He does get confused and spews nonsense a lot, but I don’t think this is an instance of that. When you’re campaigning nationally and quickly hop between states (sometimes visiting two on the sane day), you might mix two places up. Trump is not the first politician this happened to.

Who was confident about Hillary? She was a mediocre candidate with a ton of baggage. Kamala is a much better candidate (who still might lose).

Stop spreading this bullshit. He’s tangentially associated with Thiel, he’s not his puppet or something. Posting this as someone who soured on Nate Silver in the last few years.

That’s not Google, these are the APIs that power the whole OS. Most of the apps on your phone use them.

Honestly, Pixels are probably the best bet for a long living phone. They’re popular enough to have parts available for years to come, and seven years of software updates is pretty much unmatched by anyone but Apple.

Even if they have that permission, they can’t just turn on the microphone when you’re not in the app. Also the battery drain and data usage will be impossible to miss.

I think they’re lying. Apps can’t access the microphone, on an OS level, without explicit permission from the user. Unpess Facebook found and used insane exploits in both Android and iOS, I’m calling bullshit. They’re just bragging about something they can’t possibly do.
