Not saying it didn’t happen, and companies do ‘lie’. I also wrote that I believed it would be much more evident if that truly was the case.
Stuff like that can also be ‘random’ and a false positive. You said it happened a week later. Certainly I get ads for stuff i search for even in the business I am in and it happens within a day or so. But again, I’m not denying it did not happen just that you cannot know for sure that it was google listening to you. For the amount of stuff I say I would expect do see it daily.
Trump and his cronies say that Haiwei would spy on you if the PRC told them to.
They forgot (deliberately) to say that Google, Apple, Microsoft, Farcebook and others probably already are, or soon would unlock their “Back Door” if the US government told them to.
I watched Marvel Endgame and all of a sudden my Quora feed is suddenly full of questions/answers about Marvel. I didn’t watch it in Netflix or anything, just from bittorrent.
I’ve heard people say Apple couldn’t crack it even if they wanted to, basically the devices are well encrypted and all Apple could do is wipe the device to allow the user to at least use it.
Yes, remember seeing that some time ago. Just goes to show that while the USA and others put bans on Hauwei because they would comply if the PRC asked, and here they are, doing the same thing, though without success in this case.
I am betting that the Hauwei problem will be no more when the USA/PRC Trade War is resolved.
