I’m only listening for key action phrase and
**RADICAL DISSENT**AFAIK, those devices have two systems.
The subsystem only listens for the keyword. It doesn’t have any capability to process the whole question you ask. Its only job is to listen for the keyword and then send the relevant audio to the main system.
The main system is what’s connected to the Internet. Only it can send the audio file to the mother ship to be processed.
With this setup, they improve general security by ensuring only the keyword audio is accessible to the processing center of the device.
I totally believe this. Yes. Absolutely.
When would a major corporation from a culture that jacks off to cyberpunk dystopia lie?
You don’t think some nerd would have caught the network traffic on his firewall? Had a buddy watch his scrolling logs for giggles.
No trust involved. Filter logs to only display the device, turn the mic off, talk at it. You don’t think anyone ever tested this for giggles?
I’d try but my Minis are in the ceilings, can’t get to the microphone switch.
You don’t think they can detect MITM? Don’t you need a setup in the device itself to monitor traffic, but the system will be oblivious to it?
Do you think E2EE is only for consumers? How do you know if e2ee traffic from OS is asking for an “update” or is a tracking beacon or activity monitor?
I am genuinely interested in knowing how this could be caught without their Google specific source code.
Google is not a startup with engineers just out of college. It literally hires staff from spy agencies.
You think they sell someone within a degree of someone who could do that the same hardware as the average rube?
You think they can’t do shadow-mesh bullshit like TV’s do?
You think they transmit all data in the moment thwy receive it?
And… Do you know anyone who has tried? I haven’t.
I’m sure it’s true on like a schematics level but honestly this is mostly consumer placating and not like any actual hindrance to the thing listening in on everything you say
Oh yea, that’s believable. Sure there are 2 microphones in there and one can’t be turned off by the user, but don’t worry, the 2nd mic sucks and can’t listen to you!
Another SHIP??
When a mother ship and a father ship love each other very much, the mother ship will lay eggs inside your ear canal and /#REDACTED#/
