Oh but they totally are, it gotta make sure you didn’t ask voice bots something. Anyway, its something you don’t opt out of because that would require a totally de-googled device using lineageos or something and avoiding voice things, also it goes off IP rather than device. For example, my dad visited my house and started to complain about getting youtube ads in Tamil and then being amused by some of the ads and going down a youtube Kollywood wormhole. I do watch a lot of foreign film where my phone can hear me, so every once in a while I’ll get an ad of the language of the last film watched, which is sort of funny ngl.

Self hosted retro private EQemu, I also use the server for Jellyfin, just for music.

I used to use it to control my window AC from work too, but sadly the smart plug I use for that died over the winter, was nice to pair with those tuya-alternative through http since my cheapo phone needs to save all the storage it can. Its on a very old rig, so I’m always impressed that it still works.

There probably are, there’s a reason why super high security systems aim for airgapping of sorts, and even that’s not immune.
