My brother is learning how to speak Spanish, so he and my dad started talking to each other in Spanish around the house to help him out. Less than 2 days later, all of the commercials we got on Hulu (through our Roku) were in Spanish. We all got a laugh out of it, but it definitely creeped us out.
My girlfriend asked me why I carry a firearm in the house. I said “because you never know who could be in here”. She laughed, I laughed, Alexa laughed, I shot the Alexa. It was a good time
There have been many times where I have a phone conversation or just have my phone in my pocket about a product, say glocks, or toothbrushes, and boom I start getting ads for them. I google learning things about getting into IT, here come the ads. The sad part is everyone knows about this and everyone just shrugs it off.

Call me paranoid, I paid cash for a prepaid card, used it to have a prepaid phone delivered to a mail drop using only a dummy email set up at the library, so that I can get online with out worrying about who's tracking my info.
I was at the range in February 2019 when my sister called me from another state, on my cell phone. I put my sidearm down and carried on with the conversation. A few minutes into the call, we were talking about home improvements. When she looked up some ideas for windows, she said, where are you?, I’m getting ad’s for ammunition. That’s when I felt I was being spied on.
Just for curiosity, were one or both Apple phones? I've had a deep seeded distrust for Apple products, and just trying to see if there is any correlation to product lines. If you do own them, I have no quarrel, I served so that we have the right to choose.
SInce you are into guns there is a chance that other family members have done searches for similar things. The point of these AI systems is to make things easier to operate. People are then assuming this means that they are listening to everything. There is simply not enough computational power on earth to analyse all that data with meaning. Some day there will be that computing power but not yet. The real key in all of this is not that they are listening but the power of AI.
There are multiple times I have been talking aloud with someone and when I get back online I will see an advertisement for something like I was talking about. The most recent thing I noticed was I was discussing something and when I went to text it on my phone the predictive text had it ready to type out. There is no explanation other than the phone is listening to me.

@@mrniceshoes2118 that's crazy! It's nice that it does that for convenience, but if it is clearly listening to us then I'm sure there are other people listening in which is not convenient it's scary.
@@mrniceshoes2118 I was teaching my kid what the literal meaning of the country name Portugal was, the next day TH-cam had a video suggestion on the same subject. It has happened on other topics also, but this was the most random and obvious.
On road trips, the kids and I play a game. We pick a product name like "Harley". We randomly slip it in to all our conversations. Then wait and see how long it takes to pop up on our phones.
Its happened several times to me and my friends. We drive 80 miles one way to work and 80 back home. So needless to say we have alot of conversation, and I've lost count of all the times we have talked about wanting to buy something, then boom a ad will appear of Facebook or other forms of social media.
I've had many recent experiences where topics I'm discussing in conversation suddenly appear in my TH-cam feed. It's pretty easy to see that something is listening to everything we say.
Note re trackers: "See the sky" means somewhere in/on the car where a signal can receive a signal from either cell phone towers OR at least one satellite. UNDER the car is not the best place, because of the shielding - being surrounded by signal absorbing metal above blocks signals, so the receiver is only occasionally picking up cell tower signals as it passes by them. It still works, but as mentioned in the video, as soon as you're out of range of cell towers, the ONLY way to be tracked is with satellites. Being UNDER a car means that only satellites near the horizon will be picked up. So . . . if someone has access to your car, they're going to prefer to put it under a seat, b/c there's less metal blocking a signal, and it goes right through the glass windows. Look THERE first, then under the car, in wheel wells or (unlikely) in the trunk or under the hood. It needs to "see the sky" only in the sense of getting a signal, whether nearby, even reflected or weak from a nearby antenna, not in the "line of sight" sense.
My wife read our son 2 story books for bedtime. After reading the stories her notification alarm went off for Facebook. It was an add for the very same books she had just read our son. I tell her we are always being monitored and that was proof in the pudding.

