I'm sure you'll find some good explanations online, but there's an "activation" circuit on the device "listening" that then engages the rest of the system when it's triggered. So there's no recording or sending of data until the activation phrase has been said, and the activation phrase detection is done locally on the device.

Toasted mayo, sardine, tomato is so good though

That's why there should also be an extension cord in the cart

My understanding is the mics aren't "live" until the activation phrase is said, then they record and send that data for processing. If someone has proven otherwise I'd love to see their methods.

The scary thing isn't that they're listening, it's that they collect so much other data that they don't have to.

Hasn't this been proven to be false? People have monitored the network traffic and phones don't listen like this; it's just not practical.

Instead, they keep track of your browsing, location, contacts, etc and build a profile well enough they don't need to listen to you.

I think so? The mass of the earth above pulling more or less equally in all directions

Like how kissing is like connecting two long tubes with buttholes on either end?

Interesting way to do the stitching there...

This is making me wonder: do you think they could just replicate clothes to be perfectly interwoven so that there are no seams? Different fabrics could just be perfectly bonded to each other with no stitching required, and the fabric itself woven in the correct shapes instead of flat fabric needing to be cut and stitched together like we do.

What a poor job lol. Looks like the fence has buck teeth!

Those are nails. It'd be better if they were screws as the extra length would be easy to snap off. Nails are less brittle so you need to cut them off or bend them over.
