3·19 days agoWait, in that case maybe complaining is a bit justified? Different of course of it’s a place off the beaten path, but if it’s a hotbed of English-speaking tourists then having staff that speak their language seems pretty important.
Guess it’s really hard to say without more context (story of the internet).
41·20 days agoI’m sure you’ll find some good explanations online, but there’s an “activation” circuit on the device “listening” that then engages the rest of the system when it’s triggered. So there’s no recording or sending of data until the activation phrase has been said, and the activation phrase detection is done locally on the device.
My understanding is the mics aren’t “live” until the activation phrase is said, then they record and send that data for processing. If someone has proven otherwise I’d love to see their methods.
The scary thing isn’t that they’re listening, it’s that they collect so much other data that they don’t have to.
Hasn’t this been proven to be false? People have monitored the network traffic and phones don’t listen like this; it’s just not practical.
Instead, they keep track of your browsing, location, contacts, etc and build a profile well enough they don’t need to listen to you.
Wow, wonder how long it took them to fill that up?

The charitable interpretation is that it was just hyperbole as a joke. Unfortunately, for that to be true, he would have to think it’s a ridiculous thing to say and I’m not sure he does.

Those are nails. It’d be better if they were screws as the extra length would be easy to snap off. Nails are less brittle so you need to cut them off or bend them over.
It’s important for the sense of scale
Pretty sure those made the other list for least attractive

I’ve never heard of Very Annoying. Is it good?

Well yeah, but I was trying to stick to the wording of the shower thought. We’ve all played Kerbal Space Program
