It is known and the data is out there.
Phones listen to you. Be warned.
Ive had this same thing happen to me, ive said they must be listening for a long time now.
I remember one day at my in-laws, and I was having a conversation with my brother-in-law in his kitchen. I excused myself to go take s*#t. As I walked to their bathroom a Charmin commercial came on the television.
I always thought that was weird.
We got creeped out when we were talking about going to my daughter's house for a visit. We get in the car, and directions to her house just pop up on the smartphone.
LOL....FacePlant
Better than an X-Lax commercial, though.
Whenever someone says they are going to implant chips in people I’ve always said why? you pay them $50-$100 a month to carry it every where with you now. It has a microphone two cameras a video camera a gps location and an internet connection to update everything in real time. It has a history of websites you’ve visted as well as the contact info of everyone you know and seeing as he only way to prevent accessing you phone info remotely is too remove the battery you’ll notice that you can’t remove the battery anymore.
Or you can tell Echo to fart and it will give all kinds of sounds.
TVs have been “2 way communication” for at least 30 years.
So it would seem that a good defense would be to bombard FB and others with phony search words. Data is useless when it means nothing, no? What is the easiest way to do that without making it a nuisance for yourself?
...and that’s why Zuckerberg covers his laptop camera and microphone with tape...
I want one!
My project manager at work showed up in my “Friends” suggestion (and I do not have my city or employer listed or any contacts with co-workers).
My co-worker got the same suggested friend (neither of us were suggested to each other).
I don’t even see creepbook “suggesting” friends anymore.
Even I have heard about those guys.
An on line entity that invites people to spill their guts publicly, and we are surprised to learn they make use of personal information?
I’ve had a bandaid over the camera since I learned that it can be remotely turned on. Now I have a bandaid over the speaker. I will remove it when I want to listen to something.
A friend mentioned the other day that when she talked about something on the phone she started getting ads for whatever it was she was talking about.
It’s happened to me. I use a kindle and things would pop up up that I mentioned to my husband I went to settings and found Alexa was turned on.
It could be helpful. Maybe I can uncover the speaker and describe something I need but don’t know the proper name. Maybe it will help me.
The adoption of the word, 'partner', to indicate ones significant other, was started by homosexuals, back when it was still un-PC for them to call their same sex partners by traditional labels.
For the record, I'm a man, and I call my female spouse, 'wife'.
