  • Except if there is the possibility of it happening without their knowledge/consent, the other person could use even the name for further social engineering. It’s better to not give out any information automatically. Granted the user has to approve a Name Drop share but the screen does display the user’s contact info that would be shared either way, so if the phone is visible to the person trying to obtain the info, they’d still be able to see it even if the target doesn’t approve the share.

    It is a bit overhyped since it’s not like someone shady can go around sniffing everyone’s contacts automatically, but it’s still worth tuning off for anyone who is privacy or security conscious.



  • I have 5 different Orange Pi devices of varying types and they all work well. I don’t have the higher end one that was competing with the Pi 4 and such, but some of the smaller/low end ones. They all run Armbian and do what they need to do for me without any fuss. Given my experience with the smaller ones if I needed something faster now I wouldn’t have any reservations about buying the bigger ones.

    The main problem I had was finding reputable sellers, even when I did find one it only shipped from China. Took them a while to get here but otherwise it was fine. I think the more popular/faster models may have some resellers on Amazon that ship from the US now.
