Invasion of privacy recoding everything said or sounds in the room. It's a
marketing tatic to hit the owner with ads when they log into Amazon.

Bought a new Google Pixel 3 smartphone. I noticed the battery was going dead
lightning fast. Seems it was listening to the music in the room coming from my
pc and accuradio.com. Heard a beep notification come from the pixel, it wanted
to tell me the names of the songs i was listening to. Disabled it's microphone
for everything except the phone.
