Cox deletes ‘Active Listening’ ad pitch after boasting that it eavesdrops though our phones in c/technology@lemmy.world

My take is two fold: 1- Marketing over selling their product (common practice) 2- The "always listening" devices are mainly their Smart Remotes that have a microphone built in.

#2 Seems the most likely as is a device fully in their control and can pull as much ad marketing / information gathering details from it as they want.

Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why? in c/games@lemmy.world

Descent - really loved the immersive 3D world and gameplay.

But I must have my CH Flightstick Pro to get the most out of the manuverability of the ships.

Of course I haven't played it in 30 years so I might be a tad rusty now even if I have all the gaming upgrades. 😁
