*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

The lawsuit is, apparently, entirely about the little snippets of data they keep when Google Assistant accidentally activates in response to a voice command.

Everyone at the grocery store wanted to know how I do it. What’s the secret to being the King of Executive function? Well, there’s a lot to it, but one thing I do is save time by shopping while ravenous. I save myself a trip by imagining how good it would be to eat something, then grabbing it.

I have long enjoyed writing to my literary heroes. No more so than as a romantic book-mad 20year-old, pre library employment. Muriel Spark was quick to recommend the library as a source for her further reading faves to save me 'dipping into my dole'. How I treasure this letter #libraries

There’s a deep intellectual honesty that I respect in naming it the “fast forward” button. Take the extra word to acknowledge that it’s already moving forward, and the button just speeds things up a bit. A graceful treatment of predecessors.

Likewise “rewind”: it was first wound well before us.

I will add, if anyone wants to pay Money Dollars for me to simply continue making it, there is a Support This Puzzle button on the itch page.

I take tips as a signal that people care about it enough that I should keep going. Sharing it also does that, so thank you!

for puzzle-likers following me (there’s got to be a bunch of you), I’ve really been enjoying The Daily Spell. little word jumbles with fun worldbuilding behind it (which recalling can help you out). there’s an archive; I would pay Money Dollars for more of these now that I’ve burned through most
