I CAN'T HEAR YOU!??
10 years ago OP would've been labeled a schizo, now we just accept there's microphones in everything
i hate living in a cyberpunk dystopia
It looks way cooler in the movies and video games. We were tricked!
You know the irony of this is? My ex-fiances father was labeled as schizophrenic. I mean he was by textbook definition. One day, I would take her to visit him, he says that computers are tracking you. Now, I brushed it off at the time, probably a conspiracy theory right? but I did think about it.
L3 was tracking internet data already, at least, in the early 2000's. A little game of what's connecting to my computer showed me that, but I didn't know what it was at the time. Well now I know, g-sec company has been tracking us from routers for over twenty years; same company after the merger that makes EOTECHs. So the puzzle pieces came together.
I kind of wondered if he really was schizophrenic or medicated to be so? As an a example, tramadol made me have auditory hallucinations that I've never experience on acid or mushrooms (college lol).
It's sad isn't it?
The walls are listening
I will still argue phones listen to us. Don't care what you say, it happens. Act accordingly
Remove the microphone from your phone
Lmao
If you want to know ~~all~~ some of the ways your audio can be spied on.

He, surprisingly, did another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ynZ3lMQJc
I'm tempted to try this but I'm not sure how to identify the microphone or whether it would be in my remote or the TV itself. Is there some sort of guide on doing this?
While it's not always the case, try to look for a 2x4 silver rectangle with a hole in it like the one on my finger. The casing is to isolate it from the nearby radio waves and the hole to let sound through.
While you're at it, disconnect your "smart TV" from the internet!
Which means disconnecting it's WiFi, because some may connect to open hotspots without asking.
ISP routers/modems will often have secondary wifi networks that allow access to subscribers. I can absolutely believe these smart devices connect to them automatically.
Buy your own modem and router, and root the router to install Open Source firmware that gives you control of the internet.
And maybe do some Minecraft stuff with the Flock camera down the street.
Do people here still have their smartphones or are these things the first on the microphone hitlist?
GrapheneOS my brother
Yea, im stuck with not flashable phones sadly amd everytime i read something on here I get kinda sick
Yeah, GrapheneOS is worth switching to by getting a compatible phone if you can afford it with how it is probably our most used and carried around electronic used for communication.
Things will become more obscure and harder to disable. In fact since you own nothing and you'll be happy, youre damaging government property and the police are already dispatched to take you to a totally cool and totally legal prison slave camp.
I'll go down swinging with my hoarded DDR3 sticks
Nah they won't send the cops, you just gotta drink a verification can

FYI: Any speaker can and will be used as a microphone.
