If you are really worry about pricy just don’t buy it
Why do you care ? What’s the worst that can happen ? If you have to care about something so much maybe you shouldn’t say it out loud at all. Also google doesn’t even care about that it’s not like they will report you after you said that you never pay your taxes. Why would they care. ?
So very nice
The Mic is running all the time, turning off “continued conversation” change nothing!
“Lmao” the FBI watching through your phone, laptop and smart fridge.
Dislike on this video by sundar pichai and his google paid agents
This video is only partially correct if that… Take it from someone who work on voice technology on a daily basis. Vast majority of the “convenience” aspects of smart speakers comes at you give the Google platform access to your data, which in many ways it already has. The more restricted the privacy setting is, the the less useful the assistant is. It is a very hard balance to hit. When I tweaked my settings to a more restricted manner, the thing becomes hardly useful… Disabling storing of voice activities seem like it helps with privacy but Google need it for the system to improve recognition of your voice. Disable it means you get more misunderstandings from poorer recognitions, especially when the background is noisier. Turning down wake word sensitivity makes it harder to command your smart speaker from a farther distance. If you want insider recommendations:
1) actually allow Google to remember/store activities BUT set them to auto delete on 3‑month setting. This seems to be the most optimal at the moment, but i wish they allow a 30-day option.
2) personalize the wake word training. yes, you give it your voice samples but it will become more accurate, so there is a lesser chance of false wake and capture unintended conversations.
3) if you are about to have a sensitive conversation, mute the mic and disable the camera.
4) if you are very sensitive to privacy, then don’t use voice assistants — because they need your information to make the experience useful. Just remember that something as simple as asking for weather or time requires it to know your location (at least very coarsely).
5) if you are truly truly worried about privacy, then unplug the smart speakers or similar devices. Most don’t know that a mute switch/button or camera switch doesn’t mean much. These switches and buttons are what we call “soft switch” in the industry. In most designs, it’s merely send a signal to the software, so you have to rely on the believing the software will stop recording or turn off the mic. Try mute mic and check back hours later and your smart speaker still feel warm — why? Just think about it…
It really doesn’t matter for any of us not wearing tin foil hats.
Nice
I wonder where Apple is!?
There is nothing useful about the Google’s speakers, everything it can do my phone can do. And it can’t even listen to background music and tell me what is playing.
you are not free.….
If youre worried about your own privacy, then dont own a device whose reason to exist is to listen constantly so it can answer a question you shouted into the air…
Continued conversation keeps the mic live for 8 seconds after a command. Then goes off.
It’s all very well doing these things but for the best experience, I would say keep them on. If I’m going to see ads in news feeds or on random sites, if rent them to be relevant.
I never use google assistant. I don’t trust it, don’t need it, don’t want it.
Also I’m kinda pissed LG is putting dedicated GA buttons on their phones now. Always loved LG, didn’t think they would do something like that.
Luckily I’ve already informed myself on how to change the functionality of these buttons so when I eventually buy a new phone it won’t bother me.
Is my great pleasure giving my testimony today. I never thought I could ever give a testimony about this Forex/binary options I never believed it was actually real because of my several encounters with a lot of scammers I have been in trading with different trade investors without any opposite returns. Not until I came across a man at my Instagram page which tells me how real investors works, I decided to give a try with just the last money on me which is $5000, and I invested $3000 with him, to be greatest surprise I got $22,650. As my trading profit in just 7 days, him might not know how much help he has been to me. I want you to learn from this man and become a good earner .contact Mr Nicholas Jeffrey through insta:@nicholasjmyronfx or whats app::+1(518) 633‑5966
