every speaker is a microphone
the first thing they teach you in bedroom electronics
Your Samsung TV doesn't have a microphone.
But it knows where to find one.
A soundbar. A Bluetooth speaker. Any connected device with audio input.
The TV hunts for it. Finds it. Uses it.
All without asking permission.
A config file called csapi-tv-service-alwaysonvoice.
Always on. Always listening. Never stops.
The TV listens through your soundbar.
Classifies the audio before shipping it off.
Dog barking event. Counts it. Sends it.
Baby crying event. Counts it. Sends it.
How long the camera streamed. Counts it. Sends it.
Sensor preferences. Counts it. Sends it.
All wrapped in telemetry. All going back to Samsung.
@log4j found it in the firmware October 23.
Posted about it. Twitter caught fire.
Samsung calls it Q-Symphony. A feature. A unified sound ecosystem.
Five Samsung devices talking together. Optimizing channel distribution.
Sounds nice. Also means five microphones reporting back.
The TV presents it as convenience.
You get better audio. Samsung gets everything you say.
A soundbar you bought to make your movie louder.
Became a microphone you didn't know you owned.
Samsung didn't hide it. Just didn't mention it.
In the privacy policy. In the manual. In the setup screen.
Just assumed you'd never check the config files.
Now researchers are checking the config files.
And finding microphones everywhere.

Over 2 years of work, and iterating over and over trying to improve it and to figure out what kind of product it should be, SelfReflect is approved for the App Store. It’s been used in several seen and unseen studio productions and is ready for prime time, baby.
LFG!
