That’s the one, but I’m sure he’s only ever done it once…

essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphoneEnglish222·8 months agoPerhaps they track who you talk to and show you ads that are relevant to those people, or their best guess based on two profiles.
I don’t think there’s a data center out there with a live audio stream of literally billions of always-on devices 24/7/365.
Perhaps there’s some local processing first, but devices have permissions for apps, and lights that indicate the mic/camera is in use.
I figure someone would have figured it out by now (reverse engineering, decompiling code), or someone from Google/Apple/Samsung would have leaked it if it were true. Think of the number of people required to keep this secret.
essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Starlink to roll out direct-to-cell services in Ukraine - CNAEnglish2·8 months agoI understand that people don’t like Musk, I can’t stand him myself, but there are enough bad things that he really did, to not have to stick to false narratives.
The downvoting of the objectively proven truth here is like reading something on Twitter, but in the opposite direction. It’s incredible to me that someone invoked Snopes and spouted the opposite of the findings of that Snopes article, and is being upvoted for it.
essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Starlink to roll out direct-to-cell services in Ukraine - CNAEnglish42·8 months agoHowever, as Musk objected immediately and Isaacson would clarify soon after, the claim that Musk had ordered Starlink coverage in Crimea “turned off” wasn’t entirely accurate. (Both CNN and The Washington Post subsequently corrected their reports.)
From the article you linked.
CNN and TWP both corrected what they wrote, but you know better?
essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple pulls remaining Lightning-based devices from European storesEnglish151·8 months agoI don’t think making the end of a cable smaller is an important thing any more. We’re not dealing with SCART or serial cables any more. USB C is definitely small enough. Micro and mini were small enough too.
The complaint about the cables seems fine when the company the post is about profited from those cables. Design flaws boosted their sales.
As for the regular USB cables eventually fraying, sure, all things have wear and tear, but some things are designed to fail faster for profits.

essteeyou@lemmy.worldtoMovies and TV Shows@lemm.ee•BBC Hired Security for Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) During 'Cunk on Life' after an incident in Las Vegas42·8 months agoI wonder why she was actively trying to avoid eye contact with him. Must be because he was behaving totally normally.

essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Dredge is free to claim for the next 24 hours on EpicEnglish105·9 months agoSo funny seeing the comments on the GOG article saying how it’s basically Steam’s only competition, and it would be bad if it were to fail, and then come here and see the exact opposite.
essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube is cracking down on clickbaitEnglish3·9 months agoI haven’t seen any of the usual self-righteous “I only use self-hosted video services” comments in here yet though.
essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Bluesky teases paid subscription, Bluesky+, in new mockupEnglish2·9 months agoThe timelines are vastly different here. Twitter had like 15 years to figure it out.

If Snapchat and Telegram didn’t exist the kids would still be doing it via some other means. Are you going to sue the idea of communication?
It has to be someone else’s fault, right? There’s nothing the parents could do.
essteeyou@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•All of Telegram's Lies About PrivacyEnglish83·9 months agoWho didn’t it work for? I switched to Signal in about 2016 or so, and haven’t had a problem with it. Admittedly I’m a software developer, and typically use high-end devices, so my knowledge is severely lacking.

I know why you included both, but saying “1 adb command” and then posting two is funny to me.
