       @stux And yet so many techbros insist it's not happening. They can't adequately explain why, though, I can mention a specific brand of alcoholic beverage to a guest in my home and both of us get ads for that product within minutes. Yet neither of us drink the beverage or looked it up with a search engine. *smh*

       @stux Unless I am expecting a call, my phone is offline from a shortcut setup. I also carry my phone off until needed. Everyone knows how to reach me that needs to know.  Vendors says they are not recording you, but 3rd parties they pay do.Disable TV mic. Reset TV apps you use often. The bonus is that it provides new choices. However as you search it will start displaying your previous selections due to other factors like your location, network, device and time of day.

       @stux, maybe listening, but maybe just knows statistics not only about your contextual behavior, but about all of your “neighbors in the freaking-dimensional space of a math-stat-model” kinda-similar users, as well as global and your local trends, and also knows what you’ve learned (from YouTube or a blog with GA). 🤷🏻‍♂️

       @stux you probably gave Google (or one of their apps) access to the microphone. They're always listening.
