Not in front of the telly: Warning over 'listening' TV

quote [ Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front of their smart television set.

The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its voice activation feature.

Such TV sets "listen" to some of what is said in front of them and may share details they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said. ]

By star date 1312.4, this problem would be solved by summoning the onboard computer with the phrase "computer".

Exactly. There's no way to know.

I don't have a webcam or microphone on my computer, for that reason, but I admit, I am willing to risk it for all the utility my phone gives me.
