Unexpected freebie from Google that you might NOT like - A secret (hidden) microphone in home alarm product. Google says it goofed by keeping the microphone secret




    “The on-device microphone was never intended to be a secret and should have been listed in the tech specs. That was an error on our part.”

It went on to explain to Business Insider that it’s not unusual for security systems to have built-in microphones:

    “The microphone has never been on and is only activated when users specifically enable the option.”
