Comment on People left seriously creeped out after woman shares how to find out everything Google knows about you

Its already established that the mic always hot, and that data is always being sent to the server.

Tell me, how have you established this? What were your methods?

By calling out for the Google assist, without having pushed any button first. It’s always listening for the initiate key phrase.

That doesn't mean it's sending anything out through the network connection. The wake word is locally processed.

  This old article from Vice seems to have proven it, back in 2018.

    This entire article is full of absolutely nothing but speculation and poor experimentation without proper knowledge, software, or equipment. No technical analysis at all. This person kind of has no clue and is taking ignorant shots in the dark. The "experiment" they ran sounds like something my mother would do and then get all bent out of shape and frantically call me about it.

    I want the 5 minutes back I wasted reading that.
    
    All hyperbole aside, if you’re worried about time wasted, you really shouldn’t be on the Internet.
