  • Guys, ten or hundred of thousands security researchers have been going at this for years. Google isn’t secretly listening to you.

    These things work with 2 mics, and 2 different circuits. The recording mic is one, while the detection mic is another. The second mic is only capable of pattern matching.

    So yeah it’s on but only capable of hashing a 5 second recording and matching it to your voice (this shit works a lot like rsa keys if that’s helpful) to serve as a wake word. Maybe flag a simple response.

    All that’s happening is the device heard a loud sound and knows it wasn’t a match or what’s expected.
