Why You Get The Same Ads As Your Friends - Cheddar Explains 

Yeah I was going to say if satellites can somehow hover in the atmosphere only 12 km up then why don't we have more effective orbital weapon platforms?

It's a play on words. Nobody *_listens_* to anything. Their software translates audio into text, then counts words used, detects contexts and meanings and derives marketable data from those words.

Of course it listens. Otherwise commands like "hey google" and "hey Siri" wouldn't work.

@@PhilLesh69 By that logic there’s no way to listen digitally because the audio information is ciphered in electromagnetic waves.

@@agentriodex5145 whah? I don't think you understood any of what I said. Nobody is listening to the audio on a smartphone because it is software, and not listening but comparing text words. What's that got to do with ciphered electromagnetic what now?

@@TexasTimelapse I've had the Google speaker chime in when I was having a conversation. I don't want any of those things near my house.

12.5 miles? So THAT'S why the SR71 was retired---the pilots were worried about hitting GPS satellites! Anyway, they also got the term "trilateration" right, but they still got the minimum required number of satellites wrong. GPS receivers need at least four satellites because they must compute a fix in four-dimensional spacetime due to the high speed of light; a mere one microsecond time error translates to a position error of nearly 1000 feet (300 meters). GPS receivers measure the distance to each satellite with an accuracy of one part in a million, making them the most accurate scientific instrument most people will ever own.

Everyone else said that

For me it’s better that way. It’s less personal

Cool. On principle, I don't buy anything from ads anyway. Better that they be weird. Consider: The absolutely BONKERS irrelevant ads that users get on tumblr? "bite your soap"? "here's a scary demon nun"? Now THAT'S entertaining.

I used to look at weird stuff on Amazon at work and then within a week I would see those products in ads on co-workers screens, and sometimes I'd see a co-worker had bought one. I looked at a gold pour-over coffee filter and a week later I saw one sitting in the sink in the office kitchen. Another time I looked at one liter water bottles with stainless steel screw on caps. Three coworkers had one about two weeks later. I stayed at a hotel last summer and started getting Spanish language ads, too. That was weird. The spookiest was when a former co-worker met us for lunch and told someone at the table that he was going to spend six months in london. When I got home I started seeing videos about expats in London in my suggested videos on youtube. My smartphone heard him talking about travelling to work in london and thought I was interested in that now.

no way to escape the echo chambers.

That's Metric Space. American Space is only 50 miles away.

@@uncletrick1 oof.

Explaining how exactly GPS works is totally unneccesary in the context of this video. All you really need to know is that GPS can locate your exact location on Earth.

This video is loaded with incorrect info. IE, phones don't listen... lol Snowden leaked this yeaaars ago, and it's been confirmed by multiple independent sources since yet this video wants to claim it's all localized ads. lmao

Thought that seemed a tad low... LOL

It's as if the bullshit of marketing even pervades the marketing of advertising to advertisers lol

The only people I know who actually click on ads, and buy their stuff, are the same Boomers and Gen Xers that told Millenials to NEVER click on ads. I know that I sure don't buy stuff from ads.

The study was done poorly and is full of opinion, not fact. The app needs a starting location, then uses the movement sensors to guess what roads you walk or drive on during your movement. For iPhones you would need to allow this app to access location at least once, then allow it to access to movement sensors. So if you arrant walking or driving on a road after allowing the app to know where you are, it has no idea where you really are. From the paper: Req. 1: The attacker must either know the user’s initial location (the exact GPS coordinates) or has substantial prior knowledge of the area through which the victim is traveling, e.g., the attacker assumes that the victim is traveling through a small set of known routes. Req. 2: The attacker must measure a set of features, e.g., power consumption [18], for different potential routes in advance and construct an attack-specific training dataset. Req. 3: The sensory data must be continuously col- lected at a high sampling rate, e.g., 30 Hz [20], [21], which is significantly higher than the sampling rate needed for a majority of benign applications.

Hey thanks!

You must've really needed some new sheets

Happened to me too. A few times already.

@@cheddar bad attempt at humour..

Geez, you really should get insurance

Right? Only need a pea size!

@@cheddar Probably was taken from toothpaste commercial, such use would eventually make you buy much more tubes than you need... Have you done a vid about commercial mind tricks/games already? 🤔

Same here - happened to me in vaughan mills and other malls too.

Bluetooth beacons

The problem I found is that I look for "XX", buy "XX", then get ads for "XX" for the foreseeable future. I'd rather have the random ads - at least I might see something I didn't know was a thing.

Yeah, at least on Facebook, you can say "hide this ad - I already bought it"

Well if you start getting ads for explosives I assume you'd just ignore it.

@@jamaicangurl4u I wasn't on about the adds. I was leaning towards the, if someone who is in a watch list has a regular 9-5 job shares a WiFi network with someone else on a regular basis. Would the second person now also become a watched person as a result of sharing common WiFi.

@@_Ali. I think that the properly trained person would either just check you out for 30 minutes or something or just ignore you. It is still humans who do most of the inteligence stuff because we are smarter than computers. They know that those guys tend to try to hide it from everyone, even their own families.

Like China

I'm sure corporate lawyers are busy working everyday on finding legal ways to get around the EU privacy laws. Let's not forget in those app permission agreement we Accept it literally says if we messed up anywhere in these legal terms we have the right to change them whenever we need to... LOL

You have a lawyer?

You use Bell Mobility?

The only Time I get Ads is when I turn my VPN off.

Did anyone with whom you were discussing him, look him up online? If so, there's your link.

@@g00rb4u no. We were just talking

I am certain that they are more active in it than we give them credit for. I would not be suprised that China knows more about my interests than some of my friends and I am not even chinese.

Agreed! Whenever I see such blatant errors in articles/videos none of what they’re saying afterwards holds any water.

They all listen. Voice commands wouldn't work if they weren't constantly listening for those "specific keywords" Hey Google!

That is the the punishment for using the full stop as a decimal point, while the real world uses it for the thousand separator.

the common knowledge should catch this error of 24km satellites and y dont think it is intentional

@@gruxalfa true

@@Sinaeb yeah, put it up my rear white boy.

They can track your IP address no matter what Sim card you're using and you can't ever truly turn off GPS unless you take the battery psyichally out of the phone

I don't give nobody my number especially somebody that I don't know My number is private nobody gets my number

? you just said you "watching a RU-vid video, and the lady said her gloves looked like golf gloves" , other people that had watched the same video searched to buy golf gloves, so you get an add for golf gloves because you saw the same video as them ;-) simple really.

@@vasopel So you’re saying that if other people watch the same videos as me, I get the adds for things that their shopping for?…. Hmm 🤔

@@Santos.Equestrian ;-)
