After the recent news (again) that advertisers are actively listening to the microphone on your devices 24/7, I'm gonna hard pass on this.
Title is funny as hell though.
Got a source on that? I love that this rumor goes around every few months and nicely reminds me which communities are full of terrible media literacy.

What do you think of the discussion here? Do you still believe the sensational headline?
(Also way to prove my point)

I'll check out the link in a bit, probably haven't seen it though. Wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong. I'm not the brightest. If I was wrong, then thanks for correcting me, even if it was slightly jerkish.
I'll give an update when I can. Until later.
