Voice conversations?

yeah. had a conversation about nest thermostats randomly with a friend in person. Then saw an ad the next day.

I have a friend who was complaining about this exact thing the other day.

I saw a Nest ad the other day, but I hadn't been talking about it near my phone or searching for thermostats online. However, I had just adjusted my thermostat the previous day, and my phone was positioned in such a way that you could probably infer that I was standing near the thermostat if you could see the feed from the front-facing camera. Is Google able to identify frustrated body language? Man, what a world we live in.

OT, but we had some pretty crazy flooding here on Memorial Day. We've been in a drought for a few years, so the rain was desperately needed. The big takeaway from discussions with my church friends is that we need to qualify our prayers with "...but, like, within reason..."

It's happened about 3 times to me in the last several months. Nest was a bad example i suppose.

Did you know that you cannot watch Amazon Prime while in Chrome Incognito mode? Is that Amazon or Chrome's fault?

Chrome Incognito is great for reading the home town news that they want to charge you for.

I've also heard that using Incognito can eliminate blackout restrictions. Next time Royals have a home day game and it is the "Game of the Day" on MLB network, I'm going to try it.

The Google app on my phone has been telling me each morning the ETA to work and each evening the ETA to home.......but I never told it where I work or live.

Also, the other day it started telling me where I parked, but I didn't tell it to keep track of that.

Very convenient but also very creepy.
Also, it started telling my Royals scores when games are in progress and giving me recap videos after the game is over.
Also, it keeps reminding me how many Spanish words I have learned and telling me to keep learning more.
Also, giving me stories to read about GoT.

To me the most creepy is LinkedIn contact recommendations. It recommended a person that I never met but one time about 6 years I received an email originally written by them forwarded to me by someone else.

Yeah, it suggested Trim to me even though I don't think we have ever communicated with each other electronically outside of gE.

Yes, this. If Google could cook me something.............hmmm maybe they have an app that would automatically know when I am hungry and what I want to eat and then order it for delivery......................
