Cheap welders blowing up my tablet!
Combination mig Tig arc and plasma cutters at double digit prices all the same units from many sources including Costco. What kind of scam is this?

You’ve been talking around Siri or Alexa.

Yup.

They are always listening.

Anecdotal story, man taught his parrot to say an obscene phrase, once it caught on, he left his smart TV and tablet on while at work.

Days later, guess what ads he was getting? And, plenty of them.

Question: Are any electronic devices on and in the bedroom on date night?

I was in a conversation and nothing that was said was anything like "Hey, Siri." When my iphone announced, "here's what I found on the web." I looked at the screen and above it was what I had just said word for word. Then below that were search hits on what I had just said.

So, yes, they're always listening. No wonder you can't take the battery out of your iphone anymore.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Actually, yes. I've been having trouble w/ the ladies for awhile. I can't seem to get a relationship going. So I asked, "Siri, what's my problem? Why am I so bad w/ the ladies?".
The response?
"Um, my name is Alexa?!"

Just wait until some criminal is arrested and they put Siri or Alexa on the stand as a material witness because they overheard said criminal planning the crime.

Obviously tongue in cheek but on a more serious note, if phones are eavesdropping on us (and they clearly are) what else is being collected for use against people? Its very 1984-ish.
