Is your air fryer spying on you?

Forgot about my phone's nanny mode that's spying on me.

I get a weekly report on how long I've been on my phone and whether I used it while driving.

You only drove for 35m in a week? I'm jealous, hate driving!

Does it scold you if it catches you using while driving?

I'm retired and live in an area where I can walk to most anywhere I need to go.

Maybe. I've never used a phone while driving. I use hands-free calling and Google Maps for navigation but they're Bluetoothed to my car screen so don't count.

I can confirm that smart phones listen to everything you say. I tend to bring up a bunch of random conversation topics with my wife, as I am as full of useless trivia, among other things. Sometimes I'll see an ad and be like, "WTF?" Then I'll remember the conversation from the day before. That's creepy.

The other side of it, though, is that I carry a device the size of my high school calculator in my pocket which can instantly access most of existing human knowledge, sort of like a modern Library of Alexandria. It can also get me around traffic jams before I get into them and prevent me from getting lost. Fair trade, IMO. The ex-libertarian in me doesn't like the spying, but whatever. I don't have much of a choice anyway, because I have to use a smartphone for multi-factor authentication to do a number of things, including work. I'm a little annoyed by that, but I have zero leverage to push back. I'll just rate having the phone as a net win with some downsides.

Lol. Google News just suggested a "For You" article about air fryers.
