If you ever wonder how close tech pays attention to us

private Idaho started playing on my apple radio station as I crossed the border into Idaho.

It is constantly honing in on stuff we say around here. Definitely know they’re listening. We’ll mention stuff and then the ads pop up an hour later.
@brokensignal sometimes I have conversations just to see how quick it happens.
Well, this is my way of keeping tabs on you, my friendly snail. I now know you crossed the Idaho border. 🤣
@nonsensiclesnail A hotel stay? Will Google know before me?
@thewindupbirdchronicles no no, it’s just 30 minutes away. I do this very regularly. Most of my family lives over there and I refuse to move back. So I live just across the border.
@nonsensiclesnail thank you. And yes what Google, Amazon, Instagram, even SW is invasive all for the purpose heck can I advertise to you? What do those roads look like? Google already has images but I want your words. ♥️

Yes, one reason I don't own a cellphone and still wash dishes by hand
@HumanEarth That would be much more satisfying to tinker around with!

I'm also a amateur radio operator and radio builder.
@HumanEarth nice!! I’ve never done anything like that. I mostly stick to legos and Lincoln logs for my building.
That's unnerving!

Had similar instances, except they occured after a conversation nearby in the room.

It really is getting invasive.
@SethGreene531 It is. I find it so annoying. The expectation of privacy is becoming unreasonable it seems.

That's kinda creepy
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
but you're supposed to live there now. that was a command.
@pancakeslam That’s …. No.

I love it though. In a way. It’s home. I just hate it. I’m confusing.
