A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If someone wants to know what music I listen to... they could just ask. Or point a directional microphone at the window from a distance (technology that has existed for almost a century now, and modern systems can likely work from miles away).
Either would be a lot easier than exploiting a zero day side channel attack which would surely be detected and closed.
Also, it can take years for a music track to go from an idea in the artist's head to being available for download by a consumer. If it takes a week to compress the file... that's no biggie at all. Only the decompression side needs to be power efficient.
