From MacRumors:
Apple has disabled the Walkie-Talkie app for Apple Watch due to a bug that could allow users to eavesdrop on others, reports TechCrunch.
I mean, I get it, and that’s probably the right thing to do, but has anyone involved used a walkie talkie before? It’s like a CB. Everyone’s using the same bandwidth, and if your conversations are private, they’re private only through luck, not the technology.
I kinda miss that wide-open use of radio waves. It was fun to pick up conversations back in the good ole days. (Remember when the first cordless [home] phones didn’t have encryption? Those were interesting eavesdropping times too…)
