WHY DID YOUR ELECTRONICS CHANGE THEIR POWER BUTTON TO THIS SYMBOL? IS THIS CONCERNING?

That's why you need too physically unplug your devices when you leave the house.

Sounds similar to why they stopped letting u remove ur battery in ur cell phone.

When I tell people everything in their home is still on, listening to them, like their TV, they tell me they don't care because don't do anything wrong 🙄 so frustrating

And now we see how LG has quantified their decision to leave all verbal recording features ON, full time, in your home, even when it's in "standby"... Come quickly Lord Jesus...

Omg .. that's why my grandma always unplugs it

I'm glad you didn't quit. I love your feed output. 🫡

Thank you my friend!

My TV is off and I have a dim red light on the bottom that never goes dark. This reminds me of what Snowden put out about 12-15y ago. He blew the whistle on smart TVs and other devices that constantly spy on you. I won't buy a brand new vehicle for this reason. My 2017 diesel pickup is still in very good condition and I'm going to drive that thing until the wheels fall off. The new cars are way too invasive and confess passed the law mandating remote kill switches in all new vehicles..my conspiracy theory is that they need all these data centers, not for AI cat videos, but for mass surveillance. Flock camera data has to go somewhere. We have more data centers in the US than China does. So, their bs lie of we can't let China beat us is for the gullible rubes. I'm not a paranoid person and it's really concerning the amount of control people will accept in the name of "safety" and the govt knows the us has become a nanny state who wants "safety" at any price..for the greater good of course.

Not a fan.

So simple this is why I physically unplugged my PS5 and TV when im done using it

symbolism is ancient...

even if you turn off camera and mic via system settings?

Is this what “standing charges” really means on our utility bills?

Yeah you gotta plug your computers/tvs all into a surge protector and just flip it off when you’re finished, you can’t operate things remotely or get updates or anything but it’s also not running 24/7

It's a 1 and a 0 btw

YES ! Your phone is NEVER truly off ! Also, notice how Apple phones don't allow you to remove the battery !

The 1 stands for male, the 0 for female, symbolism is used everywhere.

@GrimmyEllie Interesting

Probably why electric bills are higher since they never completely turn off.

So the screens can listen and record what’s happening

Just like any virtual assistant has to keep an ear out to catch its activation word. This reminds me of how, in "1984", Winston would creep into a corner of his own living quarters, so the Party's mandatory communication/spying devices couldn't catch him writing down thoughts.

Not concerning but super interesting history. Thanks bro💪😎👌

It does when you unplug them!

@Bdaddyvader I knew that. Lol.

Always unplug your devices. Get a UP phone with a battery disconnect switch and removable memory.

They could've kept the old symbol if they opted to have remotes shoot nerf darts instead of infrared signals. Then have the user shoot at a power button that disconnects the circuit. Problem solved. 😀

I, Ignition. O, Off

Always being monitored by your electronics. Just sitting there listening.

The second one is on my phone case right now

@yahweh83enigma We dont even turn ower electronics off we unplug them ill pay for new replacement receptacles every 10 years opposed to that sound in my house all the time router gets unplugged at night as well

Today I learned 🤙

That’s why I unplug everything if I’m not using it ! That’s a fuckin fact !!!!!!

unplug it

They’re always watching you bc they have nothing better to do

I've seen that power symbol on things before just never knew that was stand by

I'm from the UK so I can turn off appliances at the socket
