It would be good to guide blind people if the maps talk. They could ask it to take them places and it guides them through. I like it

Apple AR Smart Glasses Coming Sooner Than Expected, Analyst Says

Now, Apple analyst supreme, Ming-Chi Kuo from TF Securities, has issued a new note, picked up by CNBC. In it, he claims that augmented reality spectacles are indeed coming from Apple, and they are less than nine months away: they should be on sale in the first half of 2020. It’s a note that also confirms the expected arrival of the iPhone SE2 next spring but interestingly doesn’t mention anything about upcoming MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models that have been rumored before. He also repeats that a 5G iPhone is coming next fall.

Data-leak

A data leak by smart home device manufacturer Wyze left the personal details of 2.4 million users exposed on the internet for more than three weeks.

Among the compromised information was user email addresses, WiFi network names, smart device details and the health statistics of a limited number of users.

Founded by former Amazon employees, the Seattle, Washington-based firm specialises in inexpensive smart cameras, light bulbs, plugs and security devices.

Wyze has now secured the database and forced users to reset their account passwords, as well as their connections with other services like Amazon's Alexa or Google assistant.

The breach was first identified on December 26, 2019 by consulting firm Twelve Security, and subsequently confirmed by video surveillance authority IPVM.

According to experts from Twelve Security, the exposed database contained information on around 2.4 million Wyze users — around a quarter of which were based in the US, with the rest scatted across the UK, Egypt, the UAE and Malaysia.

Data compromised in the leak included usernames and associated emails, Alexa tokens for users who had connected their devices to Amazon's virtual assistant, as well as information on specific Wyze devices and their wireless network names.

Furthermore, health stats — including height, gender and weight — were also exposed for 140 users who had been beta-testing Wyze's upcoming smart scale product.
