We have been told that so many times at work, but I know most snr people seem to leave them and their smart watches in listen mode as they occasionally go off in video calls.

Once in a zoom call my watch said “sorry, I didn’t understand that”… and simultaneously the watch the other person on the call was wearing said the same thing!

Knowing what exploits are like in the private/state sector that seems like a no-brainer if your threat model includes a well-funded attacker.
