    The interesting fact that does our day to day technology listen to any audio recordings of Xbox users speaking in their homes, from many reports that users have had revealed audio from Xbox One users was sometimes triggered and recorded by mistake when contractors were working to improve the console's voice command functions.

    The practise began at the beginning of the Xbox One's life cycle but was only meant to capture audio following voice commands like "Xbox" or "Hey Cortana." It's the latest example of contractors working on behalf of Microsoft to listen to audio captured by several of the company's products. An earlier Motherboard report revealed that human contractors were listening to some Skype calls and audio recorded by Microsoft's virtual assistant, Cortana.

     

    "Xbox commands came up first as a bit of an outlier and then became about half of what we did before becoming most of what we did," one former contractor told Motherboard. "Most of the Xbox related stuff I can recall doing was obviously unintentional activations with people telling Cortana 'No' as they were obviously in the middle of a game and doing normal game chat," a current contractor said. Each contractor signed an NDA so Motherboard has kept them anonymous to protect their identities.

     

    I l always thought at times that our privacy is very important and we have the right away to keep our life story to ourselves. But we're aren't alone.

    It's great to see technology advance so much over the years. I've grown up in a time where tech was rare but is now common in our everyday lives. Great article.

    • Does anyone here still have an original Xbox? I got one for free a few years ago from one of my coworkers. She thought the console wasn't working, but it turns out the av cables were faulty. Best of all, it was already modded and had a few emulators on it! Though the mod itself is pretty old. It's also one of the later models that doesn't have the issue with the clock capacitor leaking so I'm luck in that regard too! I think it's worth getting an original Xbox since not every original Xbox game runs on the 360 let alone not everyone even has a 360.

    • I recently upgraded to using Xbox Elite 2 Controller and it feels so good using it. It's high time they get rid of the AAA batteries used in my former controller. Also, I like the textured grip this controller is designed. 
       
      What do you think about Elite Controller 2?

    • What are your favorite N64 games? For me you have some of the hunch as Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Super Mario 64. I also really liked Pilot Wings and Destruction Derby 64 which were a bit lesser known

    • With games releasing all the time, depending on the games you enjoy you could be picking up your next game very soon or it could be a while before you pick up another game yet.
       
      As much as I will not be picking this game up but instead, waiting for it to release on Game Pass this week, I am waiting on Starfield so I guess that will be the next game I jump on at least for now. 
       
      What game are you planning on picking up next?