I did a unit security officers course in the army, one of the instructors walked through the class after we had removed our phone batteries, he had a briefcase and he had downloaded all our personal information.
I took the wife and son to DC. At Arlington National Cemetery I was last in the security line, the others passed through after dropping cell phones on conveyor. I was told several times to put my phone on belt and it wouldn’t hurt the phone, I told them I didn’t carry a cphone and was ordered to put it on the belt! I was pulled to the side by security and wanded and patted down. After establishing I hadn’t lied the HLS agent took a break and we had a Five min. Discussion on living without a cell phone...how do you navigate DC? I use a map! How do you call people while traveling? I don’t unless I can find a landline!.....wow was all I got and then have a nice day! Lol

Thanks for this post. It's been decades since I had my clearance, and your conversation reminds me of some of the training and advice I was given. As the head of my tiny studio, I was the one who had to write the manual for employees to understand procedures for handling and securing any data we received or created. In the early 1980s I was invited to join an international group of film & video producers. At one of the annual conferences, the Finnish member was proposing we invite a Soviet production group to join. This naturally lead to a discussion of security, since a number of us had clearances, and not a few were still reserve officers with NATO or U.S. uniformed services. Knowing that any Soviet Group would have almost certainly had a few members either active Komityet Gosudarstvenny Byezoposnosti (KGB) or folks trained by them, those of us with active security clearance would have been required to submit comprehensive reports of any meetings /conferences we attended. Thankfully, the proposal was not accepted. So you can sorta understand why people who have never had to deal with Clearance or even Commercial Confidentiality agreements might have NO WAY to understand how Bill Clinton, a Rhodes Scholar attending Oxford University and showing up to London AntiWar Protests against U.S. war against Communist North Vietnam, would have been assigned a KGB-trained set of handlers by Inturist when he visited Moscow. During the Soviet Era, NO visitors from Western _democracies_ could travel solo in the USSR; they were assigned companions from the State Agency Inturist to accompany and guide them. Soviet citizens could be arrested simply for engaging in conversations with Westerners. It's easy to imagine that Wm. J. "Couldn't-keep-it-zipped" Clinton would have been very easily compromised, and may have left the KGB with juicy evidence they could later use against him.
So I was telling my wife I wanted to go to a warrior poet shooting school in Atlanta for my birthday, and now I'm getting hotel recommendation for hotels in Atlanta.

I've had some close acquisition and targeting reconnaissance training while in the Army. I was very surprised where, and in what, you can hide cameras, microphones and tracking devices. I put a fully functioning camera/mic in a toaster that still functioned as a toaster, but the device was protected from the heat. I also put a audio recorder in a small alarm clock. I need to start checking the hotels I stay in, as a travel at least once a month for reasons.
I was walking home and I walk through this trail on my way home that goes kinda through the woods, I was talking with a friend who was walking with me about a specific coding book which I had never heard of in my life. My phone is neither signed into google nor amazon. I went home and when I sat at my computer (still the same day, maybe an hour later) which is also not signed into google or amazon (unless I manually sign in) and suddenly I am getting ads for the exact book that he was telling me about in what was basically the woods. It made me want to dig a hole in my backyard and live in it with one of those tin can phone contraptions being my only contact with the outside world. However, google would then probably just strap some tiny camera backpacks to worms to watch me with.
Just had it happen again! Was at the mall and texting someone... I was thinking about going to Ghirardelli and as i typed G it automatically suggested that place! Weird, as my Wi-Fi and location was off, and there are numerous shops around! Spooky!!
I knew decades before the public that at least some landlines could be listened to even when they were hung up. Same for access to cells and cameras, basically anything with an electronic connection.
There was a time when the CIA and other agencies had to gain access to your place to get information. People willing put listening devices and cameras in their own homes. Anything with smart in its name tracks you, listens to you, or provides video. I can turn the volume up or down, turn the thermostat on or off my damn self thank you very much

Recently, a friend and I were talking to someone else at a bar.

As someone who spends a lot of time in hotel rooms due to work, I'm curious to know if there are any reliable, effective (and inexpensive) "scramblers" commercially available that would sufficiently block audio and/or visual surveillance devices that could have been be placed in the room.

Great video guys.I was playing a time-wasting game while my wife was watching TV a few years ago. The game always had ads, you know how they are. But a minute after the "Bristol paints" ad on my wife's TV program, the exact same ad played on my phone. The reason I remember the brand, is that I'd never seen it before.

