    Its already established that the mic always hot, and that data is always being sent to the server.

    Tell me, how have you established this? What were your methods?

    By calling out for the Google assist, without having pushed any button first. It’s always listening for the activate/initiate key phrase.

      That doesn’t mean it’s sending anything out through the network connection. The wake word is locally processed.

          This entire article is full of absolutely nothing but speculation with no sources and poor experimentation without proper knowledge in the field, software, or equipment. No technical analysis at all. This person kind of has no clue and is taking ignorant shots in the dark to try to confirm preexisting notions. The “experiment” they ran sounds like something my mother would do and then get all bent out of shape and frantically call me about it.

          I want the 5 minutes back I wasted reading that.
