@vatrox Why not chuck these devices into the fire?
@doenietzomoeilijk
Do those things have microphones?
@fatboy @vatrox@digitalcourage.social
@doenietzomoeilijk @everlastingrocks @fatboy @vatrox i mean maybe the capacitive coupling of some wires in there varies as they jiggle in sound waves. Or it can do wifi without a wifi chip and detect redshift from vibrating objects.
If you're getting rid of them, i'll buy them. (not seriously) My next phone is a Huawei, i will decorate with commie China covers and make the ringtone the Chinese anthem, btw.
What chance against spying do we stand anyway.
@tabseverywhere @everlastingrocks @fatboy @vatrox majority of robo vacs have microphones?
@tabseverywhere @everlastingrocks @fatboy @vatrox I hope not, but it's the virtual assistant devices that are consist of microphone
@tabseverywhere @everlastingrocks @fatboy @vatrox oh, yes, those. Definitely. It's the main reason I don't want them in my house.
@everlastingrocks @fatboy @vatrox not as far as I know, no. 😉 Nothing in terms of speech commands anyway, which is just the way I like it.
Xiaomi Roborock S5 Max, fwiw.
