Which , prompts the software to contact the robot vacuum cleaner , which activates as soon as you're gone , to slide over and gently tease up the bottom of that small piece of thick tape , just enough to open up some sound for the mic , but still make you think you've got it licked , security-wise .

Why does Samsung want to listen to your words? To sell your demographic interests to advertisers, not because they care anything about you personally. And how do they make money from advertisers?

“Samsung’s smart TVs have already come under fire this week for a poorly worded privacy policy that apparently let the devices listen in on owners’ conversations,” James Vincent reports for The Verge. Now, there are reports that the sets are inserting ads “every 20-30 minutes” into users’ own, locally stored content.”
“There’s been a string of complaints online by customers using third-party video apps such as Plex and Australian service Foxtel, with most referring to rogue Pepsi ads interrupting their viewing,” Vincent reports. “‘After about 15 minutes of watching live TV, the screen goes blank, and then a 16:9 sized Pepsi ad (taking up about half the screen) pops up,’ wrote a professed Samsung smart TV owner on Foxtel’s support forums.”
“Samsung explained that these sorts of ads were supposed to be opt-in only and was working with Yahoo to improve the system. ‘We are working with Yahoo to create an opt-in screen prompt specific to their service as soon as possible,’ Samsung told Business Insider, adding that to disable them users should ‘press Menu on your Samsung Remote and scroll to Smart Hub > Terms & Policy > Yahoo Privacy Policy. Scroll to ‘I disagree with the Yahoo Privacy Notice’ and you can toggle the option on to opt-out,'” ,Vincent reports. “The option itself is not only buried so deeply in the TV’s menus that most users wouldn’t find it without prompting, but the language itself seems deliberately confusing; an example of the sort of user interface ‘dark patterns’ that companies use to trick us.”"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
I think we saw this one coming, didn't we?
