Earlier this week, Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs, and independent security researchers detailed some alarming findings about how LG’s TVs are logging and uploading data on its users. Now the company is pushing back against those allegations, saying that “Some recent media coverage may have contributed to misconceptions about how LG smart TVs work.”
LG released a statement in which it claims that its “TVs do not continuously record or transmit users’ conversations,” and that wake-word detection is all processed locally. However, the word “continuously” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here as Gamers Nexus demonstrated an LG TV keeping extensive logs of ambient conversations long after one would assume its AI assistant had stopped listening.
Effect: a thing: particle effects, fireworks, special effects
Affect: something is changed: affected by politics, smoking in public affects others, affected by the amount of love from your parents
It’s literally in the comment they are responding to…
Nah, they used the wrong one. It’s not a big deal, but I like having easy ways to help remember common misspellings or weird things. Like on two axis graphs, the X and Y coordinates sometimes get confusing. So, in order to remember which coordinate is which, X and then Y, and then you have to RUN (horizontal, X) before you JUMP (vertical, Y). I heard that from some teacher when I was a kid and never forgot.
I agree that they used the wrong one, I’m just saying the comment they are responding to used the correct one :)
Ohhh, my bad. I didn’t even notice that.
Wait, I’m the guy you corrected. What’s the easy way to remember affected vs effected? You just told me which is which, but do you have a trick like you do for the X vs Y axis on a graph?
Honestly? No :( I wish I did. Maybe I could make a shitty one?
A comes before E in the alphabet, and A-number-1, the most important person is affected.
Thanks, that’s better than nothing :)
I don’t have one for you but that’s called a mnemonic
