Even having three security cameras around the perimeter of your house can allow quite precise location and activity detection inside the house via their audio steams.

Those mics can be quite sensitive.

I don't have security cameras in my house but that's actually interesting to see how things most people have in their house can (and does?) used to spy on them.

Phones and smart TVs, probably other appliances. My SO used to be surprised to receive ads about stuff we talked about minutes before. I finally looked at her phone, disabled a bunch of things in the stock Android settings, those timely ads went away. I didn't even have to install Blockada, uBO for FF (and uMatrix and other addons) like I do on my devices.

		Can you elaborate on what did you disable? I feel like by disabling ads in most devices, I'm also taking away the best source of information on what bad actors (here ad companies) managed to exfiltrate about me. If there only was a way to sell ad space about myself and learn from it what others know.

Yes. But depending who is doing the work they can just see what Bluetooth devices are around each hour of the day too... It sucks that everything we have seems to be usable against us

Really? They can’t seem to pick up a conversation happening directly in front of them.
