We live in an age where the voice can be processed locally on the phone (we’ve had on-device speech-to-text since the late 90s…), and it’s already listening for a wake word, meaning mic is always hot. It doesn’t need to be streamed and use bandwidth; it can fire off 4K of JSON every few hours and relay more than enough information.

Just program whole dictionary of key phrases and scan the wake word buffer like you are already doing. Easy, stealthy, encrypted. Every voice assistant from a major tech company could (and likely IS) doing this.

This also provides ample opportunity for domestic (or even foreign!) spying my state actors, too.

Apple is the one who got caught so far

If you think Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Samsung et al aren’t doing this, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

100%.

Also, we have two of these.

Maybe I misspoke; I meant “the commenters in this thread” because I was definitely reacting to some comments i saw here

I agree, and I think you approached this well.

It’s funny that most of the .world posts are like

1. That didn’t happen, you’re lying for internet points
2. Actually let’s talk about how tAnKiEs don’t actually read theory lmao

Vanilla extract became expensive, many ice cream makers used less, end result vanilla is considered the bland flavor because there is never any vanilla in it.

It’s fucking milksugar.

Find a vanilla with actual vanilla in it and it’ll grow hair on your tits, sweetie.

This is likely a JavaScript race condition created by autofill on the password field. Lots of websites have this now; some fucking framework or another doesn’t handle a paste/autofill on fields. Try adding a space after the password and then remove it again, see if it trips the validation checks

I saw an article that said they’re already talking about running her again.

These fucking ghouls took Bernie from us twice and think why can just shove Kamala down our throat because she’s “not Trump”? After actually losing?

God the DNC is so much worse than I once thought they were

Make no mistake, they will backpedal and apologize, but this was a flex. They want the public to know that their machines are fucking pwnt from top to bottom and they shouldn’t try any funny shit.

Apparently Biden’s been running on like one cylinder for the last 3 years (who could have guessed) so I guess you’d have to hope his team of DNC operatives would pardon; which will not happen.

They’re mostly just pardoning people who defrauded Medicaid and put kids in to private prisons for kickbacks, while revoking student debt cancellation.

You know, pulling the mask off since nothing matters anymore.

It was on a movie set where it is to be reasonably expected that the armorer will clear weapons to be safe on set and that actors aren’t expected to be firearms experts so that they are able to perform with them.

It should also be expected that said armorers do their job as expected and NOT shoot real ammo out of prop guns. And if they do, they’re expected to properly clear them; even though they never should in the first place.

But yeah, this was totally about Alec Baldwin the elite bourgeois flexing his real ultimate power of wealth and crushing the matter-nothing proletariat, the people have lost once again because he was not held accountable for someone else’s actions.

I’m all for eating the rich but let’s not just make shit up, that makes us look ridiculous.

Salad? For breakfast?

It’s cute that you think much paperwork is needed at all.

The only time they do paperwork is when they need to present evidence publicly, like in a court. Lead generation is essentially free, and then they just construct a parallel charge.

You do, they just don’t see much activity and therefore people assume they do not exist.

Discoverability is becoming a big issue for niche communities within Lemmy.

I almost wish that the community model was more like a tag, and there was just one single “plumbing” for all instances, for example. I realize though that this idea raises hell for moderation/what do you do when someone takes over a name for hateful purposes/where does the sidebar exist/etc.

Having separate comms on separate instances just results in the biggest instance hosting all the communities; at what point is that any better than Reddit?

There’s a way to change that

I looked at ONE light switch because I couldn’t find exactly the type in other stores (single-gang dual 2-way multipole) and now they will NOT stop emailing me about electrical equipment and supplies as if i was a contractor

Considering what STEMLords are like these days, I wouldn’t expect reasonable people to trust any of that brain implant shit ever. I will certainly be teaching my kids to say no to it.

I don’t know what kind of manipulation or mind control is even actually possible with current OR future tech, but to think it wouldn’t be used to the extent possible to exert control is via a brain implant is, at best, lacking “post-nut clarity” about the so-called Information Age.

5G mesh stations in everyone’s backyard

They then go on to describe what sounds like

• transmitting a single specific photon through ‘the internet’, implying start-to-finish with routing (not possible without special infrastructure)

• Use that photon to then send information instantly by manipulating its entangled sibling (also not possible)

So yeah this article is a crock of shit.
