It most likely is

Instead of guessing, you people need to learn to use Wireshark and find out for yourself.

No, they don't just listen all the time with an open mic and just send all audio to the cloud. Anyone in cybersecurity would definitely notice that and sound the alarm. There's probably tens of thousands of people watching what these companies and their tech do all day long.

They can get all the data they need through other means, like trackers. Most of us aren't consciously aware of the metric shitton of bread crumbs we all leave behind on the net.

Yeah to this day I don't understand this "genius" business move. My redneck conservative dad sure as hell isn't buying an electric vehicle anytime soon, even if you put a giant MAGA hat on it.

accurately emulate the functionality in some other freely available silicon

Get a cheap PIC or AVR microcontroller, put it on a DIP-sized carrier board, and write a program to simulate everything you'd see on the data/address and any other IO pins of the Z80 when they are manipulated.

It is. There are two. Raspberry Pi Os, and Raspbian. The former used to be Raspbian. I still get them confused.

If shit like this keeps going, soon my car is going to be homemade out of 2x4s and a backyard-forged 2 stroke engine, while I try to turn sand into chips so I can stay connected to the Internet...
