- crowbahr 8y agoCome now, on a tech and hacking website of all places we should all be better informed than this. There is a voice activation only chip tied directly into the lights that only listens for commands. Once the activation is heard it sends it off to the servers to get processed etc. With everyone scrutinizing the web traffic around them trying to prove NSA/Google spying with them we'd definitely have found something by now.
