    Jesus Christ “always listing”.

    No they aren’t. Not in any sense that even explained in common sense language to normal people.

    They are listening to what amounts to be a key pair(s) voice imprint. That’s done at a hardware level. And despite it be career making and be worth millions nobody has reported any large scale beach of trust in many years.

    The major players have an excellent track record of being secure.

        Whatever you say. Still not a single person who can list consumer devices using this tech.

            First, the attacker needs to be within wireless proximity of the device, and listen to MAC addresses with prefixes associated with Google. After that, they can send deauth packets, to disconnect the device from the network and trigger the setup mode. In the setup mode, they request device info, and use that information to link their account to the device and - voila! - they can now spy on the device owners over the internet, and can move away from the WiFi.

            Congrats, you found a single instance. It was patched via the security program. It relied on physical proximity.

            Then you link another scenario where an utterly insignificant portion of users data was shared with partners.

            It’s grasping at straws and both those incidents are unrelated to always on recording. None of that shit you linked is related in the least bit. It’s slippery slope bullshit you’re trying to pull.

            Astroturfing 🤣🤣🤣 good lord I wish I could get paid arguing with uninformed privacy zealots.

              So much so for your “excellent track record of being secure.” right? Specially this taking almost a year to be patched. Now image the exploits that were found not by researchers, but malicious parts…

              I mean, if you were a paid astroturfer I could understand, because people have to make ends meet right. But doing that for free? What a dystopian world we live in

                Holy shit, you really are stuck on this 100% unrelated local access hack 🤣

                I guess you’ll never use tls again cause of its history right?
