As a German they are all technically correct, but one of them isn't a proper translation.
I believe I spider.
"Ich glaube ich spinne." isn't in regards to spiders, the last word is a verb. "spinnen" means "to spin", originally coming from spinning yarn, which then became spinning a thought :)
That's more of a bug instead of someone actively monitoring you. The device accidentally thought you activated it, so it started listening.
You wouldn't be able to access those recordings if they were trying to spy on you.
Besides that, you literally agreed to it when buying and setting the device up. This is not the case with your phone (if you switch the assistant off, if it's on and heard the keyword it might still upload data of course).
There have been plenty of tests where CPU and network usage were monitored with one phone.
Once in a quiet soundproof room compared to sitting next to a conversation.
Zero difference.
Recording and parsing audio would kill your battery. And it's not necessary when most people freely provide their data when using Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, ..
There has been zero proof about illegal recording, even though it would be easy to find.
China sees Taiwan as China. There are no "diplomatic solutions". China is only satisfied when Taiwan belongs to them.
This is the same moronic bullshit like not wanting to deliver weapons to Ukraine because war is bad, it raises tensions or whatever.
The way to lower tensions is for Russia to stop their attack war, if Ukraine gives in there will be no Ukraine afterwards.
If China wants reduced tensions all they have to do is forfeit their claim that Taiwan belongs to them. If Taiwan gives in there won't be any Taiwan afterwards.
Is this so difficult to understand?
The US backs Taiwan because you'd have no more computers (without Chinese backdoors) otherwise.
sigh You're hanging out with your friend, both your phones are in the same location, same wifi, you're friends on Facebook or whatever.
So you get ads for things they are interested in. No need to listen to your conversation.
I mean in this case it's preventing a war and securing your main chip supply.
Until Intel produces in the US, the way this is going looks grim..
The phones have highly optimized functions to listen to keywords. That's the reason why you can't change "OK Google" to "OK Jarvis" or whatever you want. Your phone needs to do this locally without wasting battery.
Until the keywords get said the listening is extremely basic. As soon as you say the keywords then the full audio processing kicks in, often including sending what you say to a server.
Mate, your Alexa is plugged in, it's not a phone. You agree to your Alexa constantly listening when you buy it. It's a feature, not a bug.
If your phone would listen as much as your Alexa you'd be out of battery in three hours.
Ask Meta?
Could be anti bot protection, or a feature where you can instantly start recording for creating new posts.
I don't install shit like Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.
Speech to voice has gotten extremely good by now, but the good stuff needs CPU power. Not something you'd run on your phone 24/7 without your demolishing your battery.
You do realize you're in Funny: Home of the [email protected]?
I wouldn't expect high quality takes here. You'll either have to curate the communities you see, or quit social media altogether I'm afraid.
Either way, it's probably a good thing to check your attitude :)
At least with my LG TV you can switch that off. It's in general settings "Standby light" :)