2019 and they didn't even get into Smart TV's tracking us. Smart TV's have been found to have hidden cameras and microphones embedded in them. There is also technology that takes advantage of your own wifi router to track you in your own home and know how many people are in your home and their exact location with in your home. From what I have read on the topic; the technology uses the wifi radio signals your router is bouncing around the house to detect you. Not exactly sure which devices are doing the tracking after that, though. Could be a smart TV, Siri or Alexa or other box you unwittingly brought in to your own home. It'd actually be nice for the home owner to have direct access to this technology for home defense / personal defense. Say you come home from work or a night out, and your front door is wide open and looks to have been forced open. Whip out your phone and check the home for active intruders, as a precursor to doing a room clearing search, that sort of thing would be real handy. But not so much for Google-Fakebook, China, FBI, NSA, DEA, DHS or local police to use on you in your own home.
It is a form of mind control and associations. Some people are more suseptable to suggestion and some are more difficult to hypnotize. Welcome to the future.
Social engineering.. mind control, if you control the media and internet, you can control the way people think. better technology is making this more efficient in being directed at specific people / groups of people. It’s a technology based version of inception, people don’t even realize that the thoughts they have are influenced by their interaction with media that is becoming more and more targeted
Big Brother is definitely always listening... A few years ago my wife and I were eating at a local Subway and started talking about an upcoming trip to SC... Nothing special in our conversation, just the normal stuff about where we were staying, things to do, etc... She did use her phone to look up details about what we were discussing as well... She also called, using her phone of couse; to verify our reservation on the Middleton Plantation while we were there... After that information related to what we had talked about started showing up in a non-related search on "my" phone...! It was an eye opener for me even though I know it happens... It was the first time its happened to me or my wife...!
Recently I was on a hunt in a remote cabin on Kodiak Alaska. While stuck in the cabin for a rainy day, we talked about a homesteader in Alaska, while my phone sat right beside me in airplane mode, after listening to a book. We talked in depth about how this homesteader, how he gave up his previous life to live this lonely life. Now fast forward 2 weeks, I come home and go to my youtube, and this guy we were just talking about is all over my recommended youtube list. I've never searched for this guy, or anything to do about building cabins or homesteading.....EVER.

Noticing how paranoid these former SOF guys are, even in their own country is really making me think Edit: to be clear in saying "paranoid" I'm not meaning to scrutinize.

@@smprfly does it? It's not the main stream of cultural flow. That seems counter productive. Closing off your own growth potential. If they made a new bluetooth device that helped collect data in the form of a passive action such as step tracking and checking into different locations as a sort of fun way to interact with others around you would be way more lucrative..
@@stewartstewartstewart you're completely wrong about that. Pretty much any smart device can be listening to us through AI software. And they pick up on key words and patterns we say. So guess what, if you're a gun nut like most people on this channel and the AI hears you saying guns, explode, powder, charged, etc, and then you start a new conversation with a cop or doctor/ nurse buddy of yours, now they can connect those firearm related terms to things like police station and hospital and bam, now you're on a list somewhere, and ATF or FBI could be at your door in no time. We're always being listened and watched. You best believe that. This has been going on since the 60s.
Funny, that you should ask... A few years ago my friend and I were on the phone talking (about unapproved info apparently) for roughly 20 minutes when my business partner called in. I let it go to VM and continued my conversation when he rang in again. I figured it must be important so I ended the call and called him back. Upon wakening him he declared he did not call me as he was asleep. Uh, huh!?
Definitely noticed big brother watching! Even last night we were at my parents and talking about camping gear and when my dad picked up his phone it had a notification of a sale on camping gear!
I was at friends of the family for a birthday and at some point someone brings up this exotic fruit, most of us had never even heard of it so I went to google it. I only had to type in the first letter and it was the first word in the autofill... that really freaked me the hell out.
It may have nothing to do with listening. These AI predictive systems are so good at analysing your search history that they can start to understand patterns. If you are into healthy living the systems will learn this and then start to adjust.

