Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:
EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".
Its easy enough to make a tube to blow through that should remove enough particulates to bypass the sensor. The kids would never figure this out though. /s
Someone is going to smash the sensor day 1.
Well, seems they already had the vaping sensors implemented and they're just announcing the notifications implementation... How hard is to just build am android app that displays a list and a popup?
This is reminiscent of the dystopian "name and shame" displays China has for jaywalkers. Good job, tech bro! Another innovation in our developing surveillance state.
Wait till this crowd hears about smoke detectors.
That looks like the emblem for my old high school, all 13+ years ago. If the kids are anything like we used to be, this will not last and will either have some one smash it, or just turn it off at the wall. Hell as pointed out, odds are the ones doing it don't give a damn and revel in the attention.
I was the smashy kid in high school, and if I encountered this dystopian bullshit I would have smashed it with a glow in my heart
I dont remember them trying this hard to get me to stop smoking cigarettes in the bathroom.
Time to break the displays I guess.
Just make it look uncool! Cigarettes' image went from "cool" to "I'm 12 and I want to be taken seriously by mom/oh my god why did I even tried it". From "hip" vaping, where should it's image go? (Besides down the drain)
