Why not just have similar device adjacent to the device that you're worried might eavesdrop on you?

- DyslexicAtheist 7y agowhy not have any eavesdropping devices in the first place. when somebody invites me around, I usually ask if they own one of these things and I regretfully decline the offer if that's the case and instead invite them to my home.
- _-___________-_ 7y agoyeah I agree. my question was, more completely, "if you have one of these things, why carry the countermeasure around instead of putting it next to the device?"
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agogotcha! that would make more sense yeah. Maybe they trying to pitch it as a fashion thing - like a social/personal statement. All these mitigations seems strange to me since mitigations are always an attack surface too.
- eyegor 7y agoMost people own smartphones these days, which will also record and analyze everything they can hear.
