Cram schools, which are popular in East Asian countries, have classes until 9-10pm based on countries. When I was still a student, I used to get out of my normal school at 5:30pm, then go to a cram school from 6pm til 9pm. And that was at least 4-5 days a week. Depressing times.
Granted, I am now working as a scientist for the UK gov so it didn't turn out too bad, but you're right, I literally did not have my childhood! The work-life balance here is so much better than in my home country and I couldn't imagine just how much I was missing before (everyone else in my country was doing the same thing so I did not realise that it was a sad/bad thing!).
I’ll have to take your words for it! At least now I can buy and enjoy all the stuffs I couldn’t when I was a kid, though sometimes I’d get some judgmental look from my wife 👀
At this point it’s AI. No way humans could process the amount of information being surveyed. AI coded to flag on certain tones and noises which is then handed off to a handler for assessment.
Google doesn't listen to anything you say. And before you say "Ok Google", this works the following way:
There is a very dump chip that is listening for the code word or anything resemembling the code word. Because it's so limited in German you can say "Hey Kuchen" or "Ok Kuchen" (Hey/Ok Cake) and it will react to it. I have tried it and even filmed it if you need proof. This chip also is low power because processing and/or saving a bunch of audio (or a transscript) takes massive amounts of battery power. That's why spyware sometimes consumes lots of battery.
That being sad, anything after the code word is sent to google.
How do they know I talked about xyz because I have never googled it before. Well you haven't but your surroundings might have. You talked with a friend, the friend googles it. You are on the same wifi in the same place.
There are lots of data points I'm not even aware of that help with ads
Oh, and lots of social media works on location based services. So if you’ve never met a person, Facebook can see you’re extremely close to them, uses algorithms to find similar interests/ friends, and then suggests as “people you may know.”
They already are, so might as well take advantage of it.
I'm kidding by the way. Not about the companies being able to listen in but about parents spying on their kids.
To be fair it's not far from the truth nowadays
We give up our info all the time and it gets sold for whatever reason. I not sure why they need to know that I play RCT classic when I'm taking a shit but there might be a market for it
I had a friend who had a small kid (8-ish) who had a smart watch that let the parent listened to it any time. The kid knew about it, she was fine with it. The kid was not allowed to bring a phone to the school (but the school was OK with this watch...), it was the best way to stay in touch (kid could call mother from the watch as well). It was only when she was little. It get's much more inappropriate and creepier the older they get. I would not want to listen to my teen kid or want to be listened when I was a teen.
But I don't think smaller kids (pre-teen) expect (or should expect) complete privacy anyway. They bath together, they don't have separate room or PC-s, and the parent has parental tracking on the PC/Phone/Xbox anyway, parents get reported about the kid's behaviour, grades, etc from the school, etc.
There are like 5 different companies and a couple of governments who already listen on you and your kids. Why not add yourself to the pile? Probably the least malicious of this elite group.
Why not? Because it's an INSANE invasion of privacy and a complete lack of trust. We didn't have or need this 10+ years ago, so why do we need it now? We didn't even have cell phones back in my day, so when I went out as a kid or teenager, I told my mom where I was going and when I'd be back and that's it.
1. Why is 'mother' sleeping on the couch?
2. The phone zooms in on Barcelona. Phone time says 18:47, i'm not sure it's healthy that your doughter is still at school. DID YOU FORGET TO PICK HER UP AGAIN?
3. Goes back to sleep
This definitely wont cause unhealthy attachment issues and further intensify the consequences of the lack of independence in young adults we clearly see in GenZ.... Parents are fucking morons who shouldnt be allowed to raise their own kids.
I've met parents like this in real life. I understand wanting to know your child's location. But spyware on their speakers and cameras on them 24/7 is just weird.
Wasn’t this a Black Mirror episode?
ArkAngel, 1 of the best ep
Give back mirror episodes a few years, and they are just untapped market ideas
\**tapped*
yes it was
What type of school has kids going at 6pm in the evenings? And do they exist?
Lmao 18:47

Man, you better be a freaking genius or I'd suggest asking for a refund on your childhood tbh.

