For me it's more the privacy aspect. IOT devices tend to be network weak points. Things like Alexa constantly listening. I could see myself self hosting home assistant maybe in the future but not of the things smart devices enable are really a value add for me personally.
You don't need home devices to lose your privacy like that. Your phone's themselves are constantly listening in.
Was talking to the wife in the car one time about buying a new pair of tennis shoes, and when I got home that evening and watched YouTube videos and such, I was getting so many tennis shoe ads it was actually quite spooky.
Oh definitely, I go to a lot of effort to try and mitigate it (graphene OS, no Facebook, social media, pihole for network wide ad blocking, simplelogin for email aliasing, no smart devices) but there's always plenty of invasive apps/services even you're privacy conscious.
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.
Facebook doesn't.
Found the astroturfer
Whatever you say. Still not a single person who can list consumer devices using this tech.
Whatever you say astroturfer.
But it does not look like like they are secure at all
Hey, we even have leaks... .
Tell your boss to update your script
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?
