Don't forget all the TV panels in your house listening in on you too. Me, I don't plug any "smart" TV into the Internet. But a lot of folks do.
I think the horse has left the barn on this kind of technology. What I hate most about it is that it's impossible for an ordinary person to understand exactly what all might be spying on them at any moment.
- slouch 7y agoSure, but TVs aren't always on like this Nest device.
- bob1029 7y agoThis is not always true anymore. Many modern Samsung TVs (and I am sure some other popular brands) have a standby update option, which would imply it is actually "always on". Ideally, it is only checking for the latest firmware version while you think it's off, but almost certainly it is doing other nefarious things you have zero visibility into.
