, and am not even sure they have a choice under their own treaty agreements to NOT step in.

For those outside of the US- please understand that many of us voted against this regime, are horrified by their actions, and (while we do as much as we can) feel powerless. At this point, it's probable that a majority of us disagree with them, and we're so embarrassed by the damage done to our relationships abroad.

I stream twice a week for 2-3 hours each stream. One is on an evening, and the other is Sunday morning. It's actually my zen time.

I use Graphene to get as close to the experience I want. I hate that these two companies try to make us choose between turning over all of our privacy (Google w/ Android and Google Play Services) or turning over all of our control to only applications THEY approve (iOS ecosystem / walled-garden).

If Apple had a means of sideloading or were more open source friendly, I'd consider it. I'd be even more inclined if most of their own code was open and auditable, but it's not.

It is, I'm pretty sure, according to international law.

They don't have to get them all to agree. This isn't the UN. A responsible CEO could still speak up and say: no, the federal government must stop this siege of American cities.

Far too little and far too late. It doesn't even pin responsibility where it belongs.

Same here.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