So funny you mention the “Always listening” and advert thing, just had this happen in such a specific way. A buddy called me to borrow my HVLP Wagner paint sprayer for some work, I told him it was already lent out to another friend but it would be back next week. He needed one sooner than that, I suggested that he go on Amazon and use the prime delivery and have it the next day (some advantages to living in Tokyo!). Now my advert feed on Google Chrome is chock full of Wagner HVLP paint sprayer adverts. Yep they are always listening...... even here in Japan! Cheers
Me and my friends were it camping one of them went to bed early after a few to many and left his phone out. hearing this thing about phones listening to you but not fully believing it we put his phone in the middle of out group and periodically throughout the next 5 hours or so we kept menshoning tampons. The next day he was bombarded with advertisements for tampons everytime he went on the net it was hilariousfpr us but he wasn't very impressesd. But it dose show they are listening

"cell" phone>prison "cell" im old enough to remember before mobile phones back when we all remembered 50+ peoples phone numbers. "smart" phones make us dumb er (sometimes)
Since you asked for examples...... In explaining that the phones are *always* listening I was challenged that they are not unless you use key phrases like "Alexa", "Hey Siri", "OK Google", etc. My argument was that the phone only knows you said those phrases if it listens to everything then performs analysis on the phrase to determine if it should respond or not. Additionally, the we performed a test to prove not only that the phones listened but that the data retrieved is used outside the phone. To do this we left all technology indoors and went outside to discuss a topic we have never and would never discuss in our daily lives. As we are corporate IT workers, we chose "Animal husbandry". Something neither of us had ever discussed, mentioned or performed internet searches for. Over the next few days we began discussing "Animal Husbandry" using that keyword as often as possible. We used phrases like "What is animal husbandry?", "How do you get started in animal husbandry?", etc. After two days of this casual discussion we both started to receive targeted advertisements in amazon and google for "cattle insemination kits" as well as literature for animal husbandry. That pretty much settled the argument on "are the phones always listening".
Talking about key loggers, don't buy a keyboard from a department store or anyplace that might sell you a used (previous return) keyboard. I bought a keyboard from a Walmart logged into PayPal and with in 15 minutes the account went crazy making purchases everywhere.

All from a $25 keyboard at Walmart.
Every time my friends or coworkers and I discuss something, that topic later will be recommended by TH-cam. One example from the laundry list of things that have shown up is tv shows or movies, I can ask someone “have you seen a specific movie” and later that movie trailer will be recommended by TH-cam.

Your phones are definitely listening. My wife and I were in the process of putting our house up for sale and talking about possibly renting it out if it didn’t sell in the timeframe we were hoping for. We got into the discussion of possibly getting a property management company to take care of collecting rent, repairs, and gardening since we planned on moving several hours away. This is not a common conversation for every day use. A day later, I began getting ads for property management companies on my phone news feeds and TH-cam videos. I never searched on line for a property management company, we had only talked about our options if we had to. Beware of what you say near your phone or pretty much any “smart home” product. They are listening.

@@mrniceshoes2118 that's crazy! It's nice that it does that for convenience, but if it is clearly listening to us then I'm sure there are other people listening in which is not convenient it's scary.
@@mrniceshoes2118 I was teaching my kid what the literal meaning of the country name Portugal was, the next day TH-cam had a video suggestion on the same subject. It has happened on other topics also, but this was the most random and obvious.
On road trips, the kids and I play a game.
We pick a product name like "Harley". We randomly slip it in to all our conversations. Then wait and see how long it takes to pop up on our phones.
Good excercise.
I like the profile picture, are you a Latter-Day Saint?
oh i love that game!

Its happened several times to me and my friends. We drive 80 miles one way to work and 80 back home. So needless to say we have alot of conversation, and I've lost count of all the times we have talked about wanting to buy something, then boom a ad will appear of Facebook or other forms of social media.
I love listening to Clint Emerson. It helps me to feel more confident and aware their are things I can do to protect myself.
I've had many recent experiences where topics I'm discussing in conversation suddenly appear in my TH-cam feed. It's pretty easy to see that something is listening to everything we say.
Mr. Self all the time, and I know I haven’t done a search prior for said topic
Note re trackers: "See the sky" means somewhere in/on the car where a signal can receive a signal from either cell phone towers OR at least one satellite. UNDER the car is not the best place, because of the shielding - being surrounded by signal absorbing metal above blocks signals, so the receiver is only occasionally picking up cell tower signals as it passes by them. It still works, but as mentioned in the video, as soon as you're out of range of cell towers, the ONLY way to be tracked is with satellites. Being UNDER a car means that only satellites near the horizon will be picked up. So . . . if someone has access to your car, they're going to prefer to put it under a seat, b/c there's less metal blocking a signal, and it goes right through the glass windows. Look THERE first, then under the car, in wheel wells or (unlikely) in the trunk or under the hood. It needs to "see the sky" only in the sense of getting a signal, whether nearby, even reflected or weak from a nearby antenna, not in the "line of sight" sense.
My wife read our son 2 story books for bedtime. After reading the stories her notification alarm went off for Facebook. It was an add for the very same books she had just read our son. I tell her we are always being monitored and that was proof in the pudding.

