It’s sad I never realized how many things have microphones in my room. I wondered all the different ways advertisers can use audio for targeted ads the other day and came across an article recently talking about how the CIA was able to tap into Smart Samsung TVs and spoof the speaker light to not be on. Its a fucking scary world we live in.
Just in my peripheral we have smart TV with mic in the remote, laptop with mic, phone with mic, PS5 Controller with mic, Switch 2 with one and an IR Camera in both controllers, overear Headphones and ear pods both have mics, PC Webcam has one, tablet has one, and smartwatch has one. Like bruh.
They have been doing this with Nest for years. Lots of reports of people saying something random and suddenly getting ads. Say no secrets!

Keep shit unplugged when not in use.
If you weren’t aware, speakers can be used as microphones.
Interestingly Zuckerberg used to have a sticker over the camera on computer monitor. He was well aware a decade or so ago.
amazon did this with alexa, not surprising.
