Okay so address my fundamental point which is show me the evidence because otherwise you're living in exciting reality of your own creation. I am positive it is very fun in there, but it doesn't have much to do with here on Earth

Come leave here on the other side of the reality curtain we have donuts.

I live in a small town in Northern England, I also have no war.

I'm sure Greenland has politics though, because you know, it's a country.

The thing is I really can't see Google allowing anyone else access. They don't even allow Android OEMs to have access

Do you mean YouTube premium? Old YouTube music because they're different things I think premium includes music actually but you can just have the music subscription.

Youtube music is actually better than something like Spotify for creators, so it's not the worst justification in the world.

I knew they had to be doing this so I turned off all mic permissions. One day it pissed me off so much I started keeping my phone off completely unless I needed to use it

It might be an easy to just stop using Facebook really.

I've had enough time to work out which of my relatives are racist, so I don't really need it anymore.

I had a bloody mary last weekend, you're clearly listening in on my conversations.

Not how it works.

They have an ultra low power processor that listens for the "hey Google" keyword, then that wakes up the main audio processor. But the main microphone is not actually on, and that small processor isn't capable of recording audio it's just looking for a certain matching sound wave and then triggering.

That's why it sometimes triggers if you just go "hurr ner dorrll" because those random sounds are close enough to what it's looking for.

That is why some older devices can't actually install the assistant software. They lack the necessary hardware to do it in a power efficient manner.

You don't think security experts know about stereonography techniques? It's like the first thing you learn about in uni for it. Like the first week.

I'm pretty sure that iPhone have the same security but on Android, apps cannot install other apps. When you think about it that would be a pretty basic security vulnerability so it's not that surprising that it's blocked.

Then they've installed a root kit on your computer because that's the only way they could have access to your microphone, the web browser blocks it otherwise.

No that's being pushed back on the idea from people with tech skills who work in the cyber security industries. You don't think they would realize if something like this was happening and shout it from the rooftops?

It's everyone's favorite past time to dunk on Facebook but that doesn't mean we should make stuff up without evidence. Calling people naive because they don't believe you is the same as saying it's true because you want it to be.

Evidence must be presented. I've never seen any not in the 10 years these claims have been made. No one has ever bothered to provide a shred of evidence and all of it is who I talked about X and then I saw an ad for X.

Pardon me for wanting something a little bit more concrete

Right and your evidence is "I think it happens".

Show me the stack trace.
