Oh, absolutely. Google/apple/MS definitely could do this. But some no-name company? Not really.

Yup, for sure, but while a nation state can risk exploitting a zero day to turn on your microphone, an ad tech company certainly can't. As soon as it get patched they'd be ruined.

Almost every OS nowadays has some form of microphone detection right? So if this was on, you would be aware of it? And to jump ahead, even google is incentivised to prevent this company listening in, as they are direct competitor.

I wonder if this company is just trying to fleece advertisers with a made up tech? The "Claim your exclusive territory before your competitor" feels like the high pressure tactics that other scams use?

I might go disable the microphone in my TV remote anyway :/

Useful unless you just want to look at the item more closely (read the back of the box or whatever before you purchase.

Use a second domain for your less professional stuff?

It is a bit of gimic though, and I suspect rather than coming across as professional on your resume, it will probably be more of a "huh, cool" kinda thing?

This is a bizarre scheme, i would not want to receive 1296 books, let alone however many the top gets.

Should be fine, but its definitely on the low end in terms of ram.

Nextcloud requires 128mb minimum, but ideally 512mb minimum.

Wordpress should fit in the left over space.

If your traffic/usage is not excessive, you should be fine.

Wow, that is insane. Even more so when you take the currency differences into account. I get why your raging inside.

I could have sworn he has used this joke before? Like in the past year?

I think its better to think of it like a president or prime minister. He might set the plan and direction and making the big decisions, but there are thousands of others supporting and making the plan actually happen.

In the past he has delegated the release to others as well.

So if the worst would happen, the linux project would continue operating fairly seamlessly.
