He died doing what he loved

@Track_Shovel

After the recent news (again) that advertisers are actively listening to the microphone on your devices 24/7, I'm gonna hard pass on this.

Title is funny as hell though.

Wait til you see what your car is picking up

That only applies to people with cars that are less than around 10yrs old.

Problem is with all the sensors and cameras surrounding modern cars they are also recording stuff happening around them.

@Track_Shovel

Oh yeah, you're not wrong. Makes me happy I had a motorcycle when I drove. Rented a car once and read through the manual. Amazed it had a camera built into the dash to monitor how aware the driver was.

Got a source on that? I love that this rumor goes around every few months and nicely reminds me which communities are full of terrible media literacy.

What do you think of the discussion here? Do you still believe the sensational headline?

(Also way to prove my point)

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the active listening article is very vague and apart from fantasizing about 24/7 surveillance everywhere for everyone it doesn't say a whole lot directly, so in my mind it's best to assume the worst case scenario

In other words you choose to believe what you want to believe and don’t care about facts. Neat.

I'll gladly believe something else if they claim something else, but their claims are very dystopian

Never thought I'd buy an Amazon Echo but......

Jokes aside, how fucking cartoonishly dystopian does technology need to get before people begin to reject it?

Why do you think musk was experimenting with brain implants? He wants to beam fucking ads right into our brains.

It's insane what the general population puts up with. Sometimes I look around and think that we may actually deserve it.
