> simply unhackable. Photon doesn't do Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular, so your photos can't leave the device without physical access to it
saying that something is "unhackable" makes me very uncomfortable, like saying something is "bulletproof". Having no external wireless connectivity also doesn't make something unhackable. If it communicates to a host app on the computer, and that app is vulnerable, it could be hacked through that. if it has a firmware update option, you can hack it through that. I'm reminded of smea's smart sex toy hacking video, where he exploited a sex toy by going through a chat client, then exploiting its bluetooth connection via a vulnerable usb dongle. Replace bluetooth with a usb c cable and it could be vulnerable
Fair enough. When I was writing that I wasn't 100% comfortable with that wording either. I couldn't find a phrasing that meant "100% unhackable over the internet when in service", so I just went with "unhackable" and let the description clarify. But point taken.
