Brother Fubar;
Good evening and almost Thanksgiving to you and yours, I hope the day treated you all well.
In the "for what it's worth" file, my good wife's phone usually is connected to the house wifi system and it's happened multiple times that we've been chatting about something and it'll appear on her FaceBook feed for sure. Possibly other places too, but in that forum it has happened.
Since I don't use my phone for much other than taking pictures or finding the pickup with a hunting GPS app, that's not happened to me, but i do get a monthly report telling me where I've been from some other app that I want to say came with the phone.
I believe that anytime I use that hunting app, they - whomever they might be - are able to track my movements or so I've been given to understand.
As a last bit of tid on the subject, a few of my more tech savvy friends always have any built in computer cameras covered unless they're using them. When I asked them about it, they were of the belief the cameras could be activated remotely in some instances.
On that one I'm not sure and am only repeating what I've been told.
This morning on our way up hunting, my friend, next door neighbor and hunting partner reported seeing an add while watching hockey that the new Hyundai will be able to be started with a phone app of some sort.
Neither one of us is tech savvy to be sure, but both of us saw a multitude of problems with that.
Anyways Brother Fubar, regardless of the technological advances which seem to surround us both for good and at times seemingly evil, I do hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving down there.

Extensive monitoring of cell choices for one thing. And extensive uses of abilities I am not aware of. I began paying attention when a conversation with my wife about some product or service while driving resulted in an immediate spam on my cell phone. Preference detection is literally the tip of this iceberg.

I've literally never experienced that, so can't hep ya. I have. I typed in "twic" and "twice baked potatoes" popped up first. Search engine algorithms also use what's trending and most popular searches to fill in the blanks. I'd guess this time of year lots of people are searching up potato recipes Having said that, I've had experiences where we were discussing something, typed in a few letters, and what we were discussing popped up. And there's no way it was a frequently used search.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

Take a look at the Audible app user agreement permissions. It's not mysterious. They're listening.

Night before Thanksgiving, probably half a million people googled the same thing as you. Google just playing the odds.

My wife and I mess with the snoopers all the time. We get ads to improve our love life(its great), repair our relationship( nothing to fix), and more. Put some noise in our files at the data center…