I took the wife and son to DC. At Arlington National Cemetery I was last in the security line, the others passed through after dropping cell phones on conveyor. I was told several times to put my phone on belt and it wouldn’t hurt the phone, I told them I didn’t carry a cphone and was ordered to put it on the belt! I was pulled to the side by security and wanded and patted down. After establishing I hadn’t lied the HLS agent took a break and we had a Five min. Discussion on living without a cell phone...how do you navigate DC? I use a map! How do you call people while traveling? I don’t unless I can find a landline!.....wow was all I got and then have a nice day! Lol

Thanks for this post. It's been decades since I had my clearance, and your conversation reminds me of some of the training and advice I was given. As the head of my tiny studio, I was the one who had to write the manual for employees to understand procedures for handling and securing any data we received or created. In the early 1980s I was invited to join an international group of film & video producers. At one of the annual conferences, the Finnish member was proposing we invite a Soviet production group to join. This naturally lead to a discussion of security, since a number of us had clearances, and not a few were still reserve officers with NATO or U.S. uniformed services. Knowing that any Soviet Group would have almost certainly had a few members either active Komityet Gosudarstvenny Byezoposnosti (KGB) or folks trained by them, those of us with active security clearance would have been required to submit comprehensive reports of any meetings /conferences we attended. Thankfully, the proposal was not accepted.
So you can sorta understand why people who have never had to deal with Clearance or even Commercial Confidentiality agreements might have NO WAY to understand how Bill Clinton, a Rhodes Scholar attending Oxford University and showing up to London AntiWar Protests against U.S. war against Communist North Vietnam, would have been assigned a KGB-trained set of handlers by Inturist when he visited Moscow. During the Soviet Era, NO visitors from Western _democracies_ could travel solo in the USSR; they were assigned companions from the State Agency Inturist to accompany and guide them. Soviet citizens could be arrested simply for engaging in conversations with Westerners. It's easy to imagine that Wm. J. "Couldn't-keep-it-zipped" Clinton would have been very easily compromised, and may have left the KGB with juicy evidence they could later use against him.

I've had some close acquisition and targeting reconnaissance training while in the Army. I was very surprised where, and in what, you can hide cameras, microphones and tracking devices. I put a fully functioning camera/mic in a toaster that still functioned as a toaster, but the device was protected from the heat. I also put a audio recorder in a small alarm clock.
I need to start checking the hotels I stay in, as a travel at least once a month for reasons.
I bet there was a lot of emi when the toaster was heating.
I was walking home and I walk through this trail on my way home that goes kinda through the woods, I was talking with a friend who was walking with me about a specific coding book which I had never heard of in my life. My phone is neither signed into google nor amazon. I went home and when I sat at my computer (still the same day, maybe an hour later) which is also not signed into google or amazon (unless I manually sign in) and suddenly I am getting ads for the exact book that he was telling me about in what was basically the woods. It made me want to dig a hole in my backyard and live in it with one of those tin can phone contraptions being my only contact with the outside world. However, google would then probably just strap some tiny camera backpacks to worms to watch me with.
Thank you John. Thanks Clint.

Your sportsman guide commercials are the best on youtube. The walmart ammo one was the best.
I knew decades before the public that at least some landlines could be listened to even when they were hung up. Same for access to cells and cameras, basically anything with an electronic connection.
There was a time when the CIA and other agencies had to gain access to your place to get information. People willing put listening devices and cameras in their own homes.

I was taking with a co-worker about David Ramsey's budgeting, while driving to a job site. The next time I opened my phone I had related vidoes on my TH-cam.

