@VoidJuiceConcentrate@midwest.social @BrikoX@lemmy.zip listening, sure... just like all our phones and smart home speakers and watches tend to be these days... but what's your evidence it is always looking? I don't think that is currently the case but I certainly wouldn't rule out them doing it in the future once it becomes less of an issue for the battery life of these.
