What counts here is whether the device delivers what it promises and the price/performance is right. From my point of view, the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 4 Pro is a great air filter that does its job, even if the price is a bit too high. I have had it for almost 1.5 years now and am very satisfied with it. Greetings Easyk75
Without specifically wanting to throw a Chinanoia into the room, especially since I don't trust Americans any further than I could throw them, but has anyone with electronic skills ever checked the part for microphones (or motion sensors misused for this purpose, as in the GeStaPo phones)?<--Cool no, a malicious CrApp usually doesn't need any authorisation to use them and nothing is displayed when they are tapped...No "Alu Hut fällig?", there are PoC's of them ;P) or even cameras? 0.o
Would such an inspection already void the warranty?
The answer that there is no danger if you don't give it the wifi passwords is no guarantee of security in my eyes, because it could have open wifi networks in the vicinity via which it could nevertheless exfiltrate all the data it has obtained from you, if it doesn't just filter the air! ;P
Really sad that because of such degenerate yuppies with the head in the --online-- cloud, where all these CrApp and therefore Wlan gimmick shit is so cool, you can't even buy a damn air filter anymore without having to ask yourself such questions... and of course having to rip apart all the devices first to scan them for barely visible or understandable potentially malicious technologies... So has any trustworthy person from the hacker community been through this with the part?
I'm not a "trustworthy person from the hacker community"; especially since this concatenation of words alone doesn't really make sense to my ears, but I've been using the device for a few months now and am extremely satisfied. Of course, I removed the fisheye cam and the two microphones beforehand, and I did so in accordance with the warranty, just as one usually learns with the MI6 (if, of course, one paid close attention when this topic was discussed). It got my WLAN password because I operate it remotely via the corresponding app, along with the other Xiamomi air filter, which is at the other end of the living room. Does that make me one of the "yuppies with the head in the online cloud"? I'm happy to let others judge that. Maybe the same people who want to tell me not to eat meat or board planes and (although I'm an early adopter of electromobility) still want to spoil my day because the discussion about the harmfulness of batteries will start.
Oh, by the way. If someone from the "trustworthy hacker community" should really come out of the closet here, please get in touch with me, I still have a number of passwords and PIN codes to crack...
