Also left some dirty cups around. Fucking raging at that TBQHWY. Jokingly said (not to them) I'd break their guitar on Saturday if our cats were a state when we got back. Wish I had snapped a string now, stupid c**t can't even play it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood that especially at sporting events where I'd actually be more surprised if you DIDN'T hear the odd sweary word. "I'd like to apologise if the cameras picked up any bad language there....it wasn't me...it was that c**t in the red that said it..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I’m pretty sure there are regulations about bad language pre 9pm on unlocked TV channels. If presenters don’t apologise the broadcaster can face sanction from Ofcom. I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If I'm asking the echo to play a song that it won't recognise the name of repeatedly, but I know it has in its library, then I'll do a stereotypical English accent and it recognises it every single time. FEWMING. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEWMING. Tin foil hat on, but I don't trust these voice activated devices in the home, like Alexa, Siri or Ok Google. I just don't believe that they are not listening all the time, whether it be for something innocent like Ad preferences or something darker like the Government. Probably makes me sound insane but it's a 'no' from me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't believe the govt. are spying on us as it would have gotten out long since if they were. For advertising, well we know how that works on PCs / phones etc so I'm pretty sure they use it for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's coincidence but sometimes when you talk about something specific, out the blue, not long after an Ad for it can pop up. But the way the world is, I need my modern mobile phone. How else would I regularly access the marvellous P&B content? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone already listens to you, so avoiding Alexa or any other "in the home" unit isn't really shielding yourself from it. Anyone who wants to listen to you already is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind the papers had a phone tapping scandal and we already know the Government tap into calls listening for words relating to terrorism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Xbox Kinect not look for product trademarks in the home and send Ads on recognising them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