Client and I were talking about how flip flops were messing up her feet and that she should try to keep in sneakers...same day she got an ad for orthotic flip flops.
As someone who spends a lot of time in hotel rooms due to work, I'm curious to know if there are any reliable, effective (and inexpensive) "scramblers" commercially available that would sufficiently block audio and/or visual surveillance devices that could have been be placed in the room. Any ideas?
Great video guys.I was playing a time-wasting game while my wife was watching TV a few years ago. The game always had ads, you know how they are. But a minute after the "Bristol paints" ad on my wife's TV program, the exact same ad played on my phone. The reason I remember the brand, is that I'd never seen it before.

2019 and they didn't even get into Smart TV's tracking us. Smart TV's have been found to have hidden cameras and microphones embedded in them.
There is also technology that takes advantage of your own wifi router to track you in your own home and know how many people are in your home and their exact location with in your home. From what I have read on the topic; the technology uses the wifi radio signals your router is bouncing around the house to detect you. Not exactly sure which devices are doing the tracking after that, though. Could be a smart TV, Siri or Alexa or other box you unwittingly brought in to your own home.
It'd actually be nice for the home owner to have direct access to this technology for home defense / personal defense. Say you come home from work or a night out, and your front door is wide open and looks to have been forced open. Whip out your phone and check the home for active intruders, as a precursor to doing a room clearing search, that sort of thing would be real handy. But not so much for Google-Fakebook, China, FBI, NSA, DEA, DHS or local police to use on you in your own home.

I actually have noticed times that an instagram ad popped up for something I was thinking about and never said.
It is a form of mind control and associations. Some people are more suseptable to suggestion and some are more difficult to hypnotize. Welcome to the future.
Social engineering.. mind control, if you control the media and internet, you can control the way people think. better technology is making this more efficient in being directed at specific people / groups of people.
It’s a technology based version of inception, people don’t even realize that the thoughts they have are influenced by their interaction with media that is becoming more and more targeted
Big Brother is definitely always listening... A few years ago my wife and I were eating at a local Subway and started talking about an upcoming trip to SC... Nothing special in our conversation, just the normal stuff about where we were staying, things to do, etc... She did use her phone to look up details about what we were discussing as well... She also called, using her phone of couse; to verify our reservation on the Middleton Plantation while we were there... After that information related to what we had talked about started showing up in a non-related search on "my" phone...! It was an eye opener for me even though I know it happens... It was the first time its happened to me or my wife...!
Best intro yet sirs. Cheers to you. God bless.
Recently I was on a hunt in a remote cabin on Kodiak Alaska. While stuck in the cabin for a rainy day, we talked about a homesteader in Alaska, while my phone sat right beside me in airplane mode, after listening to a book. We talked in depth about how this homesteader, how he gave up his previous life to live this lonely life. Now fast forward 2 weeks, I come home and go to my youtube, and this guy we were just talking about is all over my recommended youtube list. I've never searched for this guy, or anything to do about building cabins or homesteading.....EVER.
I have thought about things and they show up on my phone advertisements. or I speak of something it comes up on my phone.

So guess what, if you're a gun nut like most people on this channel and the AI hears you saying guns, explode, powder, charged, etc, and then you start a new conversation with a cop or doctor/ nurse buddy of yours, now they can connect those firearm related terms to things like police station and hospital and bam, now you're on a list somewhere, and ATF or FBI could be at your door in no time.
We're always being listened and watched. You best believe that.
This has been going on since the 60s.
Literally this video was recommended right after I had messaged somebody about this exact topic.
Funny, that you should ask... A few years ago my friend and I were on the phone talking (about unapproved info apparently) for roughly 20 minutes when my business partner called in. I let it go to VM and continued my conversation when he rang in again. I figured it must be important so I ended the call and called him back. Upon wakening him he declared he did not call me as he was asleep. Uh, huh!?
Definitely noticed big brother watching! Even last night we were at my parents and talking about camping gear and when my dad picked up his phone it had a notification of a sale on camping gear!
I was at friends of the family for a birthday and at some point someone brings up this exotic fruit, most of us had never even heard of it so I went to google it. I only had to type in the first letter and it was the first word in the autofill... that really freaked me the hell out.
It may have nothing to do with listening. These AI predictive systems are so good at analysing your search history that they can start to understand patterns.
If you are into healthy living the systems will learn this and then start to adjust.