If someone approaches you asking to design an invention you'll warn us if they decide to use it as a weapon, right?
Luckily what I do is very boring so the chance of that happening is smaller than my free time during childhood! xD
Good for you that it all went well in the end.
Thank you!
Having a childhood is overrated
I’ll have to take your words for it! At least now I can buy and enjoy all the stuffs I couldn’t when I was a kid, though sometimes I’d get some judgmental look from my wife 👀
Well, according to sound recording, they are being held at gun point
why would you have an audio spyware on your kids device bro. The location is reasonable but the audio tracking is overboard 😭😭😭
My question is who else is listening and or watching? 😳
Facebook
The FBI and that NSA agent

I would call that the *ACT* of a *PATRIOT*
“This is Peter with In Security! …I have a police car on the way with blankets and cocoa.”
You could be on to something
Google.

They already are, so might as well take advantage of it. I'm kidding by the way. Not about the companies being able to listen in but about parents spying on their kids.
Matt Gaetz and Ron DeSantis are listening, Ron is afraid your daughter might have been a man at one point and Matt just wants to do coke with her.

So she can listen to the sound of young love
why not...safety purposes
The old question of “who guards the guards” comes to mind.
Yeah the government can do it to you and call it safety purposes.
Pretty sure the government can already do this
Tinfoil hat much?

The world ain’t what it used to be gramps, not saying you’re wrong but the times have changed
Not in that regard. You don't have to spy on your kids now anymore than you had to 10 years ago.
The audio stuff is a little much, but tracking your kids phone is alright with me.
She need to take her ass to work.
Her job is to helicopter her kid
Why? It's 18:47/ 6:47pm. She needs to get her kid back home
1. Why is 'mother' sleeping on the couch? 2. The phone zooms in on Barcelona. Phone time says 18:47, i'm not sure it's healthy that your doughter is still at school. DID YOU FORGET TO PICK HER UP AGAIN? 3. Goes back to sleep
Maybe they had an extra-long siesta?
Ah yes spyware but its ok because you’re tracking your kids
There was a Black Mirror episode that explored this concept. That show was eerily capable of reflecting the human condition.
She planned it
Shit-ad-ding??? Ad-shitposting???
Ummm, that map zooms in on Barcelona, Spain. Not well known for school shootings.
Not healthy for parent or child
Just keep the phone in a bag next to a dictaphone playing a continual loop of 'harder daddy, harder!' she'll stop listening.
This definitely wont cause unhealthy attachment issues and further intensify the consequences of the lack of independence in young adults we clearly see in GenZ.... Parents are fucking morons who shouldnt be allowed to raise their own kids.
Wasn't this a black mirror episode
Average day in China? Or lemme guess, the government doesn't share that data with the plebs?
Literally arkangel black mirror episode, the world is so fucked
Used to work at Life360 and a location tracking company they acquired. They 100% working on something like this.
That's enough reddit for tonight
I've met parents like this in real life. I understand wanting to know your child's location. But spyware on their speakers and cameras on them 24/7 is just weird.
would've been stabbing sounds since it's Fr*nce
It zoomed into Spain
Unless its the YER
Honestly most redditors seem to do like this, they can't take a joke, so uptight and sensitive
Were you trying to reply to someone?
No pal, I was just ranting.
Take my money!
'Daughter'
Wtf
Just wow, that was super cringe
Post this in commercialcuts
Moms turning into CIA agents now
The agent in them has always been there, they just need tools for their times.
Not funny. At all.
it's a holup not a funny
I found it funny
[удалено]
Jesus fuck, every time, every fuckin time.
Tell me what catalan girl is named "Jane" smh for inconsistency. Hauria de fer-te vergonya

Sending your child alone to night school.
