Thanks for pointing this out. Like you, I don't have mics or cameras |
13 |
connected to my desktops, but I do have a google tablet and I've used |
14 |
the "Okay Google" feature before, so I knew about it. |

But, I never thought about what I say when I have the tablet stuck in my |
17 |
pocket, supposedly in "power-saving sleep mode". No doubt in my mind |
18 |
that the mic could still be listening if google wants it to be. |
