Google's Always Listening - To Your Nest

Recommended Posts

This post is for those of you who use Nest products. I was only aware of their thermostats, but they have a lot more connected products for your Nest.

It turns out one of the products has an embedded microphone, which Google 'forgot' to mention in the tech specs.

But don't worry, you have Google's strict assurance the microphone hasn't been turned on.

Yet.

It's because i am so familiar with the technology and how it's being used by these creeps, I don't have any of that in my house.  No Amazon Echo, Google Home Nest, any of that.  No IOT refrig, or anything.  I actually dread having to purchase my next TV because I'm sure it will be Internet based. I guess as long as it doesn't have a Mic or a Tv camera embedded in it....Heck I don't even have Wifi. I have a completely "wired" network. I do have a FiOS router but I've disabled the Wifi part.  I have to have that to have FiOS TV.  Ah well.
