I found an Amazon folder with thousands of audio recordings from my home gadgets

[right way right]

I just figure big brother already knew enough about me to want me dead before I ever knew just how much info was being gathered.

[humblegunner]

Thanks, now I’ve got the material too.

She gonna have to pay me some money.

I have ZERO “smart gadgets” in my home. Still, I know I’m being surveiled by Google, NSA and others.

Other than your phone perhaps?

I don't have anything other than a phone, yet the TV was playing the Big Bang Theory theme the other evening, and shortly after I was getting pings on my phone from youtube for BBT episodes.

Looks to me like slack-jawed chick got hit with the “default settings” ploy. You all know this one: “Click Next”, “Click Next”, “Click Next”... “HOW’D THEY GET MY CONTACTS?!?!?”

[Carriage Hill]

I have a new 4G flip-phone, so someone’s probably listening, isn’t there?

I made sure the TV we bought a few years ago was dumb. Doesn’t have any apps like Netflix etc. Just the audio, video adjustments and channels. No wifi or place for a network cable.

[AppyPappy]

Oh no, I have no spies. What will become of me?

[Bobalu]

That's how they getcha, that goes straight to the govment..

I don’t get the mustard bottle.

But if I set up “Make it predators”, it could throw a catfish on the floor.

Or as we prefer to call them now. “An instrument of crime”.

[sauropod]

ditto.

[varyouga]

Place 3 listening devices in your house and then act surprised when they’re listening lol

[DannyTN]

Oh I see. I googled
Apparently a mustard bottle as well as many other things were thrown for 18 minutes after a bad call in the Ole Miss game the other night.

[fuzzylogic]

Anyone have a “smart TV remote” that you can talk into?

I also have Ring cameras & doorbell - they create a “mesh network” using your WiFi. All of these devices have the potential to compromise your privacy.

[Celerity]

We have recording devices in our pockets.

My wife says “we’ll never get one of those” while checking her Facebook on her galaxy.

[Fledermaus]

Idiots think Google watches them. As long as your location is turned on the couch you looked up on your phone will put an ad on your PC or tablet or laptop.

It’s simple advertising.

I always ask how i can kill Jeff Bezos. But as “smart” as they are supposed to be, she always says. Hmmm I don’t know that.

[Rurudyne]

I don’t even carry a cell phone.

I like being unreachable.

[farmguy]

Some Indian guy on the other end listening ... and taking notes?

[BenLurkin]

The skit that elected PDJT

The pinkos at SBNL won’t make the same mistake again.

[BenLurkin]

Ouch!
