My MIL was telling me that the Prime Rib was the easier meal to prepare on Xmas. My reply to her was it didn’t sound like it from the living room, as the FIL and MIL were arguing about how to season it.

You really think flagship android phones are any better? The only difference is my phone still functions after 3 years lol.

I bet someone (company, lobbyist etc) raised the spectre of potential future lawsuits if there was an injury. There are so many downsides to such a litigious society.

Doesn't matter all that much. Future BS is still BS...

The researcher outlines that the exploit uses deauth packets to get the device to enter setup mode because the attacker expressly does not have the Wi-Fi password. But it’s a fair question to ask.
“1. The attacker wishes to spy on the victim within wireless proximity of the Google Home (but does NOT have the victim's Wi-Fi password).”

Also he implicitly accepted that Saudis behead people.
Plus in some states in the US, if I’m not mistaken, death penalty is given to people who have killed others or for some other horrific crimes. In Saudi Barbaria, if you say god has a lil dick you get beheaded.

Hey dude. I'm not the one who purchased a $1000 phone that only cost $100 to make and has ridiculously expensive proprietary Hardware that is cheaper than sand to manufacture, plus spending 30% more on everything you ever purchase on the appstore.

This is false. We import a terrific amount of oil. We also export a terrific amount. Saudi Arabia is one of our biggest suppliers. It all has to do with the type of oil.

You call Apple users stupid but you haven’t said a single intelligent thing. Pretty clear that you’re just regurgitating bs you heard from another idiot.

Pretty sure they used musk just to kill Twitter. That deal saddled them with so much debt that they'd collapse even with the best leadership. I can't see any reason for them to finance that deal besides to make sure that platform goes under

Except the US doesn’t buy any oil from Saudi anymore. We export oil.

correct me if i’m wrong but doesn’t this have more to do with the individuals wifi security rather than the device itself? or is there some kind of weakness they’re able to exploit in these?

Plus its not like they can do it secretly.
We can see what data is being sent/received per device if we want to or at least how much when its encrypted.
If google homes en-masse just opened up the floodgates and started sending data for no reason constantly someone would notice and we would know practically instantly. It would be a matter of days before security researchers were reporting the problem and virtually every major publication would be telling you to turn them off immediately.
If it were a thing that say the FBI was doing to individuals as they felt necessary for surveillance reasons well... they can do that already anyways via other devices. A google home isn't going to change things.

Seriously where the fuck are you getting the $100 figure from? You’re just pulling facts out your ass.