"cell" phone>prison "cell" im old enough to remember before mobile phones back when we all remembered 50+ peoples phone numbers. "smart" phones make us dumb er (sometimes)
Before Gutenberg invented the printing press, most people had amazing memory capacity.
never thought about it that way. but i guess the printing press was the smart phone of its day
Since you asked for examples......
In explaining that the phones are *always* listening I was challenged that they are not unless you use key phrases like "Alexa", "Hey Siri", "OK Google", etc. My argument was that the phone only knows you said those phrases if it listens to everything then performs analysis on the phrase to determine if it should respond or not.
Additionally, the we performed a test to prove not only that the phones listened but that the data retrieved is used outside the phone. To do this we left all technology indoors and went outside to discuss a topic we have never and would never discuss in our daily lives. As we are corporate IT workers, we chose "Animal husbandry". Something neither of us had ever discussed, mentioned or performed internet searches for.
Over the next few days we began discussing "Animal Husbandry" using that keyword as often as possible. We used phrases like "What is animal husbandry?", "How do you get started in animal husbandry?", etc.
After two days of this casual discussion we both started to receive targeted advertisements in amazon and google for "cattle insemination kits" as well as literature for animal husbandry.
That pretty much settled the argument on "are the phones always listening".
Talking about key loggers, don't buy a keyboard from a department store or anyplace that might sell you a used (previous return) keyboard. I bought a keyboard from a Walmart logged into PayPal and with in 15 minutes the account went crazy making purchases everywhere. I took the keyboard apart and found a small micro chip (key logger) soldered into the wiring by the lights to show caps lock etc. They stole $1.5k before the account was taken back over and all payment methods removed. All from a $25 keyboard at Walmart.
I had a refurbished laptop. Every time I used it I got hacked . Now I'm thinking about opening that thing up.
Every time my friends or coworkers and I discuss something, that topic later will be recommended by TH-cam. One example from the laundry list of things that have shown up is tv shows or movies, I can ask someone “have you seen a specific movie” and later that movie trailer will be recommended by TH-cam.
I just tested this and said in a very low voice “was there a movie called “a history of violence” I then opened safari and typed “ a his” and it brought up the movie
I literally just read your comment,opened a new Tab on Chrome and typed ''A his'' and it autocompleted to ''A history of violence''
I was talking about purchasing a distillation kit, of all things. And ads started popping up on my social media and shopping platforms. No joke was weird as hell! I’m in Canada so it is everywhere! Now 5G everywhere! But like everything it will some how fly over everyone’s radars!
Great show! Be good!

the reason you cant take the battery out on most phones is to prevent user serviceability.
Actually it's for water proofing. You cannot have any openings to the mother board and keep it water tight. The fact that we cannot change batteries is just an added bonus for phone makers

Was talking about a trip my friend was on in Jerusalem, next day I was getting ads on Facebook for "top 10 best things to do in Jerusalem." I was also talking about a scene from a movie, and that night the scene and movie was popping up on youtube and ads.

Wish you super squids would do some videos on war wounds and how they have affected your lifes plus how you physically overcome.
Plenty of operations to come back from so is there a special SOG Dr group whose focus is the teams and keeping them in the game?
I was telling my daughter how much I like my cellphone which is several years old and wasn't planning to get a new one anytime soon. The next day my battery life was cut in half. I'm still using the phone but the battery sucks.
AI is like a finicky ,high maintenance girlfriend. They get mad when you don't spend on them. Thus,your battery dilemma.
I was talking to my supervisor about a chemical look-up software I had to train people on. He told me to use Rust oleum as an example and 20 minutes later I was receiving ads for Rust oleum on Facebook.
Big Brother is always listening
I was playing solitaire with actual cards. I got on the internet on my phone and there were solitaire ads.

Your phones are definitely listening. My wife and I were in the process of putting our house up for sale and talking about possibly renting it out if it didn’t sell in the timeframe we were hoping for. We got into the discussion of possibly getting a property management company to take care of collecting rent, repairs, and gardening since we planned on moving several hours away. This is not a common conversation for every day use. A day later, I began getting ads for property management companies on my phone news feeds and TH-cam videos. I never searched on line for a property management company, we had only talked about our options if we had to. Beware of what you say near your phone or pretty much any “smart home” product. They are listening.
