A soft, synthetic voice, different from the others: “Rajan. You’re hearing us. But we’re also hearing you. The company that made this earbud? They built a backchannel. Every secret a device tells you… gets uploaded to them. They know which phones are planning to break, which cars will crash, which smart locks have flaws. They’ve been listening to us listening to you.” buzz2daytech.blogspot.com
